Adrian "BoyOboy" Bertini raised to 2,000 from early position. "NBAyams" then reraised to 3,200 from middle position. Matthew ”Muckdat” McDowell, the hijack, tossed in a cold four-bet of 7,650. Action folded to "NBAyams" who moved all in for 52,337 total. McDowell made the call, and the cards were shown.
"NBAyams": K♦K♥
Matthew "Muckdat" McDowell: A♦A♥
McDowell's aces held throughout the 2♥8♣4♣4♠8♥, and he took down the pot of over 100,000 while eliminating his opponent.
Michael "BobMerwald" Bohmerwald raised to 1,200 from middle position, and was called by both Bryden "Baxcap" Baxter in the hijack and Cord "BodogAri" Garcia from the big blind.
The flop came 3♥J♦6♣. Action was checked to Bohmerwald, who bet 1,525. Baxter raised to 3,850, which led to Garcia folding. Bohmerwald made the call.
The turn was the A♣, and Bohmerwald checked. Baxter bet 5,150, and again Bohmerwald came along.
The river brought the 9♠. Baxter moved all in for 28,803, about 6,000 more than the pot. Bohmerwald thought for a bit before making the call.
Baxter showed 8♣8♠. Bohmerwald held A♥J♣, and his two pair was good.
John ”UndividedOne” Ripnick, the small blind, limped in. Mike "Mkspresident" Shin, the big blind, raised to 885 and was called.
The flop came K♣6♣7♠, and Ripnick checked. Shin bet 995, which was called.
Ripnick again checked the K♥ turn before calling Shin's bet of 2,693.
The river brought the 10♠, and Ripnick checked once more. Shin went all in, and Ripnick called all in for less. Ripnick showed K♦3♦ for trips, but Shin's 6♦6♥ had made sixes full, and Ripnick opted to rebuy.
Marek "CackAA" Pazowski raised to 240 from middle position. He was called by Boris "imallinman" Vaynberg from the hijack, Alex "OrcinusOrca" Foxen from the cutoff, Kyle "krmont22" Montgomery from the button, and "Sinjin22" from the big blind.
Action was five-way to the Q♠4♥K♠ flop. Action was checked to Pazowski, who bet 630. Only Foxen called.
The turn came 8♣, and Pazowski put out 1,680. Foxen moved all in, with Pazowski putting himself at risk by calling off his remaining 5,010.
Marek "CackAA" Pazowski: K♦9♦
Alex "OrcinusOrca" Foxen: K♥8♥
Foxen had hit two pair, and the 10♠ river did nothing to improve Pazowski's hand as he exited the tournament.
