Vang Gets There Against Morris

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante
Paul Vang
Paul Vang

Paul Vang started the bidding with an open to 3,000 on the button. Thomas Morris was in the mood to put more chips in the pot as he chose to three-bet to 10,000 from the big blind. Vang did not take it lying down as he chose to four-bet all-in for 26,200. Morris quickly called to put Vang at risk.

Paul Vang: AKAll in
Thomas Morris: KK

Vang was in trouble as he was directly drawing to an ace as they went to a runout. Morris was poised for a knockout with his cowboys.

The 5A4 flop was a beauty for Vang as he flopped a flush draw to go with his outs to an ace.

Vang would discover even more outs on the 10 turn as he gained a gutshot straight draw with the river to come.

The J was one of Vang's outs as he managed to evade the knockout and score a double-up instead against Morris.

Workman Chips Up

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante
Noah Workman
Noah Workman

Noah Workman began the action with a raise to 1,200 from early position. Brandon Feria chose to three-bet to 3,200 from the hijack before Workman made the call.

The 8107 flop led to a check from Workman. Feria continued for 2,500, and Workman called.

Both players checked the 8 turn to usher in the 10 river.

Workman took the initiative with a bet of 7,000 on fifth street. Feria mulled it over, but he opted to fold as Workman took down the pot.

Ace-Queen Brings Nothing But Pain for Reid

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Terrance Reid
Terrance Reid

Terrance Reid had a rough couple of hands with ace-queen that led to an early exit for the former RGPS Main Event Champion.

The first hand took place when Hamid Izadi opened to 800 from middle position before Reid three-bet to 2,400 from the cutoff. Jacob Blackketter made the call on the button and Izadi also called.

The flop came AQ9 before Izadi led for 4,500. Reid raised to 11,500 in response, which led to a fold from Blackketter. Izadi was not having it and shipped it for 33,000. Reid called to put Izadi at risk.

Hamid Izadi: A6All in
Terrance Reid: AQ

The 5 turn was a disaster as Izadi hit a flush as the 4 river completed the board to award the pot to Izadi.

A couple of hands later, Reid shoved for his remaining 4,800 from under the gun. Shane Miller made the call to put Reid at risk.

Terrance Reid: AQAll in
Shane Miller: 88

Reid once again had ace-queen, but was at risk this time.

The flop was good one for Reid when it came QJ10 to give him a pair of queens and the better flush draw.

The Q upgraded Reid to trips, and it appeared as if Reid was well on his way to a double-up.

The river would disappoint when it came the 9 to give Miller a straight and elimiante Ried.

To Gets Paid by Danon

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

This hand was picked up on the river of a board that read K92K2.

Ben Danon checked before Hoang To shipped it for 30,000 even from the cutoff. Danon snap-called to put To at risk.

To showed K9 for a full house of kings full of nines. It was a good thing for To that he had the nine because Danon tabled KQ for an inferior full house of kings full of deuces as To secured the full double on the river.

Elkins Shuts it Down on Turn

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Aaron Amator opened to 1,100 from early position. Christopher Elkins joined with a call on the button, and Aaron Overton made the call out of the small blind.

The A86 flop led to a check from Overton. Amator continued for 1,700 and was only called by Elkins.

Amator checked the Q turn before Elkins threw out a bet of 2,100. Amator waved the white flag as he folded to yield the pot to Elkins.

Danon Shows Carillo the Early Exit

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Ben Danon got the action started with an open from early position, but he met resistance from Nathan Carillo from the big blind when Carillo three-bet to 3,200. Danon four-bet to 7,600 in response, but Carillo was not to be outdone, and he five-bet to 16,500.

Danon made the call and sent them to a flop of A2Q. Carillo went all-in for 21,500 and was called by Ben Danon to go to a showdown with Carillo at risk.

Nathan Carillo: AKAll in
Ben Danon: QQ

Carillo hit his ace, but it was far behind the set of queens of Danon as they went to the final two cards.

The 10 introduced a sweat as Carillo could hit a jack for a straight to sink Danon.

Carillo's hopes of a suckout were not meant to be as the 10 came on the river to give Danon a full house.
