It checked to Hubbard who bet 600,000. Smith put in the call and Paul let his hand go. Hubbard had a pair of eights as Smith tabled Qx8x7x6x5x to collect the pot.
Gabriel Paul raised to 175,000 from the cutoff and it was folded to Dylan Smith, who annonced he was all in from the small blind. Timothy Wong called all in for his last 400,000 from the big blind and Paul called all in as well for approximately 1,500,000.

Dylan Smith: 8x7x3x2x
Wong was already drawing dead against Paul's pat nine and turned over KxJx. However, Smith was drawing live to an eight for the double knockout.

Anthony Lamps opened to 150,000 from the cutoff before Stephen Hubbard three-bet to 550,000 from the small blind. With the action back on Lamps, he jammed for around 2,900,000. Hubbard took some time before he put in a stack to call as the covering stack.
