Big O
Jonathan Glendinning made it 5,000 in the cutoff, seeing Jean-Robert Bellande call on the button and Yehuda Buchalter defend his big blind.
The trio checked through the 10♣J♠4♣ flop, prompting Buchalter to lead out with a pot-sized bet of 18,000 on the 2♥ turn. Both opponents called to the Q♥ river, which Buchalter checked.
Glendinning then bet 20,000, and Bellande called after some thought. Buchalter weighed his options as well, but ultimately folded. Glendinning tabled A♥K♣5♠4♥3♥ for the nuts, and Bellande's cards ended in the muck.
On the next deal, Buchalter got his last 13,000 in from the small blind against Nick Guagenti under the gun.
Yehuda Buchalter: A♠J♦9♠7♥2♠
Nick Guagenti: A♦A♣K♥J♥5♣
"I wanted to play cash today anyway," Buchalter said upon seeing Guagenti's aces. The Q♠8♣8♠3♦K♣ runout ensured he could head to the cash game area, as Guagenti's aces and eights were awarded the pot.
