Dustin Merrill opened to 24,000 and got raised by his seatmate Timothy Fereira. With action folded around and action back to him, Merrill called to see the flop.
The dealer fanned out 5♣6♥7♣. After a check from Merrill, Fereira immediately announced all-in and Merrill folded just as fast.
With roughly 60,000 in the middle Stacy Kimbrel bet 52,000 from the big blind position on the board of 7♦9♠2♣4♦.
Keegan Mccann responded with a raise to 134,000 from the cutoff.
Kimbrel made the call creating a big pot heading into the river.
The 5♠ river prompted Kimbrel to lead out for the rest of his stack for approximately 130,000.
Mccann folded awarding Kimbrel the pot.
A three-way all-in just happened over on table #513, with Jeffrey Fast and Dustin Merrill being the players at risk. Timothy Ferreira had made the call with the covering stack and had the chance to bust two players.
Jeffrey Fast: J♣J♦
Dustin Merrill: 7♦7♠
Timothy Ferreira: A♦K♦
Ferreira just had to find an ace, a king, or some diamonds to propel his stack to almost a million. The dealer fanned out a flop of 7♣4♦5♣ to give Merrill a set of sevens. The 3♣ turn gave Fast a flush draw, and Ferreira a gutshot. The river was the 8♣, meaning Fast tripled up with a flush, and Merrill doubled through Ferreira with a set.
Rick Muniz opened for 35,000 under the gun and got a 125,000 three-bet from John Divecha on the button. After a few seconds, Muniz called to see the flop.
The flop dropped 2♦5♥K♠ and got a check-check leading both players to the turn. The turn 4♥ saw some action when Divecha shoved all-in for 185,000 after a check Muniz. Muniz looked at the massive stack in front of him and decided to make the call.
John Divecha: K♥K♣
Rick Muniz: A♠Q♥
Divecha had flopped a set but Muniz still had outs including a gutshot straight draw which can be a potential upset for his opponent. The dealer completed the board with a 8♣ river which didn't help Muniz at all. Divecha scooped the pot with a big smile, very much pleased with his double up.
Frank Monteiro got the last of his chips into the middle preflop, with Connor Richards being the player to try to send him home.
Frank Monteiro: A♠K♦
Connor Richards: Q♠Q♦
Monteiro found himself needing to hit the runout with his Big Slick to keep his bracelet dreams alive. However, the low runout of 7♦10♣7♥4♠3♥ kept Richards' Ladies ahead, sending Monteiro to the rail.
Siavash Bahri began the hand with an open under the gun to 24,000.
The raise was called from the cutoff by Yen-Tuan Chen and the button by Ryan Darby.
Enrique Gomez went all in from the big blind for 143,000 total garnering folds from Bahri and Chen. Darby gave it some thought before calling the additional amount putting Gomez at risk.
Enrique Gomez: K♣K♠
Ryan Darby: 2♣2♠
Gomez held the lead with pair over pair and the board did not change the situation when it ran 10♦J♣5♣4♣10♥.
