With an already big pot brewing to the J♠9♣6♦10♦ turn, Thomas Pomponio bet 22,000 into around 27,000. Sean McDonald went into the tank and called for most of his stack behind. Pomponio then bet 25,000 on the 6♣ river, and McDonald called to get shown the J♣J♥ for jacks full, flashing his A♣A♥ before heading to the rail.
"Easy game," Humberto Brenes chimed in with a smile on his face.
With 4,500 chips in the pot on a flop of 6♦8♥2♦, the big blind checked, early position bet 2,200, Johnny Woolen called, and Jacob Long called. When it got back to the big blind, he made it 6,600, which early position and Woolen called. Long then back raised to 19,000, which got the big blind and early position to fold, but Woolen called.
A J♥ hit the turn and after Woolen checked, Long shoved for 40,100. Woolen went into the tank but eventually laid down his hand.
Long tabled 2♠2♣ for bottom set.
Action went three-ways to the flop of 4♦Q♥A♥ in a hand between Nicholas Rigby in the small blind, Carlotta Ceccatelli in the big blind, and the player in middle position.
Rigby and Ceccatelli checked, and middle position bet 1,400. Rigby and Ceccatelli both continued to the Q♠ turn.
Rigby checked and Ceccatelli bet 2,600, prompting folds from both middle position and Rigby, to take down the pot.
A player opened to 1,000 from under the gun and was called in four spots, including Dylan Weisman in the small blind.
The Q♠6♦5♦ flop checked through.
On the 7♣ turn, Weisman led for 2,200 and was only called by the player in middle position.
The 5♥ peeled off on the river. Weisman led again for 5,000 and the middle position player went into the tank. After some deliberation, he reluctantly tossed in a chip to call.
Dylan Weisman: 4♥4♦
Middle Position: 4♠4♣
The table laughed as the dealer chopped up the pot.
A player opened to 1,000 from middle position before Ashley Frank three-bet to 2,800 on the button. A player in the big blind then cold four-bet to 7,000, getting a quick fold from the original raiser. Frank flatted to see a flop.
The flop came 7♥5♦5♣, prompting the big blind to continue for 2,000. Frank responded by moving almost her entire stack into the middle and was met by a swift fold from her opponent to take down a healthy pot that sees her rise back up towards starting stack.
The action was caught on a completed board of A♣9♠10♠8♣A♠. Paul Volpe checked in the hijack before Lawrence Ma made a bet of 17,000 chips into the pot of 42,000.
Volpe tanked for a while before folding, leaving himself with over half a starting stack. Meanwhile, the 100 big blind pot was shipped to Ma.
Nuno Mafra opened 900 in the hijack and both the small blind and Joon Yi in the big blind made the call.
All three players checked to the 8♣5♠4♠3♦ turn, where the small blind checked once again and Yi fired 2,000. That was enough to earn the pot as both Mafra and the small blind mucked their hands.
