The board ran out and Mooney headed to the cashier.

In a battle of the blinds, Javier Zarco raised and Alex Grocott then three-bet to 29,000 out of the big blind. Zarco jammed and was snap-called to put both players on hold while the other tables finished their action. "You got aces? Because I have one of them," Zarco asked his table neighbor.

It was Aido's versus Smith's . The flop gave Aido a flush draw, the turn made him a pair, and the river gave him a flush.
