Michael: 
Song: 
The flop was 
and what a crazy board to pop up with these two hands: quads for Michael and a boat for Song who was flopped dead. Joseph Michael immediately let out a giant, "Come on!" and came over to high five his friend, Jordan Holder on the rail who was shouting for a nine to come on the flop the whole time.

In the cutoff, Scott Stewart raised to 200,000 and Jonas Mackoff called out of the big blind. The Canadian checked the flop and Stewart continued for 175,000, which Mackoff called. On the turn, Mackoff checked again and Stewart's second barrel worth 280,000 claimed the pot uncontested.
Mackoff dropped to just shy of 11 big blinds as a result.
Richard Dubini limped in from the small blind, having just arrived at the table, and Artan Dedusha checked his option in the big blind. Dubini bet the 
for 100,000 and Dedusha called. Both then checked the turn and river. Dubini flashed 
for tens with an eight high and Dedusha won the pot with for queens and tens.

Stewart:
Blumstein:
The race was on, and Stewart liked the door card but not the that came after it. He said he wasn't a fan of the turn either, and the 
river meant he shipped over a double.
