Jared Hyman raised in early position before he was three-bet by David "ODB" Baker in middle position. When it folded to the big blind Xiaochuan Zhang, he made the call. Hyman then went all in for last 41,000.
With three players in the hand and Hyman all in, the flop came 10♦2♣Q♠. Zhang checked to Baker who bet. Zhang quickly folded to leave the two players heads up.
Jared Hyman: A♣J♥
David "ODB" Baker: 6♠6♦
Baker was ahead with his pair of sixes, but would need to fade an ace, king or jack to eliminate Hyman. When the board ran out 10♠ on the turn, and 3♥ on the river meant Baker's sixes were still best, and Hyman was eliminated in 16th place.
Action folded to Paul Campbell on the button, who made the call. Arash Ghaneian was forced all in from the small blind for 5,000 after losing majority of his stack the hand prior. Travis Trail in the big blind checked his option.
Trail and Campbell checked the J♣J♠9♠ flop, J♦ turn, and 10♣ river.
At showdown Campbell tabled A♣Q♥9♣6♥ for two pair jacks and nines. Trail and Ghaneian were not able to beat the two pair of Campbell, and Ghaneian was eliminated in 17th place.
David "ODB" Baker completed with a 10♦ up and Xiaochuan Zhang called with a 6♣ up.
David "ODB" Baker: XxXx/10♦J♦J♣3♣/Xx
Xiaochuan Zhang: XxXx/6♣7♥9♥8♣/Xx
Baker bet on fourth and fifth street with Zhang calling both times.
On sixth street Baker checked over to Zhang who checked back, prompting Baker to bet on seventh street and Zhang called.
"Full house," said Baker as he tabled A♠J♥10♣ for jacks full of tens. Zhang tapped the table and mucked his hand while Baker got an early boost to his stack.
