David Salituro

Level 14 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

With around 80,000 in the pot on a flop of 8♣7♥K♥, Griffin Goodman bet 25,000 from the hijack before Peter Neff potted to 152,000 in the cutoff. "Oh man. Does that put me all in?" Goodman asked as he spun around in his chair before calling for around the same amount.

Griffin Goodman: A♥8♥8♠5♠4♣ All in
Peter Neff: A♣6♣3♥2♥2♦

Goodman found himself ahead with a set as the 10♥ turn also gave him a flush. The river was the 10♦ and Goodman improved to a full house to earn the double up.

"I almost folded. I'm not good," Goodman said.

Level 14 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Alex Tchong raised the button to 18,000 before Jim Collopy jammed from the small blind for roughly 40,000. Tchong called.

Jim Collopy: A♥Q♦J♥8♦4♠ All in
Alex Tchong: A♦7♦7♣4♣2♦

Collopy moved ahead on the 10♣K♥A♣ flop, as he flopped Broadway. The 3♥ turn gave Tchong a low draw, and the 5♣ river was disastrous for Collopy. Tchong improved to a flush and a wheel to scoop the pot, eliminating Collopy.

Level 14 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Chino Rheem bet 70,000 from middle position on a flop of 10♠J♦7♠ and Tyler Phillips called on the button. Jon Kyte then moved all in for 224,000 in the big blind, Rheem reshoved for 350,000, and Phillips called to create a massive pot with nearly 1,000,000 in the middle.

Jon Kyte: J♠J♥5♦4♠2♦ All in
Chino Rheem: A♣9♣8♦4♥2♣ All in
Tyler Phillips: A♥Q♠10♥7♣2♠

Rheem had flopped a straight against Kyte's top set and Phillips' flush draw. The 4♣ fell on the turn, but the K♥ river improved Phillips to the nut straight and earned him the double knockout.

"Holy shit. That was massive," tablemate Patrick Leonard said.
