On fourth street, Benny Glaser, Thomas Taylor, and Nicholas Marchington each put in three bets. It then checked to Marchington on fifth street, who bet. Glaser and Taylor both called, and Glaser checked again on sixth street.

Taylor then led out with a bet, which Marchington raised. Glaser spent a while in the tank before he folded, but Taylor called and check-called again on seventh street.

Marchington tabled a flush and a low, but Taylor had a higher flush to take half of the pot.

"Why did you raise?" Glaser wondered as the chips were chopped.

"I'm just a beginner," Marchington defended himself.

The flop came 8♥6♥Q♥ and Baker bet 20,000. Vitch called to create a side pot, and they both checked the Q♠ turn.

Vitch then bet 85,000 on the 10♥ river, and Baker folded. "I got it," Vitch told Germaine, turning over A♦Q♦10♠7♣ for a full house.

"Jack-nine," Germaine said, briefly fooling the table into thinking he had a straight flush when he showed J♥J♦9♦8♠ before heading to the exit.

Katz was ahead with his set, while Obst had a pair and flush draw. The 2♣ gave Obst additional outs with the nut flush draw and a straight draw, but Katz held on through the 4♥ river to secure the double up.

Nick Guagenti was among the latest players sent to the rail, with the dealer shouting out "payout" as Guagenti left the table.

"Nick, be sure to collect your zero dollars and zero cents," David Baker teased from another table.
