The under-the-gun player raised to 180,000, the action folded around to George Ramirez on the button, and he jammed for 560,000. The blinds got out of the way and the under-the-gun player snap called while rolling his hand face up.
George Ramirez: A♦Q♥
Under-The-Gun Player: K♣J♣
Ramirez was in the lead and the A♣10♥6♥ flop gave him top pair. "Not a queen again," cried Ramirez as he stood up from the table.
However, the queen never came to give his opponent a straight as the board completed with the 9♣ on the turn and the 9♠ on the river.

WSOP bracelet winner Jeremy Wien had 775,000 to start Level 27, leaving him with less than 10 big blinds.
He found a spot to go all in at the cutoff position, but things got interesting when the player in small blind, who had Wien covered, re-raised all in. The big blind mucked his hand and the cards were tabled.
Wien: K♦8♣
Opponent: Q♠Q♦
Wien remained behind when the dealer fanned 9♦2♣10♠ on the flop, and then he took the lead when K♠ appeared on the turn. He still had to sweat the river but was safe from being sent to the rail when 9♣ hit the board.

Andrew Dudley raised to 220,000 on the button and James Burgin defended the big blind.
The dealer fanned a flop of 8♣3♣2♠, and both players quickly checked to the A♣ turn.
Burgin led out for 200,000 and Dudley raised 650,000. Burgin gave it a few moments of thought and made the call.
When the 6♦ landed on the river, Burgin checked and Dudley announced a bet of 1,000,000. Burgin's cards instantly shot into the muck and Dudley couldn't wait to slam his K♥5♠ face up on the table.
"I don't usually do that," claimed Dudley. "I usually fold ace-queen suited."

Four-time WSOP bracelet Farzad Bonyadi was involved in heavy action, which included a three bet, against an opponent in the small blind before the dealer placed cards on the board.
Bonyadi made the call to bring action to the flop, which produced 4♥7♣10♥. His opponent, who had Bonyadi covered, moved all in and Bonyadi immediately called.
Bonyadi: 7♣7♥
Opponent: K♣K♥
Bonyadi had his opponent crushed with middle set, and the A♥ on the turn didn’t help the opponent, who needed one of the two remaining kings to hit a bigger set.
The 7♠ hit the river, giving Bonyadi quads and a 3,500,000 pot.

Jefferson Guerrero raised to 210,000 in early position and the table folded around to the big blind who was all-in for 50,000.
Big Blind: Q♥Q♦
Jefferson Guerrero: 7♥7♣
The big blind woke up with a monster but the A♦7♠5♠ flop was a disaster for him as Guerrero flopped a set of sevens. The 5♠ turn and 2♣ river changed nothing as Guerrero sent him to the payout desk.
