Ian O’Hara

Ian O’Hara raised to 7,000 from the button, James Oliver three-bet to 18,000 from the small blind, and O’Hara called.

The flop came down Jd5h3h, and Oliver shoved for roughly 64,000. O’Hara took a peek at his cards and called.

Oliver: AsAc
O’Hara: Ah2h

The turn was the Kh, locking up the pot for O’Hara with the ace-high flush. The river was an inconsequential 8c.

“I’ve never seen anything like this,” commented tablemate Allen Kessler.

Ian O’Hara – 470,000

Jonathan Jaffe

Jonathan Jaffe was one of the shorter stacks since he sent a big double to Daniel Genachte and he found a small double against Asher Conniff before he shoved once again.

This time he ran his Ah4h into Brett Bader’s KsKh and he was gone after the Ts8s3s6d4s board.

Brett Bader – 840,000 (35 bb)
Jonathan Jaffe – Eliminated in 18th place ($13,438)

Kurt Jewell raised to 5,800 from under the gun, Ian O’Hara called from middle position, and Larry Lipman called from the big blind.

The flop came down 10s8d4h, and Lipman checked to Jewell who bet 10,800. Only O’Hara called, and the Qs turn fell. Jewell checked, O’Hara bet 17,500, and Jewell called. The Ah river completed the board, and Jewell shoved for roughly 105,000. O’Hara called instantly and tabled KcJd for the nut straight.

Jewell showed AsAd for a defeated set of aces, and O’Hara stacked the enormous pot.

Ian O’Hara – 381,000
Kurt Jewell – Eliminated

A player in middle position raised to 5,100, Michael Newman reraised all in for 6,500 from the small blind, Ian O’Hara called from the big blind, and the initial raiser called.

The flop came down AhQc9c, and the initial raiser isolated the pot with Ac7c. Newman trailed with 5h4d and was unable to catch up as the 3h turn and Kc river gave his opponent an ace-high flush.

Asher Conniff

Former WPT World Champion Asher Conniff has been making the most of his chances since the last break and now sits with the chip lead.

It began when he knocked Jose Reyes out and followed that up against Chad Deberry after he three-bet shoved for 175,000. Conniff called, the original raiser released, and Deberry was in rough shape.

Deberry: AsQh
Conniff: AcKc

A tough spot for Deberry but he found no love as the board ran Jh6d3c8sKd to send him out while Conniff moved into the late lead.

Asher Conniff – 3,100,000 (155 bb)
Chad Deberry – Eliminated in 21st place ($11,201)

Alex Rocha raised to 12,600 from middle position (leaving 1,000 behind) and Mark Dumonski called from the hijack.

Rocha bet his remaining 1,000 in the dark, and Dumonski called.

Rocha: QhQs
Dumonski: 10d10s

The board came down Ac5h2dKc2h, safe for Rocha to double up.

Alex Rocha – 32,000
Mark Dumonski – 28,000

Joseph Gotlieb

Main Event players went on their final break of the day and there were some big hands right out of the gate. One of the biggest saw Joseph Gotlieb and Steven McKoy heads to a 7d5d3d flop and Gotlieb shoved his 500,000 in the middle.

McKoy thought about it for a bit and finally called with his preflop monster.

Gotlieb: Jd9c
McKoy: AsAh

McKoy was ahead with his rockets but Gotlieb filled his flush on the 6d turn. The 9d river put a flush on the board but McKoy’s red ace was not a diamond.

Joseph Gotlieb – 1,100,000 (55 bb)
Steven McKoy – 225,000 (11 bb)
