John McAvoy, who has had an excellent couple levels, was found showing his opponents the K♦K♠ on a board reading 9♠K♥K♣4♦10♦ after no one called his bet. He mentioned he usually has trouble making a hand, but that doesn't seem to be the case today, as he moves up in the chip counts.
Following a late position raise, Sarah Salis moved all in from the small blind for 24,700. The original raiser called and Salis was at risk, but well ahead.
Sarah Salis: A♣A♠
Late Position: Q♦Q♣
The board came 6♣10♥6♦K♠5♣, giving Salis the win and boosting her single starting stack to over two.
Following an under-the-gun raise to 2,800, former event champion Chad Holloway three-bet to 8,000. A player in middle position cold-called the 8,000 and the original raiser jammed for 28,000. Holloway called off for 21,800 and the middle-position player called as well.
Chad Holloway: A♠A♥
Under the Gun: J♥J♣
Middle Position: A♣K♦
The board comes K♥3♠2♦5♠9♣ and Holloway's aces hold up to send him to dinner break with a triple-up and then some.
Action folded to the small blind who elected to raise 2,500 into Clint Robertson in the big blind. Robertson called to see a 10♦8♦K♥ flop and quickly saw the small blind lead for 2,500. Robertson, wasting little time, moved enough chips into the pot to put his opponent all in which was quickly met with a call from the small blind.
Small Blind: K♦6♦
Clint Robertson: K♣10♣
The A♠ turn and the 4♥ river offered no improvement for the all-in player and Robertson took down the pot.
Zakariya Mouhib and the big blind were all-in on the flop of 9♠8♣6♦, with Mouhib being the player at risk.
Zakariya Mouhib: Q♣Q♦
Big Blind: 9♥5♥
The turn was the A♥ and the river was the the inconsequential 2♦, securing the double for Mouhib.
PokerNews Podcast co-host Jesse Fullen has headed back to the registration desk for his second of two entries on the day, but shared his elimination details with the live reporting team.
As told by Fullen, he defended his big blind to a middle position raise and call from the small blind to see a flop of 10♠8♠4♠.
Action checked to the original raiser who bet 4,000 which only Fullen called.
On the 3♣ turn, Fullen check-raised a 6,000 chip bet for his entire 14,000 chip stack and got called.
Jesse Fullen: Q♦10♥
Middle Position: J♣J♦
Fullen's top pair needed help that didn't come on the 7♥ river and he's off to the desk for a fresh 25,000 chips.
Meanwhile co-hosts Chad Holloway and Connor Richards are also hovering around a starting stack size of about 20 big blinds.
Nível: 9
Blinds: 600/1,200
Ante: 1,200
A player in late position opened to 3,000. Action folded around to Leon Zhou in the big blind who put in calling chips to see a Q♣5♦7♣ flop. Zhou opted to check the flop to his opponent who continued with a bet of 4,000 only to see Zhou answer back with a check-raise to 14,000. After thinking for a couple of minutes, the late position player finally relented and tossed his cards toward the muck.
