With around 5,000 already in the pot and the board showing 10♥J♦3♠3♣, Andre Grohnert led out for 3,500 and was quickly called by Gianna Avdic Mcintire.
The 6♣ hit the river, and Grohnert tossed out another bet, this time for 2,000. Mcintire snap-called, and both players revealed matching hands: Grohnert showed J♣10♣, while Mcintire tabled J♥10♦. Each had two pair, jacks and tens, and the pot was split right down the middle.
Katherine Porrello opeend from middle position to 600 and got two calls from David Fish in the cutoff and Shay Sharabi in the small blind.
The 2♦7♦8♠ flop was checked to the A♣ turn.
Sharabi checked, Porrello bet 1,000 and Fish folded. Sharabi made the call taking the players to the J♦ river.
Sharabi checked, Porrello bet 3,200 and Sharabi folded.
With 4,100 in the pot, Nenad Cvetkovic, in the hijack, raised small blind Anthony Mattera's bet of 8,000 to 16,000 on the 8♥3♦7♣ flop. After a long tank, Mattera called.
Mattera took a couple of minutes on the 10♠ turn as well, eventually check-calling the 18,000 Cvetkovic put over the line. Mattera continued checking on the 8♣ river, after which Cvetkovic put his opponent all-in for 26,000.
Mattera acted quickly this time, almost instantly folding his cards. He complimented Cvetkovic's play as he saw the pot being awarded to his opponent.
Jared Ward opened from the button and faced Sergio Peral who defended from the big blind.
Both players checked the 4♠6♦3♦ flop, but Peral led out for 700 on the 4♦ turn. Ward called.
The 3♠ river completed the board but didn't bring more action. Peral turned over 5♥5♦ for two pair, but Ward with J♣6♣ had a better two pair.
Marc Goldman raised to 500 from the hijack, and only Raul Pantoja made the call from the cutoff.
Goldman continued for 600 on the 10♠9♣2♦, which Pantoja called.
There was no slowing down from Goldman on the J♥ turn; this time, he put out 1,600. Undeterred, Pantoja called to see a river.
That river was the 3♥. This time, Goldman constructed a more substantial bet, putting out 7,000. Pantoja didn't waste any time calling, but it was immediate bad news. Goldman turned over K♣Q♣ for the turned nut straight, and Pantoja returned his cards to the dealer face down.
"Woo-Chi-Wawa!" was the cry from Goldman, and not for the first time today. This prompted one of his tablemates to join in, and then, one table over, another player let out the same celebratory noise.
Adil Morkos kicked things off from the button with a raise to 700 and picked up calls from both blinds.
The flop came Q♥6♠J♦ and all three players checked.
When the K♣ landed on the turn, both blinds checked again and Morkos fired out 1,200. Sergio Aguero and Matthew Rogers both came along.
The river brought the 2♣, and this time the action checked through. Rogers revealed K♥10♦ for top pair, but Aguero showed K♠J♥ for two pair to take the pot, while Morkos quietly mucked his hand.
Huck Seed opened to 500 from under the gun before Andreas Putz three-bet to 1,600 next to act, and Seed called.
"First pot I raise all day and I get reraised," Seed joked, "We must both have aces."
On the Q♣J♣7♥ flop, Seed check-called a bet of 2,000 from Putz as Seed further commented, "Must be a chop."
Seed checked once more on the 5♠ turn before Putz placed out a bet of 6,000. Seed took some time before he put in a massive raise to 50,000, almost enough to put Putz all-in, but he laid it down after a short tank.
Edgaras Kausinis came in with a raise to 600 from the hijack before Jeff Sluzinski three-bet the button to 2,000. After the blinds folded, Kausinis decided he wanted to play for more as he four-bet to 6,000. Sluzinski mulled it over briefly, then five-bet it up to 14,200. Kausinis thought better of it and folded, allowing Sluzinski to drag in a healthy pot preflop.
Ahmed Edali bet 5,000 from the big blind on a board of 10♠J♥K♥J♠ and David Dauajare raised to 15,000 under the gun. Edali called, and the 7♣ fell on the river.
Dauajare then moved all in for 29,000.
"Man, oh man. I'm going to need three minutes," Edali sighed.
"We'll give you four," tablemate Zi Long Zhang replied.
"This is really, really sick. You seem comfortable," Edali said, spending several minutes muttering to himself the various possibilities of what Dauajare held. He eventually called.
"Ace-queen is no good," Zhang said to Edali, who indeed turned over A♠Q♣ for a straight. Dauajare could only show Q♠9♥ for a smaller straight as he wished the table luck before making his exit.
"I fold ace-queen on the turn there," Zhang added after the hand.
