Phil Ivey raised to 6,000 from under the gun and was called by the player in the hijack. Max Steinberg called from the big blind and the flop came down .
Ivey continued for 15,000, both opponents called, and the turn fell. Ivey bet 40,000 this time and only Steinberg called to see the river. Both checked, Ivey tabled for top two pair, and Steinberg mucked.
Steinberg doubled up Olaoluwa Okelola at his table for about 70,000 a few hands later to slip even further.
A player opened from under the gun to 5,000. A few seats over another player reraised to 12,700. Next to act Dick van Luijk reraised to 25,000.
"I know it's against my strategy, but I'm going to try it," Van Luijk said about his cold four-bet.
Action folded around to the original raiser, who also folded. The three-bettor called though and he took to a flop with van Luijk.
The dealer put down the flop and the player checked to van Luijk who put out a bet of 25,000. The player called.
The turn was the and the player check-called another 25,000 chip bet from van Luijk.
On the river, the player check-called a third 25,000 chip bet from van Luijk. Van Luijk showed for a pair of kings with the pair of fours on the board. The other player chucked his cards into the muck and van Luijk was able to take down the pot.
Christopher Lindh raised to 4,800, and Freddy Deeb shoved all in. Lindh asked for an exact count, and after a minute of sorting his chips, Deeb told him it was 74,200. Lindh and Deeb have clashes several times today, starting at the very beginning of the day. After thinking for a minute, Lindh called, and the players turned up their cards:
Deeb:
Lindh:
The flop came , no help to either player. The turn was the , and the river was the , giving Lindh and unnecessary set and the pot.
After the hand, Lindh was up to 315,000, and Freddy Deeb made his way to the exit.
We walked into the middle of a monster pot between Theo Jorgensen and an opponent on a completed board of . There was about 110,000 in the middle, and Jorgesen checked it to his opponent, who thought for about a minute before assembling a bet of 68,000. He slid it into the middle, and Jorgesen only had time to take a deep break before he quickly tossed in a chip to make the call.
His opponent said "nice call," but neither player showed their hand. In this situation, the player who was called must show first, and he eventually announced "pair of tens." Jorgensen showed for a low flush, and it was good enough to secure the massive pot. After winning that one, he is up to 474,000.
The table folded around to Guillaume Rivet on the button, who bet out 5,000. He was called by the player on the small blind, before both saw the flop come down . River threw out a continuation bet of 6,000 after his opponent checked, before both checked the on the turn.
The river brought the , and the player in the small blind quickly reached for chips. He bet out 15,000, and after a short pause, Rivet called. His opponent rolled over his for two pair with a king kicker, before Rivet tabled his for a full house.
Several players tapped the table after the hand, including his opponent, as he moves up to 580,000 in chips.
We walked up to Table 371 in the Amazon room to see Alban Juen re-shove all-in for 18,100 after one player had already moved all in for 7,100. Two other players called Juen's bet, and the Frenchman was at risk with a chance to more than triple up.
The flop rolled out and the first player to act bet 17,000. The other player in the side pot folded, and the hands were revealed. Juen was in bad shape with his against pocket sevens and the short stack's , but the on the turn shot him out of his seat as he realized he had taken the lead. The on the river changed nothing, and Juen did some celebrating before returning to his seat to stack his 65,000 in chips.
A huge three-way preflop all-in hand just happened over at Table 383 in the Amazon Room.
By the time the betting had completed before the flop, a short-stacked player was all in for his last 35,000 or so with , Jonathan Tamayo was also all in for 177,500 with , and Bryce Yockey was there as well having both of his opponents covered and holding .
The dealer burned a card and spread the flop , giving the short-stacked player a set and causing him to yell "Hold!" repeatedly while the remaining community cards were delivered.
The turn brought the , and the set of fours were still best, with Yockey still standing to earn a big side pot and knock out Tamayo. Then came the river… the ! A better set for Tamayo! The short-stacked player let out a groan before departing, and Yockey also expressed frustration at seeing both of his opponents hit sets while missing out on a huge pot.
Tamayo, meanwhile, sat back in his chair with his baseball cap over his face, no doubt hiding a huge expression of relief at having his tourney life saved by that river two-outer.
Following a raise under the gun to 5,200, Phil Galfond made the call from a few seats over as the button came along also. With the action on the big blind, he made it 21,500 to force the initial raiser out before Galfond pushed all in for 57,100.
