Badeucey
On the button, Mike Gorodinsky had gone all in, and Philip Sternheimer under the gun and Jesse Lonis in the hijack had created a side pot of 5,400.
The trio had arrived to the second draw, where they each drew two cards. Sternheimer and Lonis then checked. On the final draw, Sternheimer and Gorodinsky each took one card, with Lonis still needing two.
Sternheimer then bet, and Lonis folded his hand after some time in the tank. Sternheimer showed 10♦7♠4♠3♣2♥ for a ten-low and a ten-badugi. Gorodinsky's cards were only briefly flashed before they were added to the muck, and he said his goodbyes to the table.

At another table, Allan Le has kept climbing and currently sits with around 220,000, much to the consternation of table neighbor Mike Matusow. "Allan has won more pots in the time I've been at this table than I've won in the entire World Series," Matusow said.
"Maybe you should learn how to be as good as Allan," Esther Taylor told him.

Big O
With 11,200 in the pot, small blind Tobias Leknes checked the 4♥5♥4♦ flop to Duane Fontenot in the big blind. Fontenot tossed in a bet of 10,000, which Jeremy Trojand called on the button. Leknes got out of the way, and the K♠ was placed as the turn.
Fontenot quickly announced a pot-sized bet of 31,200. Trojand pushed in more calling chips, revealing the 3♠ river. Fontenot instantly announced his all-in for 54,300. Trojand mulled it over for 30 seconds or so before he called.
Fontenot showed 10♣7♥6♠5♦5♣ for fives full of fours and a seven-low. Trojand briefly tabled his cards, but they were not good enough to receive either half of the pot and were added to the muck.
