Jeffrey Kimber opened to 40,000 from under the gun. When action folded around Kip Deloria in the big blind called.
The flop came 8♦8♥10♥ and action went check,check.
On the turn A♥, Deloria shot out 60,000 and Kimber called to see the next street.
Deloria fired 100,000 on the river 8♠ and Kimber called once again.
Deloria tabled K♥Q♠ for a busted straight draw prompting Kimber to show 10♠10♠ for a full house on the flop.
Scott Davis raised to 55,000 from the hijack. Lock Nguyen called from right next to him in the cutoff.
James McGonagle three-bet to 155,000 on the button. Davis folded. Nguyen called.
When the flop hit 3♥5♣9♥, Nguyen checked. McGonagle moved all in.
Nguyen made the call.
James McGonagle: J♦J♣
Lock Nguyen: 10♥8♥
McGonagle was in decent shape with the overpair to the board and his hand got better with a set on the turn of the J♠.
But the river told another story, as Nguyen's flush came in with the 4♥.
Several hands occurred prior to the shove. Renato Puertas García raised from early position to 115,000, and William Patterson three-bet to 400,000 from the cutoff. Garcia thought for a while and then folded 9♠9♣ face up. Patterson, one of the chip leaders, showed A♣K♦.
On the other hand, Timothy Frasure moved all in from early position for 600,000, and everyone folded. Frasure stated, "I had the same hand as you," speaking to Patterson, and flipped over A♠K♠
Larry Broers shoved in the following hand; Gary Benson raised from the button to 60,000, and Broers three-bet all in for 180,000. Benson called.
Larry Broers: Q♠10♥
Gary Benson: 9♥9♦
The board had many ups and downs with 3♥9♠8♠10♠J♦, as Benson hit a set, then Broers hit a straight on the river.
One of the players offered some sage advice: "Don't get it in ahead."
Christopher Bell in middle position opened for 55,000 and Rambo Halpern called on the button.
The flop came 7♠3♦6♣ and both players checked all the way through the 2♣ turn.
On the river J♥, Bell checked and Halpern fired 35,000. Bell thought about it for a few seconds before calling just to muck his hand after seeing Halpern's Q♣J♠.
Peter Kamaras raised to 40,000 from the button. David Ramirez moved all in from the small blind with some 250,000 chips.
Yossi Maymon called. Kamaras folded.
David Ramirez: A♠10♥
Yossi Maymon: A♦A♣
Ramirez was in trouble and though the full runout of 8♦9♥3♦J♦J♠ teased him with an open-ended straight draw on the turn, he couldn't crack the aces.
Sridhar Sangannagari opened to 45,000 on the button. Da Lu then moved all in for 465,000 from the big blind, and Sangannagari had a think about his options. Eventually, he put in the call.
Da Lu: A♠10♠
Sridhar Sangannagari: 6♠6♥
It was a flip, and Sangannagari kept the lead on the K♠3♦8♣ flop, until the A♣ turn gave his the opponent the best hand, as he was demoted to just two outs. The 4♦ river secured Lu's double, as he sat back down in his chair.
The hand was joined just as Renato Puertas Garcia pushed his 125,000-chip stack all in from the small blind.
William Patterson and James Traber each called.
The flop hit J♠7♦2♠. Patterson bet 25,000. Traber folded.
Renato Puertas Garcia: 10♦10♠
William Patterson: K♠J♥
Patterson had the lead with a pair of jacks on the flop, and the K♥ on the turn gave him two pair, but the 10♣ on the river was just what Garcia needed. Trips took the hand.
Craig Koblis moved all in with is last 45,000 chips from the small blind. Bao Dao, in the big blind, tossed in the call.
Craig Koblis: K♦Q♥
Bao Dao: 3♦2♣
Dao paired his three on the flop and it looked like Koblis was headed home, but in the full runout 3♣8♦10♦8♣K♥, Koblis spiked a king on the river to double-up.
