Chris Moorman: Q♦Q♠
Uri Kadosh: A♣J♥
Moorman was looking for a double-up and he found it after his pocket queens held up on the 2♠2♣9♥K♦6♥ runout.
Action was picked up on the turn with a board of 3♣J♠5♠J♥ when Erick Lindgren bet 15,000 from the cutoff and his opponent on the button called.
The river fell 4♥ and Lindgren was slow to assemble a large wager of 65,000 which his opponent called instantly.
Lindgren rolled over J♣J♦ revealing quads. The button player mucked, saying, "Wow. Sick river."
Hermilo Garzavillareal raised 6,000 at the cutoff position, and then the player on the button three-bet all in.
After the players in the blinds folded, Garzavillareal asked for a count and the dealer confirmed his opponent had 67,000.
Garzavillareal, who covered his opponent, then made the call.
Opponent: A♣J♥
Hermilo Garzavillareal: A♦Q♣
The dealer fanned 4♦5♠Q♠ on the flop, giving Garzavillareal top pair with top kicker. The K♠ appeared on the turn, giving Garzavillareal’s opponent a gut-shot straight draw.
The 7♥ on the river gave Garzavillareal the win and a knockout.
Matthew Davis shoved for 32,500 preflop and was put at risk by Michael Perrone on the button.
Matthew Davis: 10♥10♦
Michael Perrone: 5♠5♣
Davis flopped a gutshot, turned a straight, and rivered a Royal Flush on the A♦Q♦K♥J♦K♦ runout which gave him the best possible hand in poker.
Action was picked up on the turn with a board of 8♠2♠9♦Q♣ when Franck Makaci bet 13,000 from the small blind and Matthew Davis called from the big blind.
The river 9♣ saw Makaci bet again to the tune of 12,000 and Davis went deep into the tank, counting his chips before folding.
Makaci comforted Davis by saying, "Good river, my friend. Good river."
James Chen has had a very hot start to the day and that scorching streak would only continue when he had the chance to take out an at risk opponent.
At risk player: 10♥10♣
James Chen: A♦K♦
The flop came 5♣A♥2♥ to send Chen ahead. The turn was the 6♥ and the river the 5♦ to bust the at risk player and give Chen another boost to his catapulting stack.
"Running hot!" said tablemate Chris Hunichen as Chen raked in the chips.
