Shane Kelly raised in early position and Michael Krasienko moved all in for 14,000 from late position which saw Eric Polirer in the hijack and David Delchamps in the big blind call.

David Delchamps: Q♥J♥5♦4♣ All in — flush, 65-low
Eric Polirer: A♥4♦4♠3♦ — pair of fours, nut low (6432A)
Shane Kelly: A♠K♠6♣6♠ — trip sixes, 86-low

Kelly and Polirer chopped the outermost side pot, while Delchamps and Polirer chopped the remaining two pots. Krasienko was eliminated as the field drifted closer to the money.

Multiple bets went into the middle preflop as Howard Mann in early position, Scott Clements in middle position, as well as Michael Russell and Mary Jones in the blinds, saw a flop of J♦Q♣6♥. Jones then put in her last 7,000 and all three opponents called.

Mann, Russell, and Clements checked the J♠ turn. Mann then bet on the Q♦ river and Clements and Russell got out of the way.

"Got a queen?" Jones asked.

"I do," Mann said, showing A♠A♥Q♥4♣ for trip queens. Jones sent K♣10♥8♣7♠ into the muck as she hit the rail.

"Mann in orange wins pot. Just put that," tablemate Scott Lake joked after the hand

"Very good call sir," McGregor said as he tabled A♣K♣Q♠2♣ for just ace-high. Stone turned over A♦8♦5♥3♥ for trip fives and he took down the pot.

Ismael Bojang was under the gun and had his last chips in the middle on the turn with the board showing 4♣4♦2♦2♥. Christopher Vitch in the big blind and Jacob Nepom on the button had him at risk.

The river was the 9♠ and Vitch bet. Nepom called and Vitch showed 10♣5♣4♥2♣ for a full house. Bojang could only show A♥J♥6♠4♠ for trips.

"Kill him, quickly so he can go play the next tournament," Vitch said to the dealer.

"Here, let me do it for you," he added, going into the dealer's tablet to personally bust Bojang from the tournament.

"I like Seat 1. I have all the power. Usually being in Seat 1 is the worst, but not this year."
