Alex Foxen checked from the hijack on a board of J♣7♣8♣Q♠. Alex Komaromi bet 22,000 from the button, which Foxen called.
Foxen checked for the last time on the A♥ river. Komaromi mulled over his options for a few moments before checking. Komaromi picked the right choice as Foxen turned over A♣J♦J♠5♣ for the ace-high flush.
Three players headed to a flop of Q♣9♣4♥ and the action checked around to the A♥ on the turn. Christian Harder checked again from the blinds and Alan Sternberg took a stab at the pot with a bet of 26,000 in middle position. Daemon Richardson called on the button and Harder got out of the way.
The river was the 2♥ and Sternberg checked after the backdoor flush came in. Richardson splashed in a bunch of T25,000 chips and Sternberg quickly folded, leaving himself with just under starting stack.
Thomas Taylor raised it up in middle position and Nacho Barbero just flat-called on his left. The flop came 7♠3♠2♣ and Taylor checked to Barbero who bet the pot for 18,500. Taylor instantly check-raised the maximum and Barbero called off his stack of 42,500.
Nacho Barbero: K♠10♦9♦8♠
Thomas Taylor: A♠K♥Q♥J♠
Both players flopped a flush draw without a pair but it was Taylor who had the distinct edge. However, the 9♥ on the turn gave Barbero the only pair and the 2♥ paired the board on the river.
"You got scammed, man," Barbero said after collecting the pot.
On a completed board of A♦J♥8♣4♣K♥, Dennis Weiss checked out of the big blind. Parviz Razavian then bet 15,000 and Weiss reluctantly called.
"I have the nuts," Parvizian declared and his Q♣10♣10♦7♣ won the pot. Also on the table is Esther Taylor, who finished third in the $50,000 Poker Players Championship yesterday.
On the turn of a board showing J♣10♦4♠J♦, Sergio Fernandez bet 18,500 from the big blind with Matthew Beck calling from early position. Artem Maksimov folded from middle position and they went to the river heads-up.
Fernandez checked the 8♣ river and Beck bet 80,500. Fernandez thought it over for some time before folding and forfeiting the pot to Beck.
Cesar Garcia Dominguez was all-in with a severe short stack and tabled the A♥5♥4♠3♦. Alex Livingston had the superior A♦Q♥10♣7♦ but the A♠6♠3♥3♠10♦ board gave the Spaniard a full house. Despite that, he bowed out soon after and Livingston was left with fumes.
Three ways to the 10♦9♦9♠J♥ turn, Ronald Keijzer bet 8,000 from the small blind and Allen Shen on the button reluctantly called. They checked the 5♦ on the river and Keijzer tabled the K♠Q♠10♥2♣ for the king-high straight to win the pot.
Cards are in the air and play has started on Day 2 of Event #74: $10,000 Pot-Limit Omaha Championship.
