Carl Brewington was all in for 3,500 from under the gun, Jessica Vierling called from early position, and Ashish Gupta called from the cutoff.
Joan Crespi was in the big blind and stated with a smile, "Sorry, I would like to play with everyone, but I am all in." Crespi moved in with 35,000. Everyone folded except Gupta.
Carl Brewington: K♣8♥
Joan Crespi: A♣9♠
Ashish Gupta: A♥7♠
The board was 5♠A♠5♦3♣Q♦. Brewington was eliminated. Crespi and Gupta chopped the pot with two pair and the queen.
Crespi laughed, "I am happy to chop with you."
Benoit Fiasson added 4,000 to the pot of 20,000 beside a Q♣4♣3♥ flop. His opponent, Christian Roberts, was considering his options for a few seconds, then raised to 14,000.
Fiasson looked at chips and slowly picked each one of them up and pushed them all in for around 60,000. Roberts instantly called.
Benoit Fiasson: K♣2♣
Christian Roberts: A♣8♣
Both players had flush draws, but Roberts was ahead with his ace-high. He hit the board with a pair when the turn fell A♥, cementing his lead.
The dealer completed the board with a 4♦ river, sending Fiasson to the rail.
Late registrant Brock Wilson in cutoff went all-in for 34,500 and got called by Darren Rabinowitz on the button, taking them to showdown.
Brock Wilson: A♥4♥
Darren Rabinowitz: J♥J♦
Wilson was rubbing the ace on the felt as the dealer fanned out 9♥K♣5♣. Still hoping for an ace to hit the board, the dealer peeled the 9♠ turn and a 7♦ river, which didn't improve his hand at all.
He left the table as Rabinowitz exclaimed, "Brock Wilson! Sent to the showers!"
Benoit Fiasson raised from the cutoff to 6,000. Todd Ivens called from the button, Christian Roberts called from the small blind, and Connor Belcher defended from the big blind. Everyone checked the flop of 9♠9♦7♣.
On the turn Q♦, Roberts bet 30,000, and Belcher moved all in for 36,000. Everyone else folded, and Roberts called, then Belcher saw the bad news.
Connor Belcher: J♠9♣
Christian Roberts: 7♠7♥
Belcher's trip nines were crushed by Roberts' flopped full house. The river 6♦ did not change the result, knocking out Belcher and giving Roberts a chip boost.
Play was already underway with a pot of 20,000 when the flop dropped 6♦A♦4♦. Srivinay Irrinki check-called Jesse Lonis' bet of 6,500 to see the turn.
The turn fell 6♥, and Irrinki did the same after Lonis' bet of 12,000.
With action passed to him for a third time, Lonis kept the pressure high with a 59,000 bet, sending Irrinki to the tank. After a few seconds of staring at Lonis, he surrendered his hand and the pot to Lonis.
In a blind on blind battle, Srivinay Irrinki moved all in from the small blind for 47,500 effective, and William Hesser called from the small blind.
William Hesser: A♥2♥
Srivinay Irrinki: A♠8♦
The board dropped with 10♥10♦3♦7♣8♥, and the top two pair won Irrinki a nice pot.
Level: 12
Blinds: 1,500/3,000
Ante: 3,000
Jean-Robert Bellande opened to 5,500 in the hijack, and Mario Boos in the cutoff raised him to 15,000. Bellande called, taking them to the flop.
The dealer fanned out 5♦5♣10♠, and both players tapped the table.
Bellande check-called Boos' 15,000 bet on the A♦ turn, leading them to the river Q♦, which they both checked.
Bellande showed 10♣8♣, which couldn't beat Boos' K♠K♥. Boos scooped the pot as Bellande checked his phone.
Dean Hutchinson raised from under the gun to 5,000, Anthony Ruberto called from the hijack, and Florian Duta three-bet all in for 50,000 effective. Hutchinson called, and Ruberto folded.
Dean Hutchinson: A♥K♥
Florian Duta: 10♠10♥
The board offered no help for Hutchinson with 5♠9♠7♦Q♥4♣, and a pair of tens won the flip.
