Two short stacks with real hands, the board ran out 5♣7♥3♣9♦8♦ and Reinstein kept his tournament run alive.
On the turn, the board read 6♥K♦Q♥8♠. In middle position, Joseph Medaris was facing an all in cutoff shove from George Holmes for 27,000 into a pot of about 13,500.
Medaris thought for several moments before he folded and Holmes gathered some needed chips.
Action picked up on a board showing 10♦8♠6♠ in a hand with Steven Piper all in out of the big blind for his remaining 15,700 against an opponent on the button.
The player on the button was in the tank shuffling chips and looking at the board before asking the dealer for a count, which the dealer confirmed. The player on the button then called to put Piper at risk.
“I flopped a straight,” Piper said before tabling his hand.
Steven Piper: 9♣7♥
Opponent: K♣10♣
Piper was well ahead in the hand after the flop. And it remained that way after the dealer placed Q♠ on the turn and 2♣ on the river to give Piper a double up.
Jerry Wong opened the action with a raise to 2,500 in middle position. Thong Ho three-bet to 9,000 in the small blind and Wong called.
Ho continued for 10,000 on a rainbow 4♦5♥10♠ flop and Wong made the call.
The turn 8♦ rolled off and Ho sized-up to 15,000. Wong called once more.
The river 6♠ hit the felt and Ho moved all in for 56,200. Wong went into the tank for almost ten minutes, ultimately settling on a call. Ho flipped over K♥K♦ and it was good against Wong's Q♥Q♠.
