Action picked up on fifth with several bets already in the middle as Racener checked with the highest board to Ausmus who bet before Brannan called and Racener got out of the way.

Brannan check-called on sixth and he checked again on seventh before Ausmus put out a final bet. Brannan went deep into the tank as he contemplated and he ultimately flicked in the call after over two minutes. He got the bad news immediately as Ausmus tabled A♥A♣3♣ in the hole for a pair of aces the number two low which scooped as Brannan quickly mucked.

Pot-Limit Omaha

Gabriel Ramos opened the hijack to 4,000 before Robert Wells potted to 13,500 from the small blind and Ramos called.

On the A♠9♦6♠ flop, Wells potted for 30,000, Ramos jammed for 31,000, and Wells put in the last 1,000.

Gabriel Ramos: A♥K♣4♣3♥ All in
Robert Wells: A♦K♦Q♠J♦

Both players flopped top pair with a king kicker, but Wells had the higher side cards. The 8♣ turn gave Wells a gutshot but a chop was still likely until the 4♦ river gave Ramos two pair and he collected the full double.

Dzmitry Urbanovich raised to 4,000 on the button, and Vanessa Selbst made the call in the big blind. Both players saw the Q♥Q♦9♥ flop and checked.

The dealer flipped over the 8♣ turn, where Selbst check-called a bet of 3,500 from Urbanovich. Another pair of checks followed the 7♦ river, with Selbst showing K♥10♦.

Urbanovich tabled 6♥6♦ for two pair, good enough to take down the pot.
