: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Julien Martini was heads-up in a pot with around 60,000 in the middle and the board reading 4♣2♥2♣6♠. Martini checked from the small blind and his opponent checked it back in the cutoff.
The river brought the Q♣ and Martini led out with a bet of 35,000. His opponent went into the tank for a couple of minutes before finally folding.
"Show one card?" his opponent asked. Martini responded with a 'zero' hand gesture.

The player under the gun raised to 1,200 and was called by Anthony Marquez in the hijack and the player in the big blind.
It was checked to the original raiser on the A♦8♠K♠ flop and he bet 1,600. Only Marquez called.
Both players then checked down on the 9♦ turn and K♣ river and Marquez showed A♠7♠ for aces and kings. His opponent couldn't beat it and mucked — conceding the pot to Marquez.

Frederick Hoban raised and Matthew Nowicki three-bet to 3,100. Hoban put in the four-bet all-in for 23,800 and Nowicki snap-called.
Frederick Hoban: A♠K♥
Matthew Nowicki: Q♦Q♣
It was the classic coinflip and the king came in the window as the dealer spread the K♠5♠2♥ flop for Hoban to take the lead. The 7♥ turn and 3♦ river were bricks and Hoban dragged the pot.

Reiji Kono was involved in a three-way pot. There were around 3,500 chips in the pot and Kono bet 1,100 from under the gun after the big blind checked. The third player quickly got out of the way before the big blind made the call.
The turn 8♦ then was checked through before the river fell the 10♦. The big blind checked once again and Kono bet for a massive 16,000.
The big blind snap folded with a full house on the board and Kono raked in a much-needed pot in the dying hours of Day 1b.

Action folded to a player in middle position who opened to 1,500. It folded to Allen Kessler in the small blind who flat called and the big blind got out of the way.

Middle position snap folded. The chainsaw strikes again.
