Shortly after the previous chop, Yass was all-in for 320,000 preflop and looked up by the run-away chip leader Ben Lamb.

Robert Yass: A♦7♠3♦3♣
Ben Lamb: A♣Q♣7♣6♠

The J♥9♣8♠ flop was bad news for Yass while the 5♥ turn locked up half the pot already. Yass then missed the low draw with the K♦ and bowed out in fifth place.

The action started with a raise by James Chen and Brad Ruben called in the cutoff, as did Luis Velador. Once Ben Lamb called in the big blind, Velador joked "oh no, not that guy again" and Lamb replied "I probably gonna buy it" before they headed to the A♦K♥3♦ flop.

Lamb bet and that forced out Chen while Ruben then opted to raise. Velador got out of the way and Lamb inquired how much Ruben had behind before he called.

"You got four?!" Lamb asked once more and Ruben nodded when they were on the 2♣ turn. Lamb then bet, Ruben got it in and was snapped off.

Brad Ruben: A♠7♦2♠2♦
Ben Lamb: A♥Q♥5♦4♠

Lamb had hit gin on the turn with the wheel and nut low but wasn't secured the entire pot yet against a set and flush draw. However, the J♥ river was a brick and that knocked out Ruben in sixth place in the last hand before the first break.

Down to the last 275,000, Robert Yass got it in from under the gun as Luis Velador reluctantly got along with it from the big blind.

Robert Yass: A♣9♠7♥2♦
Luis Velador: 8♠8♣6♥2♥

The board ran out A♦Q♣6♠3♣5♦ and Yass earned three quarters.

One hand later, they got it in again but this time with multi-street action until the 8♦6♦6♣7♠ turn.

Robert Yass: A♥A♦8♥7♦
Luis Velador: 10♥9♦5♣3♥

The 6♠ river gave Velador a low and Yass a full house as they chopped it up.

Action opened with a middle position raise from Erik Seidel, a call from Luis Velador on the button and a call from Ben Lamb in the big blind.

Lamb lead out into both players on a 10♣J♦5♥ flop and continued the pressure on the 7♣ turn, getting calls from both Seidel and Velador.

Undeterred, Lamb bet once more on the K♠ river and this time both Seidel and Velador folded. Prompting Lamb to quip, "What a great day to be alive," as he stacked up his nearly seven million chips.

Robert Yass raised and called a three-bet by Ben Lamb, which led them to the Q♥8♣7♥ flop. Yass check-called a bet and did so again on the 9♠ turn to have five bets behind to the 10♥ river. This time, both checked and Lamb won the pot with the A♥A♦Q♣8♠.

Yass briefly inquired if Lamb would have called a bet, to which the chip leader seemingly nodded and added "I had the ace of hearts".
