Daniel Kim raised from the cutoff to 100,000, and Aaron Mermelstein three-bet all in for 440,000 from the button. Kim was the lone caller.
Aaron Mermelstein: A♠J♦ 
Daniel Kim: A♥Q♣
The board started out well for Mermelstein with J♥4♣A♦, and two pair looked solid, but the turn 6♠ and the river Q♦ brought out a "Holy sh*t" from Kim as he rivered a better two pair.
Kevin Cogan in the hijack jammed for 660,000. Jeff Gross on the button moved all in for less with 520,000, and the blinds folded.
Jeff Gross: Q♠Q♦
Kevin Cogan: J♠J♥
Gross' queens held on 3♣5♥4♣5♠7♦, and he doubled up.
Jonathan Morgan moved all in from the hijack for 385,000, and Ming Chen called from the button.
Jonathan Morgan: K♥9♣
Ming Chen: A♦10♠
The dealer ran out 6♣9♦2♥J♥7♦, and a pair of nines won the pot for Morgan.

The World Series of Poker (WSOP) is set to usher in a new era for its winter flagship, WSOP Paradise, after confirming the festival will move from Atlantis Paradise Island to the luxury Baha Mar resort, also in the Bahamas.
The 2026 edition, slated to run from Tuesday, December 1 to Friday, December 18, will shuffle up and deal in a new home roughly six miles up the Bahamian coast from where Austria’s Bernhard Binder announced himself to the wider poker world, capturing the record-breaking 2025 WSOP Paradise Super Main Event just a few months ago.
In an announcement on social media platform X, the WSOP wrote, "The next chapter of WSOP Paradise is coming... Bigger. Better. Unmissable. This December, the world's fastest-growing poker event arrives at the stunning Baha Mar."
The players are on their first 15-minute break, and 234 will return.
Erin Sullivan raised from early position to 80,000; Christian Harder three-bet to 280,000 from the big blind. Sullivan four-bet to 600,000, and Harder applied the maximum pressure and five-bet all in for 1,540,000 effective. Sullivan took quite a while to decide, and another player called the clock. At the last second, Sullivan called to see the bad news.
Erin Sullivan: J♦J♣
Christian Harder: Q♥Q♣
Chris, the dealer, dropped 3♦9♥2♣2♥4♠, and Harder won with the better two pair.
Bobby Poe opened to 205,000 from under the gun. Rachel Arieh in the small blind raised all in for approximately 285,000, then Kazutaka Fujita in the big blind jammed for 805,000. Poe snap-called.
Rachel Arieh: Q♣Q♦
Kazutaka Fujita: K♠K♦
Bobby Poe: A♠A♣
After a flop of 10♦4♠6♥, Fujita hit the K♣ turn to take the lead. The 5♥ river sent Arieh to the rail while Fujita doubled up.
