Hand #70: Reginald Hampton raised to 85,000 from under the gun before Michael Gathy moved all in from the cutoff and got no action.

Hand #71: Thomas Reynolds raised to 80,000 from the cutoff and Hampton defended his big blind. The flop came {k-Spades}{9-Clubs}{2-Clubs} and Hampton check-folded to a bet of 100,000 from Reynolds.

Hand #72: Hampton limped in from the small blind and Chris Johnson checked his option. The flop came {a-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{8-Spades}, Hampton led out for 60,000, and Johnson open-folded {7-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}. "I was hoping you'd bet so I could fold," he laughed.

Hand #73: Gathy raised to 90,000 from under the gun and everyone mucked.

Hand #74: Action folded to Vlad Darie in the small blind and he raised to 320,000. Gathy moved all in for 735,000 and Darie called for 515,000 total.

Darie tabled {a-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}, at risk against Gathy's {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}. The flop came {6-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{4-Hearts} and the rail behind Darie erupted when they saw he flopped a straight draw. The turn was the {8-Hearts} and they cheered even louder when he turned his straight. There were three hearts on board though, and he had to dodge another, but the {3-Clubs} hit the river and Darie doubled through.
