A player in early position raised to 1,025, and a player in middle position called. Noah Schwartz was in the big blind and three-bet to 3,000, and the initial raiser moved all in for about 11,000. The middle-position player folded, and Schwartz turned over 
while calling instantly.
His opponent was the player at risk with 
and needed one of two nines in the deck to improve against his aces.
The board ran out 
, and Schwartz locked up the pot while sending his opponent to the rail.
As he stacked his chips, he had a quick word with David Williams, talking about how he got one-outed in the $25,000 Pot-Limit Omaha event when he held aces and was cracked by ace-queen. Williams shared a similar story, shook his head, and went back to his seat.

James Hughes finished in second place in Event #37: $1,000 No-Limit Hold'Em for $180,919 and is back in the saddle in this event to try and top that result before the World Series of Poker is over.
With about 2,500 in the pot already, on a board reading 
, Hughes checked from the big blind, as did the player under the gun. A player in early position bet 1,700, and Hughes moved all in for 7,525. The under-the-gun player called, and the early-position player put his hands in the air in shock, wondering what was happening. Eventually, he folded.
Hughes was at risk with 
for two pair, while his opponent tabled 
for top pair and a flush draw. The turn was the 
, and the river was the 
, giving Hughes the double-up he was looking for.

With about 4,300 in the pot already, on a board reading 
, Paul Volpe bet 2,700 from the big blind. A player in early position called, and the river was the . Volpe thought for about a minute, counted out his stack, and fired out a bet of 5,200. His opponent thought for a long while before releasing his hand.
Volpe is fresh off of a final table performance in the $50,000 Poker Players Championship, coming in sixth place for a nice payout worth $220,111. Look for him to continue grinding on his way to snagging what would be a third-career bracelet.
