Big O

Three ways on a flop of 8♥8♦7♠, James Woods checked from the small blind and Christopher Alcindor bet 35,000. Daquon Wilson folded on the button and Woods called.

The A♥ fell on the turn and Woods shoved for approximately 100,000 total. Alcindor asked for a count and tanked a bit before eventually calling to put Woods at risk.

James Woods: A♣Q♠6♣3♦2♦ All in
Christopher Alcindor: A♦7♥5♦5♣4♥

Woods held the lead with a better ace and a low, and the 9♣ river changed nothing to award Woods the double up.

At another table, defending champion Magnus Edengren was eliminated.

Jennifer Kraber: A♠A♥K♣Q♣ All in
Federico Ottenio: A♣K♠Q♠2♣

The board ran out 8♥7♠2♥10♠K♥ and the kings up was good for Ottenio to scoop the pot and Kraber exited the tournament.

Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo

Daniel Zhu opened to 20,000 in late position and Christopher Conrad three-bet to 72,000 in the cutoff which saw only Zhu call.

The flop rolled out 5♠4♠3♣ and Zhu checked over to Conrad who bet 50,000. Zhu moved all in for 160,000 total and Conrad called to put him at risk.

Daniel Zhu: A♥9♠7♠2♣ All in
Christopher Conrad: A♠K♦7♥3♠

Zhu had flopped the wheel and was scooping both halves, but the turn 2♠ flipped the script to give Conrad a Steel Wheel. He was locked up to get three-quarters before the river 8♣ peeled off and he quartered Zhu's stack to leave him short.

Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo

Esther Taylor was in the big blind and had already shoved for approximately 250,000 on a flop of 8♠10♦6♣. Her lone opponent, Abdyl Konjuhi, called from early position after tanking for a bit to put Taylor at risk.

Esther Taylor: Q♠J♠8♦6♦ All in
Abdyl Konjuhi: A♠Q♥10♥3♣

Taylor held the lead with two pair, but the A♦10♠ runout improved Konjuhi to tens-full of aces to send Taylor to the rail.

Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo

Action was picked up on the turn in a three-way pot between Christopher Alcindor on the button, Max Pescatori in the big blind, and James Woods in the hijack.

The board read 6♥Q♥K♣9♣ and action checked around to Woods. With 60,000 in the center, Woods potted all in for his last 43,000 and Alcindor quickly folded.

"Ok, I'll gamble with you," said Pescatori as he stuck out a stack of red chips.

James Woods: A♠Q♠J♥10♣ All in
Max Pescatori: K♥7♣4♥2♠

Woods had turned a straight against Pescatori's top pair flush draw combo, and it held up on the river 4♠ for Woods to double.

"Wow this is exhausting," Woods said as he excitedly stacked up his chips "I'm going to just go back to jumping out of airplanes."

Derek Bugg opened to 16,000 from early position and just behind him, Rafael Nogueira raised pot. Action folded back to Bugg, who raised pot again to put Nogueira all in. Nogueira called and hands were revealed.

Rafael Nogueira: A♣A♦J♦9♣7♠ All in
Derek Bugg: A♠K♦5♠4♥2♠

Nogueira held aces, but the 3♠2♦2♣ flop vaulted Bugg into the lead with trip deuces.

Neither the 9♠ turn nor the 10♥ river changed anything and Bugg was awarded the rest of Nogueira's chips.
