Brian Arbaugh

Brian Arbaugh and Seun Oluwole were heads-up on a board of J♣3♥A♣8♠ when Arbaugh bet 200,000 from early position. Seun Oluwole then moved all in from the big blind and Arbaugh snap-called.

Seun Oluwole: A♦8♦ All in
Brian Arbaugh: A♥J♥

Oluwole had flopped two pair, but Arbaugh had a higher two pair on the flop and held on the K♣ river to secure the pot. The stacks were counted down and Arbaugh had 800,000 remaining. Oluwole was barely covered and threw the rest of his chips into the middle of the table before heading for the exit.

Liubomyr Melnyk decided to go all-in from the button for his final 190,000 and was called by Serhii Popovych in the big blind to go to a showdown with Melnyk at risk.

Liubomyr Melnyk: J♥10♥All in
Serhii Popovych: K♦K♣

Popvych held a commanding lead as they headed to the runout, but the 7♥8♠3♥ flop gave Melnyk plenty to work with as they went to the final two streets.

The 6♣ kept Popvych in the lead, but the 5♥ river resulted in a flush for Melnyk to crack Popvych's kings to stay in the tournament.

Corey Skogrand made it 60,000 to go from early position, and Greg Merson three-bet to 165,000 in the cutoff. When it got back to Skogrand, he shoved 405,000, and Merson quickly called.

Corey Skogrand: K♥K♦ All in
Greg Merson: J♦J♣

Skogrand was well ahead with his cowboys, and the flop of 10♣9♠4♣ kept him in the lead. Merson did turn a flush draw with the 5♣, but Skogrand survived as the 3♠ filled out the board.

After his table change, Luke Chung was rewarded a double-up while the dealer announced "we have a spill" as the drink of Paul Gibbons next to Chung had hit the carpet.

For Chung's double-up hand, it was also a dirty job as he cracked the pocket aces of Shaun O'Donnell who then busted shortly after. The cards of O'Donnell were already in the muck while he paid off 820,000 to Chung, who three-bet preflop and called the four-bet shove with K♣K♥.

On a board of K♦8♠5♣3♠Q♣, the pocket aces were cracked and Chung also mentioned in table chat after that he had done the exact same thing one day prior.

A completed board of K♦Q♠4♦9♠Q♥ was spread across the felt with around 600,000 in the middle already. Alon Shahar led out with a bet of 420,000 in middle position and Matt Affleck dipped into the think tank.

According to the TV crew, Affleck spent about five minutes in the tank before finally making the call. Shahar rolled over A♣Q♣ for trip queens and Affleck saw the majority of his stack slide across the table.

In a limped pot to the Q♥4♣A♠, Thomas Boivin bet 30,000 from the small blind, and Stephen Hesse called in the big blind. The 2♠ turn then checked through to the 9♠ river, which Boivin also checked.

Hesse fired 35,000, and Boivin put in a massive check-raise to 400,000, more than half his stack. After some minutes in the tank, Hesse called.

Boivin showed K♠5♠ for the nuts, and Hesse quickly tossed his Q♣J♦ in the muck, having called with second pair.

On a completed board of 4♠K♥2♦5♠K♦ and with approximately 600,000 in the pot, Rene-Charles Angelil checked from the big blind, and Jacob Lowery jammed for 500,000 from early position. Angelil got an exact count from the dealer and thought for a while before deciding on a call.

Loewry showed a busted flush draw with A♠10♠, and lost the pot to Angelil's K♠6♥ for trip kings. Loewry's Main Event came to an abrupt end, while Angelil increased his stack to 2,200,000.

Isaac Haxton was in middle position and raised to 60,000. It folded to Stephen Chidwick on the button, who jammed in his stack of 375,000. Small blind Jeremy Kottler thought for some time before he committed his stack of 335,000, and Haxton snap-called to put both players at risk.

Jeremy Kottler: A♥J♥ All in
Stephen Chidwick: 5♥5♦ All in
Isaac Haxton: K♦K♣

Haxton flopped top set on 3♥K♠6♥, but Kottler's flush draw completed on the 9♥ turn to take the lead. The 6♦ river paired the board, turning Haxton's set into a full house.

Chidwick and Kottler packed their bags as Haxton shipped the pot, chipping up to over 125 big blinds.

Chris Viox raised A♠7♦ to 60,000 from the hijack and Dmitrii Perfilev called holding Q♦10♦ on the button.

On the 5♦2♦6♠ flop, Viox check-called a bet of 75,000 from Perfilev to the 6♦ turn, where Viox checked again. Perfilev then bet 215,000, and Viox called.

A K♦ on the river saw Viox complete his smaller flush, and he checked it over. Perfilev then shoved, which put Viox to the test for his last 385,000. Viox sat back, cracked his knuckles, rechecked his cards, and then called.

"Nice hand," said Viox when he saw the bigger flush of Perfilev, then he made his way to the exit.
