Both players wished each other well, but Lady Luck smiled down upon Fuchs as she held to double following the K♠Q♦6♣3♥2♦ runout.

No-Limit Hold’em: 8,000-16,000, 24,000 Ante

Pot-Limit Omaha

The hand was picked up with Matthew Beinner moving all in for 82,000 chips from the big blind.

Nacho Barbero four-bet the pot to 278,0000. Woody Deck, who was in the small blind, made the call.

When the flop hit 9♦8♦4♣, Deck rushed to get his all-in shove into the pot. Barbero almost beat him to it with the call.

Matthew Beinner: XxXxXxXx All in
Nacho Barbero: A♦10♥10♠4♦ All in
Woody Deck: Q♥J♥10♦9♣

Barbero and Deck showed for the side pot, with Deck having a pair of nines and multiple straight draws, and Barbero having a pair of tens and an ace-high flush draw.

The turn brought the 3♥, but the 7♠ river delivered on Deck's straight, giving him the huge side pot.

Beinner quickly mucked his hand when he saw Deck's straight.

Matthew Beinner: A♠K♠9♣9♥

The 4♦5♦8♦4♥3♠ runout was as safe as can be for Barbero, as he doubled up to leave Beinner with crumbs.

Hal Rotholz limped in from the small blind and called when Dylan Smith made it 40,000 from the big blind.

Rotholz check-called bets of 25,000 and 60,000 on the flop and turn, for the final board to read 4♣4♦3♠2♦7♥.

After a long tank that went well into the break, Rotholz fired out 115,000, leaving 62,000 behind.

"I had such a good hand," said Smith, as he agonized over the spot.

Riffling chips in both of his hands, Smith ended up flicking in a call.

Rotholz had a bluff with 9♥5♥, and Smith showed down Q♦Q♥ and took in the pot.

On both of the remaining draw rounds, Mullins took one, while Schreiber stood pat.

Joshua Mullins: 8x7x3x2x All in
Matthew Schreiber: 8x5x4x3x2x

Mullins was drawing stone dead, as he got needled by the deck pulling a 5x to make a no good eight-seven.

Action checked through to showdown, and Chanthabouasy's 9x7x6x5x2x was good for the pot.
