Cards were tabled in a hand against Christopher Stephan and Robert Yass on a board that read K♣8♥6♣4♠Q♥, with Stephan tabling A♥A♠J♠4♦ for one pair of aces and an eighty-six low with ace four, and Yass showing A♣6♣3♥4♥ for two pair an eighty-six low with ace three, sending Stephan's aces down in flames.
Jay Kerbel was once again scooped by Sam Farha when he called bets by his table neighbour on the 4♦3♦2♣3♠10♠ board.
Farha tabled the A♥J♥5♥2♠ for the wheel and that won the next pot.
David Williams and Jason Daly then chopped the invested chips by Zachary Freeman when one bet each went in after the A♣K♠5♥K♣8♥ river. Daly tabled the K♦J♦10♥9♦ for trips kings while Williams revealed A♦J♠4♣3♠ for the second nut low.
Williams scooped a smaller pot against Freeman after, who dropped to two full bets.
Aaron Kupin raised from under the gun and Zachary Freeman made it three bets from one seat over. Jason Daly called on the button, as did Kupin. On the K♦10♣7♠ flop, all three players checked and that led them to the K♥ on the turn. Kupin now bet and Freeman quickly folded.
Daly gave it some consideration and came to the sam conclusion.
John Hennigan defended out of the blinds to then check-call three bets on the A♦A♠6♦2♠8♣ board against James Chen. The latter rolled over the A♣7♣6♠5♥ for trips aces and a live seven, which won the entire pot as Hennigan tossed his cards into the muck.
Three ways to the K♥9♦3♥2♥ turn, Jay Kerbel bet in the small blind and was called by Kyle Cartwright in the big blind while Christopher Stephan also stuck around. Kerbel checked the 3♣ river and Cartwright bet. Stephan folded and Kerbel sigh-called to get shown the 9♥6♣5♣3♦ for treys full of nines by Cartwright, which won the pot.
"Nice catch ... I had ace, deuce, four, five," Stephan mentioned in the table chat.
"I had the best hand, two pair," Cartwright joked back.
Zachary Freeman doubled through David Williams before James Chen took a small pot off Bryce Yockey on a board of J♥9♥5♠6♦K♥ when Yockey check-folded to a bet on the river.
Luis Velador then lost a chunk of his early profit to Robert Yass, who bet the turn and river of a Q♥6♦5♣10♠3♦ board. Velador called the turn but folded to a bet on the river.
Christopher Stephan raised from the small blind and Robert Yass called from the big blind.
The two players took a flop heads-up of A♣K♣8♦ and Yass check-called a bet from Stephan. The dealer peeled 2♦ on turn and things became a little more interesting, as this time Yass raised a bet from Stephan, which Stephan called.
Both players would check the 9♠ river and Stephan tabled A♠6♥5♠3♥ for a pair of aces and fifty-three low, and Yass showed 9♣5♦5♥3♦ for a pair of nines and the same fifty-three low, giving away three-quarters of the pot to Stephan.
David Williams raised it up and was called only by Zachary Freeman in the small blind. They checked the K♣8♥6♦ flop and that brought them to the 6♠ turn. Freeman checked and Williams bet, sending his opponent into the tank.
Freeman ultimately folded and dropped to a mere four bets.
Christopher Stephan arrived late and had lost the small blind big blind. He then ended up all-in and at risk against Luis Velador on the A♦J♣8♥ flop.
Christopher Stephan: A♥A♣10♥3♣
Luis Velador: 9♦8♠5♦2♥
The 6♣ turn and 4♣ river ensured the split pot. Stephan then chopped up again and made a small profit on the day so far.
Three way action saw Sam Farha, start-of-the-day chip leader Jay Kerbel and Damjan Radanov involved in the action with Farha as the aggressor, betting each street of the A♣J♣5♥K♦3♠ board. Radanov ended up all-in with his short stack while Kerbel folded on the river to another bet by Farha.
"You got nut nut?" Radanov inquired and Farha indeed rolled over the Q♥10♦4♦2♥ for broadway and the nut low. Radanov sighed, double-checked his cards once more and then tossed them into the muck.
"I got fucked," he grinned while checking the payouts as he bowed out on a pay jump in 21st place for $17,923.
