Nearly 400,000 was in the middle as Tal Herzog and Chris Dowling went to a flop of J♦6♦4♥. Dowling then bet 70,000 from the small blind, and Herzog called in the big blind.
The turn was the 10♠ and Dowling, who only had around 20,000 behind, moved all in. Herzog called, and Dowling turned over Q♠Q♥. Herzog, though, had flopped top set with J♠J♥.
The river was the 8♠ and Herzog took down the big pot to send Dowling to the rail.
PokerNews has learned that mixed games legend Roy Thung has passed away in Las Vegas.
The cause of death is unclear at this time, but it comes less than two weeks after the late poker player cashed in a World Series of Poker (WSOP) event. Thung was far more than just a beloved and respected poker player. He was the CEO for Independence Holding Co., an insurance company engaged in disability, supplemental health, and group life insurance.
On the tail end of a Q♣10♥9♠2♦5♠ board, Xuming Qi checked and Carlos Chadha Villamarin overbet for what appeared to be 250,000. Qi eventually called to get shown the A♦A♥ and had that beat with the 10♦9♣ to virtually even out their stacks.
Roman Romm opened to 20,000 in early position and only Scott Sterling called in the small blind.
The Q♠7♠2♦ flop checked through to the J♠ turn which saw Sterling lead for 35,000. Romm responded by moving all in for his final 121,000. Sterling confirmed the count before a small tank, but he ultimately called to put Sterling at risk.
Roman Romm: K♠K♦ 
Scott Sterling: Q♥10♦
Romm was in good shape with his overpair and spade against the top pair of Sterling. However, Romm still needed to fade four outs, which he could not do on the Q♦ river, giving Sterling trip queens to crack Romm's kings and send him to the rail in brutal fashion.
David Karlin raised to 22,000 and was called only by James Morgan to see a flop of 7♣7♦3♥ on which Morgan check-called for 51,000. They checked the A♥ turn and the 7♥ came on the river. Morgan checked again and then faced a bet of 67,000, after which he folded and exposed the 3♠. Karlin flashed the 3♣ before raking in the pot.
Safwane Bahri in middle position raised to 90,000, almost his entire stack, and he was called by Rory Smyth on the button.
The dealer fanned a flop of J♦10♣8♥ and after Bahri checked, Smyth bet a single blind. Bahri called with the 5,000 he had behind.
Safwane Bahri: Q♦10♦
Rory Smyth: A♣Q♣
The 5♠6♠ runout kept Bahri in the lead and he secured a double up.
Mario Diaz Quilez opened to 20,000 in the hijack, which only Asi Moshe called on the button.
Quilez continued with a bet of 15,000 on a K♦8♦Q♦ flop, which Moshe called.
The 2♥ turn saw Quilez slow down, checking over to Moshe, who bet 69,000. That bet did the trick, as Quilez mucked his cards.
David Paredes raised to 20,000 under the gun and Robert Demille three-bet to 60,000 in the hijack. Paredes then moved all in, and Demille called for 150,000.
Robert Demille: A♠J♦
David Paredes: A♦K♦
The board ran out 6♥5♦5♠Q♦10♠, and Paredes' king-kicker remained in the lead to earn him the pot and send Demille to the rail.
Lara Eisenberg raised from under the gun and Jinhoon Lee three-bet to 75,000 from middle position. Eisenberg made the call.
On the 5♠8♠J♣ flop, Eisenberg checked and Lee bet 130,000, leaving himself with just one big blind behind. Eisenberg jammed, and Lee quickly called off the rest of his stack.
Jinhoon Lee: Q♥Q♦
Lara Eisenberg: A♦J♦
Lee was ahead with his overpair against Eisenberg's top pair, top kicker, and stayed in front as the rest of the board ran out 4♦10♥ to earn the double-up.
