Nigh Shows Talbot a Boat

David Salituro

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Parker Talbot raised to 1,100 in the cutoff and Peter Nigh called in the big blind.

The flop came 2♣8♦9♦ and Talbot bet 800. Nigh called and the 9♠ fell on the turn.

Talbot then bet 4,500 and Nigh called once more. Nigh checked to Talbot again on the 9♣ river, and Talbot checked back this time.

Nigh showed 6♥6♦ for a full house and Talbot mucked.

Michael Giacobbe

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

A player sitting under the gun opened the action with a raise to 1,200. Joshua Feiger three-bet to 3,000 from the hijack before the cutoff four-bet to 8,000. The small blind put in another preflop raise, this one to 22,000 but Feiger six-bet jammed for 188,000. The small blind player went into the tank but wasn't ready to risk his Main Event life just yet as he released his cards back to the dealer.

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Chris Quirijnen moved all in preflop for 16,000 and was called by Xavier Kyablue.

Chris Quirijnen: A♣Q♥ All in
Xavier Kyablue: A♥9♥

Quirijnen was ahead but not for very long as the flop came 10♥5♥2♥ to give Kyablue the nut flush and leave Quirijnen drawing dead to make the turn and river irrelevant.
