John Dwyer
John Dwyer flopped a set of queens to crack kings in the final hand of the night.

In the final hand of the night, John Dwyer raised from middle position to 65,000, Jason Klapman reraised from the small blind to 215,000, and chipleader Isaac Kempton tanked for a long time in the big blind before he folded.

Dwyer quickly called with QsQc, and Klapman turned over KhKc. (Kempton breathed a big sigh of relief.)

But there was a queen in the window as the board came AdQh7h8d10s, giving Dwyer a set of queens and a double-up in the final hand of the night.

John Dwyer  –  1,390,000  (46 bb)
Jason Klapman  –  365,000  (12 bb)

David Tuthill
David Tuthill

Russell Waggoner was all in preflop with 9h9c, and he needed to improve to stay alive against Serge Dergham’s AhKs.

The board came Kh6c4s3c2d, and Dergham paired his king on the flop to win the pot and eliminate Waggoner in 27th place.

Serge Dergham  –  1,690,000  (56 bb)
Russell Waggoner  –  Eliminated in 27th Place  ($9,405)

John O’Neal  –  1,230,000  (41 bb)

Nathan Russler vs. Francisco Gomez
Nathan Russler (top left) tanks after Francisco Gomez (far right) moved all in preflop.

David Jackson raised from the hijack to 65,000, Nathan Russler reraised from the button to 180,000, and Francisco Gomez moved all in from the big blind for 650,000.

Jackson thought for a while before he folded, and then Russler tanked for a long time before he folded as well. Gomez took the pot.

Francisco Gomez  –  940,000  (31 bb)
David Jackson  –  1,325,000  (44 bb)
Nathan Russler  –  1,375,000  (46 bb)

A while later at another table, with the board showing Ks3h3c10s on the turn, Brian Ray bet 125,000. Butchie Mitchell moved all in, and the next two players folded.

Ray thought for a bit before he called with KcJh for two pair, kings and threes, and Mitchell turned over As10c for a lower two pair, tens and threes.

Mithcell needed an ace or a ten to stay alive, but the river card was the 3d. Ray won the pot with a higher full house, threes full of kings, to eliminate Mitchell in 30th place.

Brian Ray  –  1,385,000  (46 bb)
Butchie Mitchell  –  Eliminated in 30th Place  ($8,002)

Isaac Kempton raised from the hijack to 55,000, Tom Nguyen moved all in from the button for 275,000, and Kempton thought for a while before he called with Qs10h.

Nguyen turned over 4d4c, and he needed his hand to hold to stay alive.

The board came Kd7h5c5dKc, and the board double-paired to counterfeit Nguyen’s fours. Kempton won the pot with his queen kicker to eliminate Nguyen in 32nd place.

Isaac Kempton  –  3,975,000  (159 bb)
