Hersh Mahajan opened 400,000 in early position and Wendy Nguyen jammed for 1,150,000 next to act. The action folded back around to Mahajan and he dropped a chip across the line to make the call.
Wendy Nguyen: J♦J♣
Hersh Mahajan: 10♥10♣
"Good playing with you guys," Said Nguyen as the cards were turned face up.
The dealer fanned a flop of 10♠7♥6♥ bringing her thoughts to life. The 5♠ turn and 2♦ river were no help as she headed to the payout desk.
Michael Emanuelson jammed for 2,150,000 from the cutoff and Jason Saylor called off his last 1,250,000 from the big blind.
Jason Saylor: A♦10♣
Michael Emanuelson: A♥5♥
Saylor had Emanuelson dominated but the J♣6♦5♣ flop left him drawing thin as Emanuelson made a pair of fives. The 7♠ turn and 7♣ river were no help, sending him to the payout desk.
Iman Alsaden shoved her last 90,000 from early position and Tolga Gesli called in the big blind.
Iman Alsaden: Q♥10♥
Tolga Gesli: K♦Q♣
Alsaden was dominated but the 9♥5♦3♥ flop gave her a flush draw. The J♦ gave her some extra outs with an open-ended straight draw but the Q♠ river meant she was headed to the payout desk.
