From under the gun, Joe Hachem raised to 5,000. Play folded to Antonino Venneri in the small blind and he reraised all in for 23,700. After getting a count and thinking for a moment or two, Hachem made the call.
Hachem turned up the 
and Venneri the 
. "Really?" said Hachem when he was he was dominated.
The flop, turn and river ran out in Hachem's favor, though, as the 
came to give him a full house. Venneri was eliminated and Hachem climbed to 175,000 in chips.
Antonino Venneri raised to 6,000 from middle position, Josh Brikis three-bet to 16,000 from the big blind, and Venneri four-bet to 32,000. Brikis moved all in for 102,600, and Venneri called.

Under the gun Justin Conley raised to 4,500 and Markus Gonsalves three-bet from the big blind to 13,000. Conley put in a four-bet to 25,000, after which Gonsalves five-bet to 53,000.

The board ran out 
, and Gonsalves doubled up. Conley is knocked down to 230,000, but he still has plenty of chips to work with.
Michael Benvenuti and Nick Rampone were heads up on a board of 
. There was about 70,000 in the middle, and Benvenuti was the first to act. He tanked for a bit, then plopped 43,800 in front of him.
It was Rampone's turn to sink into the tank, and he began studying both the board and Benvenuti, who was staring at a single spot in front of him. Eventually, Rampone mucked, and he asked Benvenuti to show one card.
"Show the right one," he suggested.
Bevenuti turned over the 
, to the surprise of tablemate Marvin Rettenmaier.
"You had a pair???" he blurted aloud, grinning.
Benvenuti chuckled as he pulled in the pot.
It's bad. Paul Berende just got rivered in a massive pot, and he's far from happy. We just heard how, after a raise to 4,000 and a call, he three-bet to 12,900 with pocket kings. The first player folded, but the second moved all in for 88,000.
Berende snap-called this shove and was up against pocket sixes. The river brought out another six, and Berend got knocked down to 60,000 chips. He's back to the drawing board.
