Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Nicolas Milgrom bet 4,000 from the cutoff on a flop of AJK before Veerachai Vongxaiburana raised to 27,500 in the big blind. Milgrom called and the A fell on the turn.

Vongxaiburana then bet 70,000 and Milgrom snap-called for his last 69,500. Milgrom showed AAQJJ for quads and Vongxaiburana didn't even wait for the dealer to turn over the 9 river before his cards hit the muck.

Sklar Acts Out of Turn, Then Busts to Madsen

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Jeff Madsen bet 17,000 from the big blind on a board of J32A and Richie Sklar called under the gun.

The river was the 6 and Madsen reached for chips as Sklar quickly pushed the rest of his stack over. Madsen told him he hadn't acted yet and confirmed with the dealer that Sklar's bet would be binding if he checked. Madsen then checked and Sklar's bet stood as a pot to 68,000, and Madsen repotted as Sklar splashed in his last few chips.

Madsen showed AQ664 for the nut flush and a low, while Sklar showed A10822 before heading to the rail.

Rheem Gets Quartered by Leonard

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Patrick Leonard min-raised the button to 5,000 and Chino Rheem defended his big blind.

Rheem checked his option over to Leonard on the A5Q flop. Leonard bet 5,000, which Rheem called.

Both players checked the A turn to see the 7 appear on the river. Rheem checked, and Leonard bet 15,000. After a few moments, Rheem made the call.

Leonard showed A8632 for trip aces with the nut low. Rheem revealed K10432, which couldn't beat Leonard's trip aces, but he did have the same low, meaning Leonard got three-quarters of the pot.

"Good Guy" Zhu Snaps Off Chen

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Heads-up on a flop of 1054, James Chen bet 7,500 from the small blind and Yueqi Zhu called under the gun.

The turn was the J and Chen checked to Zhu, who bet 32,500. Chen called to the A river, where he potted to 97,500. Zhu snap-called.

Chen showed AQ962, while Zhu turned over J10532 for a wheel to scoop the pot.

"A wheel is never good there," tablemate Phil Hellmuth joked with Zhu after the hand. "I like this guy. He's a good guy," Hellmuth added, patting Zhu on the back as Zhu raked in the pot.

Chen had busted Walter Chambers on the previous hand, and Chambers was still standing by his seat waiting to reenter while this hand was taking place.

Miner spent several minutes in the tank before the clock was eventually called, and he ended up putting in the chips to cover both opponents.

Jonathan Bowers: A8632 All in
Christopher Yott: AQQ72 All in
Benjamin Miner: A8722

The board ran out 5Q and Bowers ended up making a straight to secure the high pot, while all three players chopped up the low. Yott also took three-quarters of the side pot with his set of queens.

Dylan Lindsey raised to 6,000 under the gun and Scott Seiver called for his last 2,000 from the cutoff. Aaron Kupin also came along from the big blind, and they went to the flop with Seiver all in.

Kupin and Lindsey checked all the way to the river on a board of 9K7Q8 before Kupin bet 4,000. Lindsey thought about it for quite some time before choosing to fold.

Kupin turned over 106532 for a straight, prompting Seiver to muck.

With Matusow all-in, the 6 dropped on the turn. Demaci bet 40,000, which was enough to get Biedak to fold.

Demaci revealed AAJ97 for a flopped boat. Upon seeing Demaci's cards, Matusow said he had zero outs and mucked his cards as the 2 river completed the board. Matusow was out, and Demaci added more chips to his stack,
