Brent Jenkins raised to 1,500 in middle position and Eben Kurtzman three-bet to 3,000 in the hijack. Jenkins then four-bet to 8,500 and Kurtzman moved all in.
Jenkins had around 40,000 remaining and didn't take long before throwing away his hand. "You're just going to keep waking up with it every hand, aren't you?" tablemate Simon Britton said to Kurtzman.
"Here you go," Kurtzman replied, tossing A♠A♥ into the middle of the table.
"That's three times today," Britton added.
"Only twice," Kurtzman said.
"Oh, you had kings the other time," Britton replied.
Three-way to a 8♦A♥Q♠ flop, Steven Brooks checked from the big blind, and Nicholas Rigby did so in the hijack. Paul Jager then tossed in 2,400 on the button, which both players called.
Brooks checked the 6♣ turn again, but Rigby led out for 6,200. Jager called, while Brooks had seen enough and got out of the way.
The Q♣ turn slowed Rigby down, checking it over to Jager. Jager assembled a sizable bet of 17,400, calmly placing it in the middle of the table.
It did not take long for Rigby to find a call, and he received good news when Jager did not want to show his cards, tossing his presumed bluff into the muck.
Rigby showed the 5♣ as he raked in the chips, leaving Jager to wonder what he had.
After an open to 1,200 by a player in middle position, Diane Zimmerman called from the cutoff. The button called as well, but Cosme Gomez in the big blind three-bet to 6,300. Zimmerman was the only one to call.
The dealer fanned a flop of A♦5♠7♣ and Gomez continued for 4,400, but Zimmerman quickly raised to 11,000. It only took a few seconds for Gomez to fold.
Action folded all the way round to Brandon Sowers in the small blind, who raised up to 1,100. Daniel Clement then raised to 5,500 from the big blind, and received a call.
When checked to, Clement threw out a continuation-bet of 6,500 on a flop of 5♣6♥2♠ Before the chips had even left his hands, Sowers called. Action then checked through on both the 7♣ turn and the A♠ river. Sowers showed 9♥9♦ expecting to be good, however he lost out to the K♠K♦ of Clement.
Jalil Mekouane opened the hijack to 1,200 and Gregory Fishberg called the big blind.
The 7♦3♠2♦ flop was checked by Fishberg, Mekouane bet 1,400 and Fishberg called.
The 8♦ was checked down to the 9♥ river. Fishberg bet 5,000 and Mekouane called.
Fishberg showed 3♦4♦ for the flush, and Mekouane mucked.

Green checked again when the 5♣ hit the turn, and Ladines bet 10,000. After some thought, Green decided to fold.
Action folded around to the blinds, where Wen Lyu raised to 1,300 from the small blind and Jake Schwartz defended his big blind.
Schwartz called a 1,300 bet from Lyu on the 7♠A♠K♠ flop and then both players checked on the 9♣ turn.
The A♦ completed the board and Lyu pulled a single t-5,000 chip from his stack and looked like he wanted to bet, but then checked. Schwartz gave a puzzled look and then checked behind.
Lyu revealed J♠7♣ for a aces and sevens and Schwartz sent his hand into the muck.
