Action folded around to John Dorsey in middle position, who raised to 360,000, only for Barry Shulman also in middle position to three-bet all in, and he had Dorsey covered. Dorsey made the call.
John Dorsey: K♦K♥
Barry Shulman: A♣K♣
The flop came J♣10♠4♠ and gave Shulman additional outs. The turn brought the 8♣ and added even more cards that Dorsey had to dodge. Luckily, the 6♥ on the river wasn't one of them and he was pushed the pot and a full double up.
Bryce Linville open-called all in from the hijack, with just 45,000 chips remaining in his stack. Alexandros Kolonias raised to 450,000 on the button, prompting the blinds to get out of the way. It was heads-up to a runout.
Bryce Linville: K♣7♠
Alexandros Kolonias: 4♠4♦
Linville took a lead early on the 7♥5♥8♥ flop, and held as the board ran out 5♦Q♠. He managed to 8x his stack, as he picked up 45,000 from both blinds and Kolonias, as well as the full 160,000 big blind ante.
Tefan Liu raised to 320,000 from early position, Matthew Bretzfield then went all in from middle position for roughly 4,000,000. Renmei Liu then went all in as well for 2,900,000 from the small blind. Liu folded, and the players were off to the races.
Renmei Liu: J♠J♥
Matthew Bretzfield: A♠K♠
The board ran out 6♠5♦7♦9♥4♣, securing a much-needed double up for Liu.
The remaining 185 players head to a second 20-minute break of the day. During this time, the 5,000 denomination chips will be raced off, and play will resume at 3:40 p.m. local time.
Yuko Takahashi went all in for 1,550,000 and Jason Spurgetis did the same, isolating. Takahashi Was disappointed to see she was behind when cards were on their backs.
Yuko Takahashi: A♦10♠
Jason Spurgetis: A♣K♠
The flop favored Takahashi as it fanned out A♠7♥10♥ and a disappointed Spurgetis was left to do the accounting as the 7♦ and 5♥ completed the board.
