On a 7♦5♥4♥2♠ board one player checked and Sergio Barrios bet 7,000. Angel Scicchitano called, as did Tom Hulley, with the original player folding.
The river was the 4♦ and gradually all three players checked.
Barrios was first to show, turning over 9♥8♥ for a missed flush draw and nine high. Then it was Scicchitano's turn, tabling J♦6♦ for a missed straight draw and jack high.
Triumphantly, Hulley slammed 3♦3♣ on the table to win the pot.
"I was going to bluff," said Hulley.
"No need," said tablemate Nathan Glase.
"Checked back with the best hand," said Hulley. "I know exactly where I was."
Zelig Otter had a decent stack yesterday but was eliminated by eventual end-of-day chip leader Sayed Jabbour. He's sitting with close to 200,000 chips today and opened to 4,000 with calls from Meng Guangrui, Nicholas Cooper and Bert Perry.
The flop came A♣K♠3♣. It checked to Otter who continued for 7,000. Guangrui was the only caller.
The pair checked down the 4♠Q♣ runout.
"Queen," announced Otter, with Guangrui showing A♠9♦ and taking down the pot with top pair.
After an open to 5,000, Yuanting Wang three-bet all in from the button for 35,000. Daniel Klinger was in the small blind and four-bet all in for over 150,000. The big blind and original raiser both folded and the cards were turned over.
Yuanting Wang: J♥9♠
Daniel Klinger: A♣Q♥
The Q♣3♦2♦ didn't exactly help Wang who was already getting to his feet. The turn 9♥ offered him the chance of salvation, but the river 3♥ sent him to the rail.
