Matthew Sprengel limped from late position, Nicholas Gonzalez was on the button, and bet pot for 280,000. Sprengel four-bet pot for 560,000, and Gonzalez moved all in for the rest of his chips, 1,480,000, and Sprengel called.
Nicholas Gonzalez: A♦A♣9♠5♣
Matthew Sprengel: K♣K♥J♠6♥
The board came out with 2♥10♥K♦Q♦8♥, and Sprengel ended up with the best hand, a flush, and won a small $500 bounty.
Action folded around to Jeffrey Trudeau, who made up from the small blind, only for James Cheung to bet pot from the big blind. This then prompted Trudeau to three-bet pot, and both players were putting in 700,000 pre-flop.
The flop came 9♥6♥J♥ and both players checked to see the J♠ peel off on the turn, and again the action went check-check as it did on the 7♥ river.
"Straight" announced Cheung as he tabled 10♠8♣7♣6♦ and Trudeau tossed his cards into the muck after flashing A♦A♠XxXx
Jose Ramos opened to 160,000 and got three callers in Quan Tran, Jerome Dumayet in small blind and Nick Guagenti in the big blind.
The flop came down 4♠J♥7♥ and all players checked. On the turn 10♣, Guagenti shoved all-in for 200,000 and only Tran called.
Nick Guagenti: 10♠10♥7♦2♠
Quan Tran: K♣9♥8♣5♥
Guagenti was ahead on the flop with his pocket tens but caught a set on the turn. On the other, Tran who had a double belly straight draw completed his straight pushing him in front, potentially eliminating Guagenti from the tournament. The board paired with the 4♣ reverting the lead back to Guagenti with a full house.
Guagenti scooped the pot for a double, happy to continue his tournament run.
Jack Moore opened to 225,000 and was called by William Smith in the blinds.
Both checked on the J♥6♣10♣ flop and a 6♥ paired the board on the turn. This time Smith led out for 250,000 and received a call from Moore.
The 4♥ fell on the river and Smith checked. Moore tanked a minute and bet 400,000. After some thinking, Smith raised it to 1,100,000. Moore looked at his cards once more and mucked his hand.
In a heads-up raised pot, the flop 9♣J♣Q♦ was dealt and both Michael McNicholas and Andrew Yee checked. On the A♠ turn, McNicholas bet 650,000 and Yee quickly called.
The river was the 9♦, and McNicholas checked. Yee quickly announced pot, which was 1,930,000, and McNicholas didn't take long to fold, revealing Q♣10♣.
