Jeremy Wien
Jeremy Wien

Robert Demille raised from under the gun to 2,000, Jeremy Wien called from the hijack, and Akash Patel three-bet all in for 14,600 from the button. Demille called, and Wien called.

Meanwhile, on the sidelines is Wien's support team: his wife, Sarah, who is wearing a shirt that says "I married into this," and a fluffy dog named Bruce.

On the flop 894, both Demille and Wien checked.

On the turn A, Demille checked and Wien bet 2,300. Demille folded.

Akash Patel: QQ All in
Jeremy Wien: A5

The river 10 did not change the outcome for Patel, and Wien won the pot with a pair of aces.

Demille stated, "I folded kings."

Nasreddine Survives a Flip With Saliba; Messner Drills the Flop to Bust Kohrs

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Diane Zimmerman raised to 2,000 in early position, and Vivian Saliba three-bet to 5,500 in middle position. Rania Nasreddine then moved all in for 13,700 in the cutoff, and Zimmerman folded, while Saliba called to put Nasreddine at risk.

Rania Nasreddine: AQ All in
Vivian Saliba: 1010

Nasreddine hit top pair on the A75 flop to take the lead, and the rest of the board ran out 9Q to give her two pair and the double-up.

At the same time at another table, Vitalijs Korhs was all in for 10,000 from the big blind and up against Kyle Messner under the gun.

Vitalijs Korhs: AK All in
Kyle Messner: QQ

It was a classic flip, but that changed quickly once the QQ9 flop gave Messner quads. "I didn't want it. I just wanted one," he said, and the rest of the board ran out 34 to send Korhs to the rail.

Eric Habrich
Eric Habrich

Eric Habrich was raking in a massive pot after doubling up through Naveen Sama, and the table helped fill in the details.

The flop came J92 and Sama checked to Habrich, who bet 12,000. Sama then raised to 37,000, and Habrich called.

The turn was the J and Habrich bet 30,000. Sama then moved all in, and Habrich called for 117,000. Sama showed AA, but Habrich had hit trips with AJ.

The river was the 4 and Habrich doubled up. Segoviano then told him he had folded king-jack, meaning Habrich had hit the last jack in the deck on the turn.
