Jacob Norman flagged down Pokernews to let us know about a big hand that occurred just before the break. The rest of the table was eager to corroborate the hand history.
Jacob Norman had Joshua Vallejo at risk, as both players got all in preflop.
Joshua Vallejo: A♣Q♣
Jacob Norman: A♦K♠
The flop should have given Vallejo quite the sweat, as he gained a flush draw and a straight draw on J♣10♣9x.
The turn was the 3♣, but it's presumed Vallejo only had eyes for his straight draw, as he grabbed his belongings and began to leave the table when a brick came on the river.
His table let him know that he had made the nut flush and Norman was left nursing a short stack.

This summer, hundreds of thousands of players will pass through the doors of the newly-renovated Horseshoe Las Vegas, formerly known as Bally’s. For the second year in a row, the venue will play host to the annual World Series of Poker (WSOP).
As players pack the casino for the 54th annual WSOP, many of them will saunter by a lavish steakhouse. For some, it’ll be just another restaurant, maybe one they’ll attend to celebrate a bracelet win, but for others, they’ll recognize the name on the sign, the man responsible for poker’s premier event – Jack Binion.
Now 86 years old, Binion is a titan of the gaming industry and the son of casino magnate Benny Binion. Together, they launched the WSOP back in 1970 at Binion’s Horseshoe in downtown Las Vegas. Over the next four decades, Jack Binion would go on to change not only the poker landscape but also the casino industry throughout the United States. Along the way, he was inducted into the Poker Hall of Fame and became an icon of the game.
Binion doesn’t relish the spotlight, so interviews with the born-and-raised Texan are few and far between. However, late last year he sat down with PokerNews for an intimate and in-depth conversation about his life in poker.

Action folded to Michael Gibbs in the cutoff who open-shoved 313,000. The button folded to Wade Warren in the small blind who called, prompting a fold from the big blind.
Michael Gibbs: J♦J♥
Wade Warren: AxKx
The flop of A♠7♣3♦ looked good for Warren, but the J♣ put Gibbs back in the lead. The inconsequential 2♠ fell on this river giving Gibbs the full double.
After the hand, a player at the other end of the table stated that he folded the J♠, so it looks like Gibbs turned his one and only out to give him a massive pot.

Benson Tam, the chip leader coming into Day 2, defended the big blind against the late position open of Mark Strodl.
Heads up, the players saw a flop of 6♠10♥6♥. Tam checked and Strodl checked behind.
The turn brought the 2♠ and Tam took the betting lead. Strodl then raised and Tam declared all-in. Strodl thought briefly before calling and putting himself at risk.
Mark Strodl: J♦10♦
Benson Tam: 9♠6♠
Benson was ahead with his flopped trips. Strodl was looking for a ten on the river, but it came the 9♣ instead, giving Tam a boat and the pot.

Ethan Siemiesz limped under the gun and called a raise to 45,000 from Brett Janiga in the small blind to see a flop of 2♦4♥8♥. Janiga quickly shoved and was met with a snap-call from Siemiesz.
Ethan Siemiesz: K♥Q♥
Brett Janiga: A♦4♦
Janiga's pair of fours was ahead with two cards to come, but needed to fade a lot of outs. The J♣ turn was safe but the 10♥ fell on the river giving Siemiesz a full double.
