Albert Daher: 7x6x / 4x4x3xJx / Xx

Albert Daher completed and short stack Christian Roberts called. Daher quickly called a bet after pairing on fourth and then raised Roberts bet on fifth street. Roberts called with his last few chips.

Roberts was ahead with nine-eight, which improved to an eight-five on sixth street. He peeled a Jx on seventh.

Daher needed a five, deuce or an ace to lock up the pot.

"You win," Daher said after he peeled his final card. It was never tabled and the pot was pushed to Roberts.

Pot-Limit Omaha

Erick Lindgren opened to 80,000 on the button, with Joao Vieira making the call in the big blind.

Both players checked the A♥7♠5♦ flop, with the dealer flipping over the 6♠ turn. Vieira led out for 150,000, and Lindgren took some time before sticking in the call.

Vieira led again on the 10♠ river, this time for 245,000. Lindgren counted out a raise to 750,000, representing most of his remaining stack. After taking some time of his own, Vieira announced all in, putting his opponent to the test.

"For real?" asked Lindgren smiling and he counted the rest of his stack. Lindgren slid in the call.

"Straight flush," said Vieira as he revealed J♠9♠8♠2♣ in his hand. Lindgren slid his cards to the dealer, who tabled A♠K♣9♦4♠ for an ace-high flush, not good enough to avoid hitting the rail in 11th place.

The flop came 9♦7♥K♠ and Taylor checked, Yeh bet 90,000 and Taylor potted it to 440,000, leaving 150,000 behind. Yeh shoved and Taylor called off with her remaining stack.

Esther Taylor: A♠K♦J♠9♠ All in
Andrew Yeh: Q♠J♥J♦10♣

Yeh had a pair of jacks and a wrap while Taylor had two pair. Taylor improved to a flush on the K♣ turn, leaving Yeh drawing dead, and after the 2♥ river, she doubled up.

Mike Matusow: Jx4x / Ax4x3x2x / Xx All in
Andrew Yeh: 3xAx / 2xKx6x5x / Kx

Mike Matusow completed with his last 50,000. Andrew Yeh raised, which folded out the rest of the table.

By sixth street, Yeh had a 6-5-3-2-A, meaning The Mouth needed to find a five or six on seventh street to survive.

The table wished Matusow luck as he began to peel his final card.

"It's paint, guys...no it's not," said Matusow. He then revealed a 2x leaving him with his jack-low.

Esther Taylor quickly stood up to give Matusow a hug, while a round of applause came from the spectators on the rail.

Matusow exchanged handshakes with everyone at the table before heading off to collect his six-figure payout.

Everyone in the field has now locked up $121,573.
