Four players went to a flop of J♣9♠3♣ when Timothy Lilly bet 2,200 from early position. Only David Frutchey called under the gun.
Lilly bet another 4,700 on the 10♦ turn and Frutchey again called. Frutchey checked to Lilly on the A♥ river, and this time Lilly checked back.
Frutchey turned over A♣10♣ for rivered two pair and Lilly mucked J♥10♥ for a smaller two pair.
Lilly's friend was watching the action by the table before going up to him after the hand. "You are the unluckiest motherf**ker around. And I say that in the nicest way possible," Lilly said with a laugh.
Action was joined as Tom Sinistaj and Benjamin Ane were looking at a J♠5♣K♦ flop, and roughly 2,600 in the middle.
Ane, first to act, put out a bet of 1,700, which was quickly raised to 5,000 by Sinistaj. Ane made the call before both players chose to check the K♥ turn.
The river 10♣ prompted Ane to retake the betting lead, wagering 9,700. Sinistaj looked visibly uncomfortable, sitting back in his seat, deliberating. After a minute or so, he elected to raise, putting out 26,000.
It was then Ane's turn to go into the tank, and after a few minutes, he decided just to return his cards to the dealer.
The action was picked up on a board of K♥6♥4♣A♥2♥ with 6,500 in the pot. Tyree Johnson in the cutoff checked, then went deep into the tank after Jay Romano on the button bet 3,200.
Johnson struggled to make a decision for a long moment but he ultimately chose to call.
"Good call," Romano said while flipping over 6♣3♣ for a pair and not the flush Johnson worried about. Seeing this hand, Johnson was happy to show A♣A♠ for a set.
Marc Desantis limped from the small blind and Edward Rosenbaum raised to 700 from the big blind. Desantis called.
The 9♥10♣6♦ flop saw both check to the J♥ turn.
Desantis bet out 800 which was enough for Rosenbaum to fold.
In the next hand, David Vanreyk opened to 700 from middle position and Desantis called on the button. Gaoming Zhu also defended the big blind.
The Q♥A♠J♠ flop saw Zhu check and Vanreyk bet 500. Desantis raised to 1,700 and both Zhu and Vanreyk mucked.
There was roughly 4,000 chips in the pot on 8♥2♣Q♥A♦7♥, John Krupey who was in the hijack bet 2,000, Carlos Ibarra took his time before he made the call from the small blind and Gavin Sardini folded in the big blind.
Krupey tabled the nut flush with A♥3♥, Ibarra flashed the A♣ before he mucked his hand.
Action was picked up on a board of A♣K♣9♣2♥ with around 7,000 in the middle. Dana Howard checked her action over to Jonathan Fader, who bet out for 4,800. Howard then put in a check-raise to 8,000, which, after some time, was changed to 9,600 by the dealer. Fader then stuck in 8,800, which again had to be changed.
The river 9♦ checked through, and Howard announced, "I have a flush," tabling J♣4♣.
"That river saved my whole main event," replied Fader, who said he had a smaller flush.
Juan Cantu raised to 400 in middle position. 2023 WSOP Europe champion Max Neugebauer then three-bet to 1,300. Sonny Lee cold-called in the small blind, prompting Cantu to bump it up to 3,400.
Neugebauer reraised again, putting in 9,000 chips. Lee quickly moved out of the way, and Cantu eventually followed suit, shipping the pot to Neugebauer without the need for a flop.
With 7,000 in the pot on a flop of 10♠6♦3♦, Antonio Puntas bet 2,000 from the cutoff and Guifang Liu called under the gun.
Both players checked the 3♠ turn. Liu then led out for 3,500 on the 2♣ river and Puntas called.
Liu showed K♦Q♦ for a missed flush draw, while Puntas had 6♣5♣ for two pair to win the pot.
