Martens:
The board gave the German a set and he knocked out the ever-so-dangerous Pateychuk.
It was a back-to-back story between Noomis Jones and Kevin Saul. Jones raised to 12,000 from the cutoff and Saul as well as one other player called behind him to see the flop. The action checked to Jones and he bet 33,000, Saul put him all in and the third player involved folded.
Jones sat back in agony, pondering about his decision and Saul started chatting with him. "I'd hate to bust you. You got Aces? You know, I was rooting for you the whole time, you came back from 6,000. Let's make a deal, you let me win this one and I let you win the next hand."
It was then when Jones eventually called and turned over the . Saul flipped over and got there right away with the turn. The river was already meaningless and Jones headed to the payout desk.
PJ Cha repotted the action preflop and got the remainder of his stack in for about 50,000 with . Stewart Yancik made the call with the and improved on the board. Yancik is now above average on the last four tables.

We didn't catch Vincent Moscati's card suits, but he was drawing very slim on the flop. Moscati held without spades and got called by AP Phahurat with the .
Both the turn and the river didn't provide any excitement for the short-stack and Phahurat is even more among the big stacks.
Raj Vohra raised from early position to 9,500 and the player on the cutoff called, Derek Miller called as well and thus defended his big blind. On the flop, he check-called the 12,500 bet of the player on the cutoff and then led for slightly more than 20,000 on the turn to rake in the pot without showdown.
Next to him, Gabriel Nassif has doubled up his stack within the last half an hour and isn't below average anymore.
A player in Seat 2 opened to 8,000 and Kevin Saul called. Millard Hale raised pot, leaving himself with a single T500 chip behind. The player in Seat 2 re-raised all in himself for 45,500 total. Kevin Saul now had a dilemma and he started talking to himself.
"I like to gamble."
"Four cards. Anything can happen."
"And if I lose we're going on dinner break in 13 minutes and I won't tilt it off."
Saul talked himself into calling and said "I have the worst of it" as the hands were revealed:
Saul:
Seat 2:
Hale:
The flop came giving Hale top set along with the royal flush draw. Saul had an open-ended straight draw for chop potential. The turn was the which gave Saul a few outs to smaller straight. The river was the giving Hale a royal flush, the player in Seat 2 won the small side pot, and Saul was glad that dinner break was coming soon.
