2-7 Triple Draw

Amauri Grutka raised from the cutoff and was three-bet by Matt Vengrin in the small blind. Noah Bronstein called cold in the big blind and Grutka called as well.

Vengrin and Bronstein drew one on the first draw while Grutka took two off. Vengrin bet and both Bronstein and Grutka called.

On the second draw, Vengrin stood pat, Bronstein drew one, and Grutka drew two again. Bronstein and Grutka then called another bet from Vengrin.

Everyone stood pat on the final draw and Vengrin checked to Bronstein, who bet. Grutka folded after tanking for a bit and Vengrin followed suit after tanking for a couple of minutes.

"Tell me this is a good fold," Vengrin said as he fanned out an eighty-seven.

"That's a good fold," Bronstein replied.

At another table, Mark Rubbathan was eliminated.

No Limit Hold'Em

Pablo Quintana moved all in from the hijack, Siddharth Sudunagunta called all in from the small blind, and the action was on Jeffrey Mcquillan in the big blind. He decided to call with a stack that covered both players.

Pablo Quintana: J♥10♠ All in
Siddharth Sudunagunta: A♦K♥ All in
Jeffrey Mcquillan: K♠7♠

The flop was Q♠7♦5♠, putting Mcquillan in the lead, and the turn 2♠ gave him a flush. The Q♣ river meant nothing, and Mcquillan won this three-way all in.

Pot-Limit Omaha

Tsutomu Inoue from the hijack, Jason Lipiner from the cutoff, and Kevin Gerhart from the big blind were tangled in a single-raised pot.

On the Q♥5♠3♣ flop, Gerhart led all-in for his final 38,000. Inoue called and Lipiner folded after some deliberation.

Kevin Gerhart: Q♦8♥8♣4♦ All in
Tsutomu Inoue: A♦K♣Q♠Q♣

Gerhart immediately placed his hand face-down on the table after seeing the top set of Inoue. Gerhart had less than two percent to survive which he could not do on the A♣3♦ runout as he hit the rail.

Pot-Limit Omaha

Diego Cordovez limped the cutoff before Xiaochuan Zhang raised to 28,000 on the button, and Cordovez called to create a pot of 74,000.

On the A♠Q♠10♦ flop, Cordovez checked to Zhang who bet 40,000, Cordovez shoved for 87,000, and Zhang called.

Diego Cordovez: Q♥Q♦6♦5♥ All in
Xiaochuan Zhang: A♣K♣J♦10♣

Cordovez was ahead with middle set against the wrap and two pair of Zhang. The K♥ turn completed the straight for Zhang before the J♣ fell on the river and Cordovez was sent to the rail. An additional note must be made that Zhang made broadway with all six combinations of his four-card hand, a rarity in the PLO world.
