Under the gun opened the action with a raise to 1,000. Rene Lazaro called from early position before the button three-bet to 4,100. Both under the gun and Lazaro called.
Action checked through on 7♠J♥3♦ before Lazaro fired 4,000 on the 5♠ turn. Both opponents made the call.
Action checked through on the 3♠ river and Lazaro showed 9♠9♥ for the winner. Under the gun rolled over 4♦4♣ before releasing his hand.
Maximilien Marcel was seen dragging in a sizable pot after having eliminated his opponent with a flopped flush.
With cards still face up at showdown and the board reading 4♦7♦A♦7♣6♠, Marcel tabled 9♦10♦ while his opponent had 7♥8♥ for trips.
Action went four ways to a flop of 10♦2♣2♥ with about 4,000 in the pot. The players in the blinds checked, middle position bet 2,200, Gino Gallego called in the cutoff, and the blinds folded.
On the J♣ turn, middle position check-called a bet of 4,500 from Gallego.
The river brought the J♦ and middle position checked again. Gallego fired out a bet of 7,400, prompting middle position to go into the tank, before eventually folding.
Early position limped in for 500 before the hijack bumped it up to 2,000. Dario Drenzi wanted to play for more and three-bet to 6,000 from the button. Only the hijack called.
Drenzi continued for 6,000 on 8♦7♦6♥ and his opponent called.
Drenzi wagered 6,000 again on the 2♠ turn and the hijack called once more.
Action went check-check on the J♦ river and Drenzi turned over A♥A♠ for the winner. His opponent flipped over 5♥5♣ before mucking.
Action folded around to the cutoff who raised to 1,100. Joe Ramirez called from the button and the big blind completed.
Three ways to a A♦J♠9♠ flop, action checked to Ramirez who fired 3,000. Both his opponents called.
When checked to on the K♣ turn, Ramirez moved all in for 15,300. Without much hesitation, both opponents mucked and Ramirez chipped up without having to see a river.
With three players seeing a board of Q♠5♥J♠ and around 100,000 in the middle, a player in the hijack was all in and up against both John Kipfer in middle position who covered him and a player in early position who covered both players.
Hijack: A♠4♠ 
John Kipfer: Q♦J♣
Early Position: 5♠5♦
All three players caught a big piece of the flop. The covering player was ahead with bottom set and remained so on the 9♥ turn. The Q♣ gave Kipfer queens full of jacks to send one of his opponents to the rail and scoop a massive early pot.
Nick Guagenti is also seated at this table and is off to a good start with a stack worth over 150 big blinds.
