Darren Taylor raised on the button and Matthew Alexander reraised in the small blind. Jason Adams called all in in the big blind, Taylor made it four-bets, and Alexander also called for his last chips.
Jason Adams: A♠Q♦8♥7♠
Matthew Alexander: A♣K♦8♠2♠
Darren Taylor: A♥J♣10♥5♠
Taylor hit a straight on the Q♥8♦9♥ flop, while Adams and Alexander couldn't catch up on the 9♦ turn or 4♦ river as Taylor scooped the pot to send both opponents to the rail.
Christopher Vitch raised from early position and was called by Melvin McCraney in middle position, Randy McGregor in the small blind, and Ken Aldridge in the big blind.
On the J♥J♣5♥ flop, McGregor led from the small blind and was called by Vitch and McCraney.
McGregor fired again on the 3♣ turn and both opponents called.
The 6♠ river checked through.
Randy McGregor: A♦K♣Q♥J♦
Christopher Vitch: A♣9♠4♣3♠
Melvin McCraney: K♥Q♦J♠9♦
Vitch had the best low with ace-four while McGregor took the high with ace-jack, pipping the king-jack of McCraney who took a hit to his stack.
David Anderson raised from under the gun and Ilia Krupin called on the button with Shunsuke Shimakura calling to put himself at risk in the big blind.
Anderson check-called a bet from Krupin on the flop of 10♥7♦6♥ and action checked down on the 4♥5♦ runout.
Shunsuke Shimakura: A♣7♥6♣4♣
David Anderson: A♠Q♣8♦3♠
Ilia Krupin: K♦K♣10♦7♠
The tens and sevens were good for Krupin to take the high while Anderson's second nut-low was good for the low, chopping Shimakura out of the tournament.
Life Outside Poker is a podcast for PokerNews hosted by Connor Richards that seeks to pull back the curtain on poker players and allow viewers and listeners to get to know them on a personal level.
In the 28th episode, Connor talks with Canadian high-stakes pro Sam Greenwood about getting into poker with his two brothers Lucas Greenwood and Max Greenwood, running up a bankroll in high school, traveling the world playing high-stakes tournaments, climbing Canada's all-time money list and battling with Vladimir "Gambledore" Korzinin at Triton.
Greenwood also talked about the state of online poker, how to deal with cheaters, being a dad and his new "Punt of the Day" blog where he breaks down key hands from high-stakes tournaments.
After losing a few hands during the level, Dylan Smith found himself all-in for his last 60,000 from under the gun. Patrick Stacey three-bet from the small blind and the big blind folded.
Dylan Smith: A♦10♣6♣4♣
Patrick Stacey: A♠Q♠4♠2♥
The K♥9♥9♣ flop brought no help to Smith. The board ran out A♣6♠ and Stacey held the winner with aces and nines with a queen kicker as Smith found the exit in 35th.
