86 and Mitchell bet about a third of the pot with 225,000. Brown called quickly. The 7 fell on the turn and Mitchell checked this time. Brown insta-checked behind. The K fell on the river and Mitchell checked again. Brown hesitated momentarily before moving all in, having Mitchell covered.

One hand after Gromov lost a flip for almost all his stack, he was all in with the 94 against the pocket aces of Isaac Settle. 9-4 offsuit failed to draw out and Gromov was gone.

The father of tablemate Rich Rice moved in from the small blind with pocket queens after Gabe Costner raised under the gun with AK. Costner hit a king on the turn to send Rice to the rail.
