Miles Ward raised to 4,000 in the small blind with the 6♦3♣ and Peter Bloch defended the big blind holding the K♦5♥. The Q♥9♣3♥ flop was checked and that led them to the 8♦ on the turn. Ward now bet 7,000 with his bottom pair and Bloch called.
On the 6♠ river, there were 24,000 in the middle and Ward bet 20,000. Bloch double-checked his cards and then raised big to 70,000 with his king-high air. Ward shook his head and called after only a few seconds of consideration.
Martin Blake went all in from the big blind against Mitchell Jacko on the button.
Martin Blake: A♣K♠
Mitchell Jacko: A♦A♥
The runout A♠10♠K♥4♥7♣ didn't change the initial ranking, with Jacko coming out on top with a set of aces to knock Blake off.
Justin Greenberg shoved for 15,500 from early position and Colin Phoenix made the call from the small blind to try and eliminate him.
Justin Greenberg: A♥2♦
Colin Phoenix: J♦J♠
Greenberg was looking for an ace to beat the pocket jacks of Phoenix, but the Q♦5♠3♣8♦Q♠ runout didn't contain one, which meant Greenberg was out, and Phoenix added some chips to his stack.
Jeremy Goldy pushed in his final 14,500 from middle position. It folded to Tom Fuchs, who wished his opponent good luck before calling.
Jeremy Goldy: 5♠5♣
Tom Fuchs: 4♠4♦
Goldy was in great shape to double up, and he remained so on the 2♠K♦8♣ flop and J♣ turn. The 4♥ river saw Fuchs hit his two-outer, however, sending Goldy to a sour exit.
In the last hand before the break, players were already three-ways on the K♦4♦5♦ flop, with Robert Elias sitting under the gun, Cliff Maloney on the button and Garret Reisz in the small blind. The pot stood at around 40,000.
Reisz bet 30,000 on the flop, and Elias moved all in for 110,000. Maloney folded and Reisz called.
Robert Elias: 8♦7♦
Garret Reisz: A♦A♠
Elias was ahead, having flopped the flush. There was no change on the J♥ turn or 9♥ river, and he secured himself a huge double-up.
Dustin Ethridge defended his big blind after Daniel Lowery raised to 5,000 in the hijack.
The flop rolled out 10♥8♥4♣ and Ethridge checked over to Lowery who bet 4,000 and Ethridge called.
Both players checked the turn 5♣ to the river 4♥ where Ethridge bet 8,500 to see Lowery quickly toss his hand into the muck.
After a check, Nathaniel Silver bet 6,000 on a flop of 10♠K♣5♦ and a pot of around 20,000. David Harmon, his heads-up opponent, called to see the turn.
The turn dropped 10♥ and both players tapped the felt. On the river 8♦, Harmon fired 20,000 making Silver think about his action.
After a few seconds Silver called then threw his hand to the muck pile after Harmon tabled J♠10♣ for trips on the turn.
Santhosh Suvarna opened to 4,000 with the 8♥8♣ and Tim Kovacic three-bet to 12,000 with the 10♣9♣ for Suvarna to call ahead of the A♥10♥7♥. Both players checked to see the A♦ on the turn and Suvarna bet 6,000 into 29,000, then called a raise to 18,000.
No further action followed on the 5♦ on the river and Kovacic won the pot soon after he was moved to the secondary feature table.
From early position, Vanessa Kade fired out a bet of 18,000 on the 8♣K♥9♠A♠ board. Antonios Onoufriou, who was seated in the hijack, thought for a while before jamming for roughly 58,000. Kade immediately called.
Antonios Onoufriou: 8♦8♠
Vanessa Kade: A♥9♥
Kade immediately saw the bad news as she had two pair against the bottom set of Onoufriou. Kade was unable to boat up on the J♠ river, and Onoufriou doubled up.
