Quang Ngo shoved all in first from the cutoff. Felix Weis, seated immediately to his left, quickly did the same.
Donald Manns hadn't looked at his card yet. As soon as he did, he pushed all in as well.
Quang Ngo: 10♣10♠
Donald Manns: A♣A♦
Felix Weis: A♥8♠
The runout of J♠4♣2♠2♣6♥ didn't crack the aces. Ngo was out and Manns had new life.
Level: 19
Blinds: 8,000/16,000
Ante: 16,000
Cooper Feltham limped in the small blind to see a cheap flop but Lester Edoc defended his blind by raising to 52,000. Not willing to let go of his hand, Feltham shoved all-in for 250,000 from the small blind and Edoc made the call taking them to showdown.
Cooper Feltham: K♠9♦
Lester Edoc: A♥9♣
Edoc had Feltham dominated but all that changed when the dealer flopped J♣K♥9♠. Feltham caught two pair leaving Edoc to hope for an ace to drop. The turn 3♥ and the river Q♠ didn't help him. Feltham scooped the pot for a double up.
Brian James raised from late position to 28,000, Sadek El Hakim moved all in for his last 52,000, and Cody Krause also moved all in for his last 208,000. James moved out of the way, and the cards were on their backs.
Sadek El Hakim: A♣J♥
Cody Krause: A♠K♠
El Hakim was already packing up his things as the board ran out with 3♥8♣10♦5♥4♦, and Krause won with ace high and the better kicker.
Kristen Foxen raised to 24,000 under the gun and Kevin Eyster defended his big blind.
The A♥Q♣6♣ hit the felt and Eyster check-called a bet of 16,000.
The turn peeled the 3♥ and Eyster checked once more. This time, he folded after Foxen bet 28,000.
It seems the bubble was good to Foxen as she continues to gain momentum, approaching the million mark.
Cody Krause had his short stack all in and at risk against Anatoly Nikitin.
Cody Krause: A♦Q♦
Anatoly Nikitin: 7♣7♦
The flop fanned out 5♣2♥J♣, followed by the 4♥, all safe for Nikitin, but the Q♥ gave Krause a breath of live as he paired his queen.
Thomas Cazayous raised from early position to 24,000, and Lirui Zhang made the call from the big blind. The flop went A♠3♠3♦, and Zhang checked into Cazayous, who continued with 22,000. Zhang called.
The turn 4♦ had Zhang check-call again when Cazayous bet 40,000.
On the river 9♠ Zhang gave a check and stared at his opponent, but that didn't faze Cazayous from moving all in for 113,000. Zhang made the call but mucked when Cazayous turned over A♥Q♥ for two pair.
Alexander Massman tried unsuccessfully to leave the table on three consecutive hands. The fourth time was a charm.
First he thought he was out when he went all in against Anatoly Nikitin. He put on his backpack and stood to exit. But he had Nikitin covered, so had to sit back down with just 16,000 chips.
He went all in on the next hand and again stood to leave, but learned he chopped the pot. He hit a pair of queens on his third straight all-in to stay alive.
The next hand against Xinze Li didn't work out so well.
Alexander Massman: K♠3♠
Xinze Li: A♣Q♦
The runout 4♣K♦Q♣10♣9♣ gave Li a flush, and Massman was finally able to leave.
