Chip Counts
Julian Segura open-jammed in the cutoff for 575,000 and Kevin Kent called in the small blind with the covering stack.
Julian Segura: A♣Q♠
Kevin Kent: K♠K♦
The flop came J♣2♥3♦ with Kent's kings still in the lead. The 8♥ turn and 10♥ river offered no help to Segura, who was sent to the payout desk.
David Mclaughlin open-shoved in middle position for 200,000 and was called by Chisa Matsutani in the small blind, who covered.
David Mclaughlin: K♠K♥
Chisa Matsutani: A♣A♦
The Q♥A♥2♣6♦6♥ runout offered no help to Mclaughlin, who was sent to the payout desk.
Action picked up on the flop of A♠8♥Q♥ in a hand between the under-the-gun Dustin Nelson and Daniel Craig in late position.
With 325,000 in the middle, Nelson bet 125,000 with A♣J♣ and Craig called holding J♦10♦.
The turn landed the 10♣ and Nelson continued with a bet of 225,000. Craig called again.
The river landed the 8♦ and Nelson moved all in for 430,000 to put himself at risk. Craig thought for a moment before making the fold.
Alex Kim opened to 120,000 from early position and A.J. Allee raised to 310,000 from the small blind. Kim asked how much Allee had behind, and Allee replied he was just shy of two million and Kim called.
The 9♠8♠6♦ flop saw Allee quickly check-call a 250,000 bet by Kim to see the 5♦ turn.
Both checked to see the Q♦ river and Allee checked again. Kim bet 850,000 which sent Allee into a small tank. After around a minute and a half, Allee opted to muck. One player at the table asked him to confirm what he had said after mucking, asking, "folded kings?"
Francois Billard raised to 100,000 in early position with A♣5♣ and Irene Carey defended in the big blind with 10♣8♣.
The flop came 3♠8♥4♠ and Carey check-called a bet of 90,000 from Billard, bringing the J♥ turn.
Carey check-called again, this time for 350,000, and the 10♦ fell on the river, giving Carey two pair.
She led out for 775,000 and Billard tossed his cards into the muck.
Ronnie Day was under the gun and ended up getting it all in preflop for 910,000 against Thai Ha in the cutoff, who covered.
Ronnie Day: 8♠8♦
Thai Ha: A♦K♦
Ha pulled ahead on the K♣10♦6♠ flop, pairing his king. Day picked up a gutshot on the 9♦ turn, and got there on the 7♠ river to stay alive.
There was already 500,000 in the pot when this hand was picked up on a board that read Q♦3♦8♠6♣. Victor Paredes checked from the big blind before Matthew Mcewan put out a bet of 460,000. Paredes made the call.
The K♠ river came down before Paredes checked. Mcewan put out a stack of blue chips that was enough to put Paredes all-in. Paredes gave it some thought before he folded to award the pot to Mcewan.
Mohammad Habib Nia raised to 100,000 in the hijack and Mark Newhouse defended in the big blind.
The flop came 8♠10♦6♣ and Newhouse checked. Habib Nia bet 100,000 and Newhouse bumped it up to 250,000. Habib Nia then reraised all in for 860,000 total and Newhouse quickly called.
Mohammad Habib Nia: K♣K♦
Mark Newhouse: 9♦7♥
The 10♣ turn offered a glimmer of hope for Habib Nia, but the 9♥ river sent him to the exit.
The under-the-gun Mark Newhouse and Kevin Palmer in the small blind went heads-up to a flop of 9♣2♦8♦ where both players checked to the 7♦ turn.
Palmer bet 150,000 with 7♥7♣ for a set of sevens and Newhouse called with A♦Q♣ for the nut flush draw.
The river landed the 3♦, giving Newhouse the flush, and Palmer led out with a bet of 200,000. Newhouse raised to 550,000, resulting in a quick fold from Palmer.
