The occupants of the table announced that this was the terminator table as five consecutive people have been knocked out already. Ken Stacy was the latest benefactor of this phenomenon.
The player under the gun raised to 400 which was his last few chips and Stacy called. The player in the hijack raised to 2,500 and both the cutoff and Stacy called.
The flop came out with 3♣8♥6♦ and Stacy checked and the hijack checked.
On the turn 8♦, Stacy checked and the hijack made a delayed continuation-bet of 2,500. Stacy called.
The river 9♦ saw Stacy take the lead with a bet of 2,500 and the hijack folded.
Under the gun: 6♣5♥
Ken Stacy: 7♣5♣
Stacy held a straight for the win and the knockout.
Action picked up on the flop, between two players with 2,800 in the pot on a board showing A♥K♠K♥.
A player from middle position check-called a bet from John Lohmann for 1,000 on the button.
Both players checked after the 10♥ on the turn.
Once the Q♠ completed the board on the river, the player in middle position checked to Lohmann, who bet out 2,000. His opponent thought about the decision for a few seconds before making the call.
Lohamann tabled Q♥Q♦ for a rivered full house. His opponent mucked his hand, giving the pot to Lohmann.
There were around 10,000 chips in the pot on a board of 2♦4♥Q♥2♥ when John Goodell shoved all in for 10,700 from early position. The player in middle position thought for a while before he made the call, which put Goodell at risk.
John Goodell: 4♠4♣
Middle Position: A♥7♥
Goodell was never at risk as his full house had no chance at losing to the flush of his opponent. An inconsequential K♦ fell on the river and Goodwell was pushed the pot.
Action was picked up after there was a loud reaction heard from the table, with Rocco Lazazzaro versus one other player all in and at risk with the board showing 4♥K♣3♥10♦7♥.
Lazazzaro's opponent had 7♠7♣ for a set of sevens, but he had K♠K♥ for a set of kings, to get the double up.
Alex Broad has enjoyed the last few minutes of play as he has doubled up twice in a short space of time.
First, Broad got his pocket kings in against the early position player and found a lucky river.
Alex Broad: K♠K♦
Early Position: A♥K♣
Broad's opponent turned an ace on the 7♦J♣9♠A♠ board but Broad hit his one-outer when the K♥ fell on the river.
Not long after, there was a board of 8♠10♠4♠2♥J♠ where Broad's opponent shoved all in on the river with A♥A♣, and Broad found the call with 8♦4♦ for two pair.
A player from early position raised to 800, a player in middle position and the hijack called. Jerry Mansfield three-bet all in for his last 1,700 chips, which the small blind and both players in early and middle position called. That is when the hijack four-bet all in for 15,100, which got the rest of the table to fold, leaving him and Mansfield heads up.
Jerry Mansfield: A♦7♦
Hijack: 7♠7♥
Mansfield needed help to stay in the tournament and the A♥J♦K♦ flop was exactly what he was looking for, improving to a pair of aces and a flush draw. The turn was the 3♣ and the river came the 4♦ to give Mansfield the nut flush and the quadruple up.
