Bach hit his straight on the 8♠ turn while the 5♥ river remained inconsequential and the clash of the bracelet winners saw Bach as the victor.

No-Limit 2-7 Single Draw

Philip Sternheimer raised to 20,000 in the hijack. Simeon Tsonev then three-bet jammed for 143,000 on the button, and Matt Vengrin also moved all in in the small blind.

Vengrin had Sternheimer covered, and Sternheimer called after he spent some time in the tank. Vengrin stood pat on the draw, as did Sternheimer. Tsonev elected to draw one card, and the players showed their cards.

Vengrin showed 8x6x5x4x2x for a pat eight, but Sternheimer had found a pat seven with 7x6x5x3x2x.

"I'm drawing dead," Tsonev claimed as he eventually tabled 9x6x4x3x2x. Tsonev took his exit, seeing Sternheimer ship the gigantic pot of nearly seven figures.

No-Limit Hold'em

Robert Wells raised to 18,000 from under the gun and was called by Jeff Madsen in the small blind.

Madsen checked to Wells, who continued for 20,000 on the 7♦3♣6♣ flop. Madsen then check-raised to 68,000 and Wells called.

The 8♠ fell on the turn and Madsen announced he was all in, which was enough to put Wells all in for approximately 370,000 total.

"Nice hand," Wells said before laying his hand down.

No-Limit Hold'em

Colin Wickersheim open-jammed his last 61,000 in the cutoff. John Centeno called on the button, and Fu Wong did so in the small blind.

A flop of 6♦2♣2♠ was put on the table. Wong checked, Centeno bet 45,000, and Wong laid his hand down to force a showdown.

Colin Wickersheim: 7♠7♥ All in
John Centeno: Q♥Q♣

Wickersheim's sevens were in dire shape. Centeno's ladies remained best on the 4♦ turn and K♣ river, and Wickersheim was consequently sent to the rail.

Bronshtein led on fourth and fifth with Madsen staying around.

Bronshtein led again on sixth before Madsen raised, and Bronshtein called. Bronshtein checked dark on seventh and called after Madsen bet. He got the bad news as Madsen revealed his nines in the whole as he made three nines on fifth to scoop the pot.

Omaha Hi-Lo

Ryan Hoenig raised on the button and was three-bet by Yueqi Zhu in the small blind. Anthony Ribeiro called cold in the big blind and Hoenig called as well.

Zhu continued for a bet on the 3♥Q♣8♦ flop and both Ribeiro and Hoenig called.

The 10♥ fell on the turn and Zhu bet again. Ribeiro raised, which got a fold from Hoenig and a reraise from Zhu to put Ribeiro all in for his last 21,000 behind. Ribeiro called and hands were revealed.

Anthony Ribeiro: A♥Q♥J♣6♥ All in
Yueqi Zhu: A♦A♣6♠5♥

Zhu was ahead with his aces, but the Q♦ river sent a jolt through Zhu, who jumped up a bit in his seat, as it improved Ribeiro to trip queens for the double-up.

Hiroshi Tanaka: XxXx/K♥9♣J♦J♣/Xx

Both players checked fourth street to fifth street where Kyte check-called a bet from Tanaka.

On sixth street Tanaka bet and Kyte called, with the same action repeating on seventh street.

Tanaka turned over K♦8♦5♥ for kings and jacks, but it was rendered second best by Kyte who had A♦3♥2♦ for aces and sevens.

2-7 Triple Draw

Hiroshi Tanaka raised in middle position. It folded to big blind Sean Akhavi, who defended and drew two cards. Tanaka also needed two new cards, and both players checked afterward.

The second draw saw the opponents draw two each again. Akhavi bet after the draw, and Tanaka called. Akhavi remained pat, Tanaka drew one card, and Akhavi bet after the final draw.

Tanaka tanked a bit before he put in a raise, which was quickly called by Akhavi. Tanaka tabled 8x6x4x3x2x for number six, causing Akhavi to add his cards to the muck.
