Michael Trivett was all-in before the first draw in the final hand before the break and he received two callers in Amnon Filippi as well as Trivett, who created a side pot. Trivett drew two new cards while his opponents took one each and Eichhorn check-called a bet by Filippi.
On the second draw they each took one and Eichhorn check-called another call before he took one. Filippi patted while Eichhorn took one and Trivett took two. They checked and Eichhorn flashed a 10x7x5x3x2x. Filippi had that beat with the 9x8x6x5x2x and Trivett first showed his 5x4x3x. He peeled the 6x first to have quite a few outs but the Ax was not among them.
Jim Collopy: 3♦2♥ / 7♠8♥6♠4♣ / A♣
Michael Dreese: A♦7♥ / 3♠9♦5♦10♣ / K♠
Michael Dreese was all-in on fifth street against Jim Collopy and both were going for the low portion. Neither hit any pair and Dreese received a king on seventh as they examined their boards. "You win with ace-king?" Collopy asked with a smirk on the face and Dreese smiled back, concluding the hand with a "this is a fuckin stupid game".
The board area was already mashed together and Luis Concha has a nine-high straight with which he won the hand to beat Ozea Ingram. For the latter, a 8♣7♣Q♠J♠8♦A♥J♣ board for two pair was not good enough to knock out Ingram not far away from the money bubble.
