Sean Troha opened from the cutoff to 12,000. Aaron La was on the button and moved all in for his remaining 81,000. Troha called and the cards were flipped.
Aaron La: A♥8♣
Sean Troha: K♣Q♥
The 5♣10♦2♦ flop saw no change and La held with just an Ace on the 5♠ turn and 2♠ river.
It won't be an easy day for either player as they have Ren Lin and Jonathan Tamayo at their table.
Steven Snyder opened to 12,000 in late position and got called by Franchesco Yang in cutoff.
The dealer unfurled 3♣4♥Q♣ and both players checked through the turn K♦. Snyder led out with another 12,000 on the river J♠ which Yang called.
Snyder showed Q♠10♦ for a pair on the flop, prompting Yang to throw his hand in the muck pile.
Kuowei Kao started the action with a raise to 12,000 and got called by Amin Hosein on the button and Steven Ritchie in the big blind.
The dealer showed A♣8♦K♣ and the three players checked to see a A♠ pair the board on the turn. It checked again to Hosein who bet 17,000 and only Kao made the call.
The J♠ fell on the river and Kao checked again. Hosein bet 40,000 and after a minute, Kao announced all in. Hosein snap-folded.
With Christopher Chan and Andrey Kaitmazov already all in, Anthony Koutsos made the decision to join the preflop party.
Christopher Chan: A♦K♥
Andrey Kaitmazov: Q♣Q♠
Anthony Koutsos: A♥K♠
The runout of 10♥6♠5♣7♠10♦ didn't deliver the ace of king that Chan and Koutsos needed, leading out a loud yelp from Kaitmazov, who found new life in tripling his stack with his pocket queens.
Kelly Lucas, previous surnname Minkin, went all in under the gun for 95,000. Pierce Mckellar made the call from the big blind.
Kelly Lucas: 10♣10♦
Pierce Mckellar: A♣Q♥
The board ran out K♣6♣6♥2♥8♣ and Lucas secured a full double up.
Johann Tiemann raised to 12,000 from middle position and was called by Andre Marcano on the button.
The flop came 5♠4♠5♦, Tiemann bet 11,000, and Marcano called.
The turn was the 6♥, this time Tiemann bet 23,000, which got a fold from Marcano.
Kyle Shigano opened the hijack and Thomas Betz moved all in from the cutoff for 54,000. Shigano called taking them to showdown.
Thomas Betz: K♠K♦
Kyle Shigano: A♦J♠
There was little sweat for Betz on the 3♠5♥9♦ flop, and he held on the 10♥ turn and 2♣ river, securing himself the double.
In a heads-up raised pot, the flop showed 3♦7♥4♠ when John Tavss first checked from the small blind. Charles Russell bet 30,000 from the big blind and faced an all in shove from Tavss, who had him covered. Russell eventually called for a remaining stack around 120,000 and they tabled their cards:
Charles Russell: 10♥10♦
John Tavss: J♠J♦
Russell didn't find any miracle on the A♥ turn and A♦ river and the pot was shipped to Tavss.
Action was picked up on the flop of 8♥2♥6♦ and a pot of around 40,000. Draxton Amador in the small blind and Adin Aragon in big checked the action to Kenzo Ishida. Ishida fired 15,000 which was enough to make Amador fold.
Aragon called to see another card. The turn dropped 9♣ and after a check Ishida placed 50,000 in the middle making Aragon think about his next move. After a few seconds, he mucked his hand leaving the pot to be awarded to Ishida.
