Konstas then checked the K♠ turn. Ausmus bet 40,000 and Konstas called.

Jeremy Ausmus: A♥A♦

Konstas flopped two pair to crack the aces of Ausmus and got full value as he secured the double while earning some dubious looks from his table.

Stud Hi-Lo

Sean Troha: 9♥2♦ / Q♠3♦K♥9♠ / Xx All in
Todd Brunson: Q♥Q♣ / A♦7♠5♥4♥ / Xx
Brian Yoon: XxXx / 5♣Q♦ - folded on fourth street

Troha was forced all-in for 3,000 with his ante. Brunson completed and Yoon defended his bring-in. Yoon folded to a bet on fourth.

Brunson was well ahead with queens. Troha paired his nine on sixth before Brunson peeled the 4♣ on seventh to make two pair. Troha needed a king or nine to survive as all the queens were dead. Unfortunately for him, he peeled the 2♠ to make a lesser two pair and he was eliminated on the stone bubble.

John Racener completed with his ace before James Obst raised with an ace of his own.

"I'm not folding this hand," Racener told the table, sticking in the last of his stack.

The hand appeared headed for a chop before Obst caught two high cards while Racener made trips. Obst picked up a low draw on sixth, but bricked on seventh as Racener gained the full double-up.

Brad Ruben opened the button, Kahle Burns three-bet from the small blind, Ruben put in a four-bet, and Burns called as the pot had already grown to over 200,000.

The 6♦3♠3♣ flop checked through to the J♦ turn which saw Burns check-call a bet of 68,000 from Ruben.

On the 6♣ river, Burns opted to lead for 40,000 and Ruben put in the call after some deliberation. Burns tabled K♣J♣ for the winner as Ruben mucked and Burns collected a huge one.
