Gualter Fortuna and Jun Liu got the chips in on a board that read 4♠Q♦3♦ with Fortuna at risk for his tournament.
Gualter Fortuna: 4♦5♦
Jun Liu: J♥J♦
Fortuna was drawing thick, but the 3♠ turn trimmed down his outs so that when the 5♠ river came it was no help to Fortuna who was sent to the rail.
Lawrence Greenberg called Darrell Hopkins' preflop shove, and sighed when the cards were flipped over as he saw he was pipped by one.
Darrell Hopkins: 9♣9♠
Lawrence Greenberg: 8♣8♥
The 8♠Q♠J♠ flop couldn't have been spicier, as Greenberg took the lead, but Hopkins picked up a straight flush draw. The Q♦ turn took away his outs, as now he needed to hit a better boat, or said straight flush. The J♥ river didn't help, as he was eliminated with a mincash.
Rudolph Bourg went all in and was at risk from early position for roughly 300,000 and was called by Theo Jorgensen from the cutoff. The players tabled their hands and were off to the races.
Rudolph Bourg: J♥J♠
Theo Jorgensen: A♦K♥
The dealer ran out a 6♠4♦6♣K♣5♦ ending Bourg's impressive run in Event #40.
Adam Singer was on his last legs in the tournament when he open jammed for 75,000
from early position. His wager was called by Carmino Argiero in the next seat over to put him at risk.
Adam Singer: 3♣3♦
Carmino Argiero: K♣K♥
Singer needed help after finding out it was pair versus pair, but the help did not come as the board came out 2♠Q♣6♥2♥K♦ to send Singer to the payout desk.
Action was picked up on the turn, with a board reading Q♠A♦8♣2♣. The pot was heads up, contested between Champie Douglas and Thomas Brownscombe.
Brownscombe had checked to Douglas, who bet 40,000 into 83,000. Brownscombe pondered before making the call, bringing in the 3♠ river. Yet again Brownscombe checked, and this time Douglas sized to 60,000, before being check-shoved on. Douglas asked for a count, which amounted to 411,000, meaning if Douglas called and was wrong, he would only have 5 big blinds to his name.
A long tank ensued, as Douglas milled over his options for over four whole minutes. In the end, he folded A♥3♥ face up, announcing "pocket eights in the house." "Show me an eight!" he added. Brownscombe refused and returned his cards face down.
Insum Geoum raised from under the gun to 22,000 and faced an all-in raise from Rudolph Bourg for 162,000. Geoum did not take long to call to send both to a showdown.
Rudolph Bourg: Q♥Q♠
Insum Geoum: A♠K♥
Bourg's queens held on as the dealer fanned out 5♥8♠2♣9♦2♠.
Thomas Brownscombe raised to 20,000 from early position. Martin Raus then went all in for 125,000, putting himself at risk from middle position. The rest of the table folded, and Brownscombe made the call.
Martin Raus: A♥K♠
Thomas Brownscombe: J♥J♦
The board ran out 3♥6♦7♦8♦A♦, sending Raus to the Rail
