With about 20,000 in the pot, Allen Shen and Eric Bunch arrived on the 2♥J♣5♦6♥10♦ river. Shen bet 18,000 from under the gun, which Bunch raised to 57,000.
Shen spent some minutes in the tank before he laid his hand down, still unsure whether it was the right decision.
David Baldanza checked from early position on the flop of 2♦7♠8♥ and Braxton Dunaway bet 2,500 from the hijack. Baldanza stuck around with a call.
The 4♦ fell on the turn and Baldanza check-called another bet from Dunaway, this time for 3,500.
After Baldanza checked the J♣ river, Dunaway fired a third barrel of 10,000. Baldanza eventually called and was shown Q♥Q♣ by Dunaway for an overpair. Baldanza mucked, and the pot was pushed to Dunaway.
As relayed back by Ben Slack and Josh Quint, a huge hand happened just before the. end of the night.
Slack made it 1,200 before Josh Quint three-bet to 3,500 from a few seats over. Srinivasa Vemulamada cold four-bet to 10,500, which forced Slack to fold. Quint five-bet to 30,200, and Vemulamada just called.
Vemulamada checked the 10♥6♥2x flop and Quint bet 22,400, Vemulamada jammed to put Quint all in, and Quint immediately called.
Josh Quint: AxAx
Srinivasa Vemulamada: KxKx
It was the classic cooler of aces versus kings in a pot of 209,200, and Quint was the player at risk. The turn and river were bricks, allowing Quint to earn a huge double-up at the end of the day.
