Landon Tice and Jeremy Becker are in an intense poker crossbook, with significant stakes involved. With Matt Berkey backing Tice and Daniel Negreanu supporting Becker, there's undoubtedly a lot of strategic advice and support behind both players. It'll be interesting to see how the tournament unfolds for them and whether either can secure a substantial cash to potentially swing the crossbook in their favor.
Erick Lindgren's table again saw a huge multi-way pot, but this time four players committed their stacks preflop.
Martin McCloskey raised from early position and induced a ton of action as the cutoff called, as did David Williams. Erick Lindgren shoved for 5,200, which both McCloskey and the cutoff called. Williams shoved for over 30,000, then McCloskey and the cutoff both put their stacks into the middle.
Erick Lindgren: 8♥5♠
Cutoff: Q♣9♦
David Williams: A♥5♦
Martin McCloskey: A♦J♠
McCloskey would eliminate three players if his ace-jack held up, but it was Williams who took the main pot as he paired his five on the K♣5♣7♠2♦6♠ runout, which eliminated the cutoff and Lindgren, and left McCloskey with a very small stack.

Phil Riley raised from the cutoff then Jeremy Becker three-bet from the button.
The flop came A♠7♥4♦, Riley checked, Becker bet 1,200 and Riley called.
The turn card was the 5♣ and Riley checked. When action was on Becker, Riley commented "be careful about bluffing, there is a reporter watching this hand." Becker then checked.
The river was the 8♥. Riley bet 3,300 and Becker tossed his cards into the muck.

The starting stack is 20,000 chips, and play will continue until a winner is crowned.

When asked if the bracelet had any special meaning to Berger, he said the bracelet was very cool but that "the money is more important because I donate it, so the fact that I've got the biggest score of my life and it'll go to a good cause is very cool."
