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.

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.
