Sriharsha Doddapaneni was first to act and raised to 16,000 finding Jack Sinclair in middle position who called.
The flop came 9♦J♥A♣. Doddapaneni check-called a bet of 16,000 from Sinclair.
The turn came the 5♥ and again Doddapaneni checked. Sinclair bet out 80,000 this time, almost a pot-sized bet, to which Doddapaneni raised all in over the top. Sinclair snap folded and Doddapaneni claimed this pot.

The action started with Chris Brewer opening in early position to 15,000. Aaron Mermelstein then called on the button before Christoph Vogelsang in the small blind put out enough chips to put all remaining players all in.
Out of nowhere, WPT champion, Eliot Hudon went all in from the big blind for less.
Brewer got out of the way and action was back on Mermelstein from the button. He thought through his options but it seemed that the bounties were too enticing as he flicked in a call.
The cards hit their backs.
Eliot Hudon: A♥J♥
Aaron Mermelstein: 4♣4♥
Christoph Vogelsang: A♠9♠
The board ran out 3♣7♦K♣8♥10♣ and Mermelstein scored the knockout, Hudon's bounty, and a pile of chips from Vogelsang.
