Maxx Coleman raised from the hijack and was called by Christina Hill in the big blind.

Hill check-called bets from Coleman on the 4♠K♥10♠ flop, J♠ turn, and 4♣ river.

Coleman turned over A♥A♦ for aces-up and Hill showed she held K♠J♣ for an inferior two pair.

"You sucked out!" Hill said jokingly.

"At least you can afford it," Coleman responded.

Action was picked up on fifth as Guagenti checked, Kupin bet, Cozen called, Guagenti raised, and both opponents called.

Cozen led with open eights on sixth, Guagenti raised, Kupin cold-called, and Cozen called.

It checked to Kupin on seventh who bet and both opponents called. "Flush and low," announced Kupin as he tabled his jack-high flush and eight-seven low, which was enough to scoop the entire pot.

"Red four on seventh was ideal," joked Kupin as he dragged the pot.

Akhavi led out for a bet after pairing his ten on fourth street and everyone called.

On fifth street, Akhavi bet again, which got calls from Condon and Clotar, but a fold from Benson.

Akhavi continued betting on sixth street and both Condon and Clotar called.

On seventh street, Akhavi bet once more and Condon called. Clotar raised and both Akhavi and Condon called.

Razz

Koji Fujimoto: XxXx / Ax8x9xJx / Xx - folded on seventh street
Yueqi Zhu: XxXx / 5xKx7x3x / Xx

Zhu completed, Fujimoto raised, and Zhu called. Fujimoto led on fourth which Zhu quickly called.

On fifth, Fujimoto led again and Zhu raised, which raised some eyebrows from the table as he was showing a less promising board as Fujimoto called.

Zhu must have known what was coming on sixth as he caught well and Fujimoto caught poorly as he check-called a bet.

Fujimoto check-folded to a bet on seventh, as Zhu revealed an additional 5x from his hole cards.

Ramos stood pat and Brown drew one.

Gabriel Ramos: 10x9x7x6x3x All in
Andrew Brown: 9x7x3x2x

Brown tossed his draw face up on the table, which happened to be an 8x — giving Brown a nine to eliminate Ramos.
