Stud Hi-Lo
Cary Katz was all in and at risk against Steve Billirakis.
Katz made trip kings with K♣K♠K♥3♣10♥, but Billirakis had A♦10♦J♦9♦2♦ showing for a flush. "Come on, I can't even win with trip kings," Katz said.
Billirakis ended up with A♣J♠. "That's my card," Katz joked as he added Billirakis' jack to his J♥, and he eventually flipped over the 5♣ on seventh and headed to the rail.
"Maximum torture," tablemate Bryn Kenney said.
2-7 Triple Draw
Heads up to the first draw, Patrick Leonard drew two cards under the gun, and Todd Brunson took one card in the hijack. Leonard then check-called a bet by Brunson before the same number of cards was taken on the second draw.
Leonard checked again, and Brunson bet. Leonard called to the final draw, where the duo took one card each. Brunson completed his triple-barrel after Leonard checked, receiving a fold for his efforts.
No-Limit Hold'em
Simultaneously, at another table, big blind Jerry Wong pushed all in on a completed board of 8♥K♦J♣4♦6♥. Hijack Matthew Schreiber had been put at risk for his stack of 75,000, which he called off after some thought.
Wong showed a rivered pair with 7♠6♣, but it was not enough as Schreiber tabled K♣9♥ for top pair, doubling his 75,000 as well as taking the 110,000 in the middle.
"Don't they know I'm a calling station, Racener?" Schreiber asked John Racener, also present at the table, while he dragged the chips.
2-7 Triple Draw
The action was caught on the final draw, where both players patted. Huabao Chen then added a bet to the sizable pot from the big blind. Patrick Leonard thought for a while on the button before he called.
Chen tabled 7x6x5x3x2x, and Leonard mucked his cards as he was left with less than a big bet.

2-7 Triple Draw
Todd Brunson bet from the big blind after the first draw. Naoya Kihara raised, and Brunson called before drawing one card.
Kihara remained pat, bet, and saw Brunson check-call. The same drawing action occurred on the final draw, after which Brunson check-folded to Kihara's all-in of 11,000.
On the next deal, Kihara was in the big blind and defended when Marco Johnson raised in the hijack. Both players drew two cards, after which Kihara check-called a bet by Johnson. He then tossed one card, seeing his opponent remain pat.
Kihara check-called another bet by Johnson before requesting one fresh card on the final draw. Johnson remained pat, and Kihara check-folded to Johnson's final barrel.

No-Limit Hold'em
Nick Marchington and Benny Glaser were heads-up on a board of 2♠J♦7♦J♣6♥ and around 70,000 in the pot when Marchington bet 39,000 from the button. Glaser then raised to 100,000 in the big blind, and Marchington moved all in for 230,000.
Glaser spent several minutes considering the decision until eventually calling, and Marchington turned over 7♥7♣ for a full house to win the massive pot and earn the double-up.
No-Limit Hold'em
Thomas Taylor moved all in for 56,000 from the cutoff and Roscoe Light called in the small blind.
Thomas Taylor: A♣10♠
Roscoe Light: A♦A♠
Taylor had run right into Light's aces and found no help on the 5♣3♦5♥ flop. The 10♦ turn gave him a glimmer of hope, and he spiked the 10♥ on the river to make a full house and earn the double-up.
Omaha Hi-Lo
Ray Dehkharghani raised under the gun. Dylan Linde three-bet in the hijack, but big blind Maksim Pisarenko had not noticed and wanted to call Dehkharghani's raise.
The dealer then informed him that the 20,000 was already committed to the pot, so Pisarenko decided to call the three-bet as well. Dehkharghani also called, after which the trio checked through the 9♣10♣10♠ flop.
Pisarenko checked again on the 4♠ turn, prompting Dehkharghani to bet. Linde quickly folded before Pisarenko snap-raised.
Dehkharghani spent about a minute in the tank before he mucked, forfeiting the pot to his neighbor.
