There was some confusion about the correct amounts over on table 481 after Robert Brown had held up with 
against the 
of Joseph Comins and the 
of Robert Goldbaum. Eventually, Brown's triple up for some 18,000 was confirmed while Comins won the small side pot.
Apparently, Goldbaum had shoved on the flop and Comins called with the open-ended straight flush draw. However, Brown's aces held up on a board of 
and the amounts were settled after a mere minute.

888poker started out this year's 888ride series by giving Scott Blumstein, reigning World Series of Poker Main Event Champion, a ride to the Rio.
We can't tell when the money went in as the board and hole cards were already tabled when we arrived, but Kristen Bicknell scored a knockout after her 
hit a straight on the 
board. Unfortunately for her opponent, he also hit a straight but only the inferior one as he held 
. Bicknell is still far from par but the recent win brought her stack up to 38,000.

The table was still talking about a cooler hand that just previously occurred where pocket queens ran into pocket aces, not knowing they were about to witness another one. After a raise to 2,600 from the hijack, Edwin Alden shoved all in for just under 20,000 in the cutoff. Shinya Shimada was in the small blind and pushed all in over the top, getting the original raiser to fold.
Shinya Shimada: 
Edwin Alden:
The dealer fanned the flop with the in the window. "No!" Shimada screamed, but it quickly turned into a "Yes!" when the 
followed it. Alden hit his ace but Shimada flopped a set of kings, leaving Alden drawing extremely thin. The turn and river were no help and Alden headed for the exit doors as Shimada scooped the pot.
