Katie Kopp, the reigning champion, was in the middle of doubling up on a board of K♣7♦10♣K♥J♦. She was showing K♦J♠ and her opponent's hand had already found the muck.
Kopp let the PokerNews team know she had gone all-in preflop and had been called by 8x6x.
The under-the-gun player opened to 1,500 and got five callers before seeing a flop of 8♦9♦3♦. Action checked around the table bringing the A♣ out on the turn.
Rachel Kay Miller opted to lead out from the big blind with a bet of 6,000. Action folded to the cutoff who raised all in for 12,000 total before seeing the small blind also go all in.
Miller was covered and called off quickly, turning over Q♦10♦ for a flopped flush. The small blind held A♦Xx for top pair with the nut flush draw.
The 2♣ river changed nothing and gave Miller the pot worth well over a double up.
Play has been paused briefly for a moment of silence and to show a video tribute in honor of Doyle Brunson, who passed away earlier this month.
With 10,000 chips already in the pot, the board read 7♦7♣Q♣3♣5♥.
Victoria Luna checked from the small blind. Her opponent in the big blind decided to bet 4,000 for Luna to respond with a raise to 10,000. Her opponent snap-called but mucked as Luna tabled the 7♠7♥ for quads and the pot.

Action folded to Darren Correa on the button and he raised to 1,300 and the big blind called. Both players saw the flop of 10♠2♠9♣. The big blind checked and Correa continued with a bet of 1,100, which the big blind called quickly.
The turn brought the K♥ and both players checked through. The river completed the board with the 4♦ and the big blind led for 5,000, which Correa again called.
The big blind tabled 5♠5♣ and Correa showed K♣6♠ to win the pot with his turned pair of kings.
Before Level 6 has even been reached, last year's entry total of 832 has been surpassed, with the tournament clock currently showing 841 entries.
Registration and reentry are open until the start of Level 10, at approximately 6 p.m. local time, following the dinner break.
In a heads-up pot on a board of 10♣J♣4♥5♠, the small blind led for 5,000. John "BetOnDrew" Gonzalez raised all in for about 19,000 total, sending the small blind into the tank for about a minute before calling.
Gonzalez turned over Q♥Q♦ while the small blind player showed the A♠J♠. The 5♦ river card was safe for Gonzalez and he got a full double-up during his first orbit at the table.
Duc Lai raised to 1,600 in late position and got a call from Katie Kopp in the big blind.
On the 3♦8♣2♥ flop, Kopp checked to Lai who bet 3,000. Kopp quickly folded her hand, then told PokerNews, "I'll win some pots later."
