Brian Yoon: 8♥8♠/ 8♦3♠Q♥5♣ / 9♣
Per Hildebrand: K♥K♣ / 6♦7♠8♣A♦ / 5♠

Brian Yoon began the post-dinner session as one of the short stacks, but found the perfect start when play resumed.

With play on the stone bubble, Yoon completed and chip leader Per Hildebrand was the only caller.

Yoon bet on fourth street and was called. Yoon fired another bet on fifth street before Hildebrand raised. Yoon was undeterred and called. Yoon then called bets on sixth and seventh street.

Hildebrand had kings in the hole but it was no match for Yoon's rolled up eights, which was good for trips and the pot.

Eric Wasserson: XxXxXx / 3♥5♣2♦Q♦

Qiang Xu completed and Eric Wasserson, the bring-in, called.

Wasserson called a bet on fourth street, then raised on fifth street. Xu paused briefly before calling. Both players checked sixth street. On seventh, Xu bet again.

Wasserson looked frustrated, cursing to himself. He counted out calling chips and called the bet by essentially handing over his chips to Xu.

“Straight?!” Wasserson exclaimed, jumping from his chair after seeing Xu had hit his hand on seventh street. Clearly frustrated, he later told Paul Volpe he had two pair.
