Patrick Leonard limped under the gun, Matthew Vengrin limped the button, Shaun Deeb completed from the small blind, and John Racener checked his option in the big blind.
The Q♥J♠3♣ flop checked through to the 10♠ turn which saw the action check to Leonard who potted for 25,000. Vengrin folded, Deeb called from the small blind, and Racener folded.
On the repeat 10♦ river, Deeb led for 62,000 effective to put Leonard at risk as he went deep into the tank.
"If I call don't slowroll me," Leonard requested. Deeb nodded his head to oblige.
Leonard eventually let it go as Deeb added, "I have two very relevant cards on this board," as he tabled the K♦3♠.

The action checked to Sternheimer on the 5♥J♦Q♥ flop and he bet 22,000. Nedelcu folded, but Demaci called.
The 5♦ turn checked through, as did the 9♣ river. Sternheimer revealed K♣K♥6♥3♠ for a pair of kings, and Acovino showed Qx6x6x4x for a pair of queens. Demaci mucked, the pot was sent to Sternheimer, and Acovino was out.

On the 10♦4♦3♥ flop, the remainder of Yockey's 145,000 found its way into the middle as he was at risk against Weiss.
Bryce Yockey: A♠A♥K♠9♥
Dennis Weiss: A♦K♣Q♦4♥
Yockey had naked aces against the flush draw and pair of Weiss. The J♥ turn added a flurry of outs for Weiss who made the nuts on the 9♣ river to send Yockey to the rail.

Shaun Deeb raised to 12,000 from early position with Andres Korn calling from the cutoff, and Brad Owen calling from the button.
The action checked to Owen on the K♦K♥K♣ flop and he placed out a min-bet of 6,000. Deeb check-raised to 26,000, forcing Korn to fold. Owen called.
Deeb continued with a bet of 45,000 when the 6♥ dropped on the turn. This was enough to get Owen to fold, and Deeb pulled in the pot.

Brad Owen limped the hijack, Luis Velador made it 15,000 in the cutoff, and Allen Kessler three-bet to 40,000 on the button. Owen then jammed for 142,000, Velador painfully folded, and Kessler called all-in for 135,000.
Allen Kessler: A♠A♦K♣2♦
Brad Owen: K♠K♦Q♠J♣
"Allen three-bet, what do you think he had?" joked tablemate Shaun Deeb as the hands were tabled.
Owen was in rough shape with no low potential and the dominated pair. He found no help on the 9♣7♠2♥2♣7♣ runout as Kessler improved to trip twos for the double as Owen was left on crumbs.
Deeb kept on going, "Don't you love these new mixed game players, Allen? They don't know your tendencies."
