Harrison Gimbel and Leon Sturm were heads up on a runout showing 10♦2♠Q♦K♥J♠. Gimbel checked from the small blind, calling immediately when Sturm moved all in.
Harrison Gimbel: A♦6♦
Leon Sturm: J♦10♣
Gimbel showed his ace-high straight to take down the pot and double his stack.
Chris Moneymaker min-raised to16,000 with the A♣5♥ on the button and Dominik Nitsche defended the big blind with the J♣9♠. Both checked the A♥Q♥8♦ flop and Nitsche bet 66,000 on the 10♣ turn. That was for more than the pot and Moneymaker gave it some thought before folding.
Liran Betito opened from early position to 17,000, and was called by Kyriakos Papadopoulos in middle position and Nick Guagenti in the cutoff.
There was no more action on the flop J♣3♦9♥. But on the turn 3♥, Betito bet 21,000. Papadopoulos called, as well as Guagenti.
The river was a second jack, the J♥. Betito bet another 35,000, and Papadopoulos folded. However, Guagenti decided to raise to 200,000. After a few seconds, Betito folded, showing the 3♣ to reveal a full house.
Richard Chevalier and Timothy Holt were heads up in the blinds with the flop reading J♣10♦7♣. Chevalier led out with a bet of 16,000 and Holt raised to 35,000. Chevalier called and the 4♥ landed on the turn.
Chevalier checked this time and Holt threw in a small bet of 15,000. Chevalier called and the 3♣ hit the river. Chevalier checked once more and Holt reached for a bet, which prompted a quick fold from Chevalier.
At an adjacent table, the action folded to David Eldridge in the small blind who shoved all in as the bigger stack. Christopher Usude was in the big blind with a stack of 86,000 and went into the tank. The clock was called and as the time was counted down, Usude folded his Q♥Q♦ face up.
The cards were on their backs in a heads-up battle between Jeremy Palvini in the early position and Antonio Salorio in the cutoff.
Antonio Salorio: J♣J♦
Jeremy Palvini: A♠9♥
The board read 7♣A♦J♥9♦3♥ by the time all the cards were dealt. Palvini had turned two pair, but Salorio had flopped a set of jacks, which was good for the double-up.
Maksims Gorbacs opened 17,000 in the hijack and Aristeidis Moschonas three-bet 51,000 on the button. The blinds folded and Gorbacs made the call.
When the Q♦10♣9♦ flop hit the board, Gorbacs check-folded to a continuation bet of 40,000 from Moschonas.
While "floor, time!" and consequent countdowns can be heard frequently throughout the room due to a lack of hand-for-hand play so far, Eli Siboni and Gary Benson were two of the few players who were playing postflop.
The board read 3♠10♠J♠5♦ and Siboni fired 105,000 chips into a pot of roughly the same size. Benson made the call, creating a pot of more than 300,000 chips.
The river 10♣ then paired the board and caused the action to go check-check. Siboni showed A♠8♠ for the flush and it was good enough to rake in the sizable pot.
Stefan Lehner opened to 17,000 with the K♦Q♠ and Jules Dickerson called out of the small blind holding the 10♠10♥. Both checked the 7♠6♥3♠ flop and abet by Dickerson on the 8♦ turn won the pot for Dickerson.
The table then switched to a heads-up flop of A♦7♣5♦. Brian Andrews bet 30,000 on the button with the Q♥10♥ but folded when Dominik Nitsche check-raised raised to 100,000 with the 9♥8♣.
Adrian Bertini open-shoved under the gun for a remaining stack worth 105,000 and Tai Tran reshoved in in the cutoff for his last 125,000. Bertini looked at his cards on the button and also jammed for 210,000 to create a three-way showdown,:
Adrian Bertini: J♥J♣
Tai Tran: A♦A♣
Joshua Thibodaux: K♥K♣
Tran had good hopes for a triple-up, but the board revealed 8♥7♥9♥6♥7♦ to give the winning flush to Thibodaux, who scooped the pot and busted two opponents in the process, bringing us that much closer to a bursted bubble.
Eric Bunch raised to 22,000 with the 8♠7♥ and folded when Frank Bonacci three-bet to 68,000 with the A♦Q♣ on the three feature tables of the Horseshoe Event Center.
Shortly after, Corey Davila was forced all-in out of the big blind with the 10♣7♥. Dominik Nitsche had raised with the K♥3♥ and the board ran out K♦9♥6♥J♦7♣ as Davila departed early on Day 4.
