Ami Alibay: 9♣6♠5♠2♣ All in
Roussos Koliakoudakis: K♣Q♣J♠9♥

Alibay was in front with a straight, but the runout of 6♦3♣ gave Koliakoudakis a club flush to mark Alibay's elimination in one of the first bustouts of the day.

Chance Castro

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Action was picked up on a flop of 10♣Q♠5♠ with four players involved.

The player under the gun bet 4,000 and a middle position player folded before Cory Wood called in late position. The cutoff called as well.

The turn brought the 8♠ and the player under the gun checked. Wood asked the dealer, "How much is pot?" before making a pot-sized wager of 17,200. The cutoff got out of the way and the under the gun player called.

On the river 2♠, under the gun checked and Wood announced an all in for approximately 50,000, which prompted his opponent to fold.

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

The hijack opened to 1,800, Jeremy Ausmus called in the cutoff, followed by Farid Jattin on the button, and Jesse Lonis in the big blind.

The 4♥3♣2♥ flop hit the felt, and Lonis took the lead, firing 3,400 into the middle. The hijack and Ausmus quickly folded, and Jattin put in a raise of 20,000. Lonis tanked for about 30 seconds while eying up the 5,500 Jattin had behind and eventually announced all in. Jattin quickly called and both hands were tabled.

Farid Jattin: 5♦5♠4♦3♠ All in
Jesse Lonis: A♦Q♠7♦5♥
