: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Action folded to Casey Hatmaker on the button, and he raised to 2,000. Once it folded to the big blind Charles Furey, he three-bet all in for 19,300. Hatmaker confirmed the count and made the call to put Furey at risk.
Charles Furey: 7♥7♣ 
Casey Hatmaker: K♥Q♦
Furey was ahead with his pocket sevens but would have to race for his tournament life. When the board ran out 6♥10♦4♠A♦3♥ the pocket sevens of Furey were still best to secure him the double up.

Action picked up on the river in a hand between Carlos Chadha Villamarin in the cutoff and Joseph Mirabile in the big blind.
With a little over 20,000 in the pot and the board reading 10♣4♣K♣Q♥6♥, Mirabile checked and Chadha Villamarin bet 30,000, enough to put Mirabile all in.
Mirabile thought for a moment before tossing his cards into the muck. Chadha Villamarin is now sitting with one of the largest stacks in the room.
