The big blind folded, and the middle-position player tanked for a while before he moved all in over the top for 835,000.

Collins called, covering both players, and then Gorsuch asked for an exact count. Gorsuch folded, claiming he had queen-jack of hearts (for an open-ended straight draw).

These were the cards for the three all-in players, listed in descending order of chip stacks:

Ronald Collins:    (spade flush draw)
Middle-Position Player:    (pair of tens, gutshot straight draw)
Alex Torres:    (jack-high straight)

Torres had flopped a straight, and needed it to hold to stay alive.

The turn card was the , the river card was the , and Torres won the pot with his jack-high straight to more than triple up in chips.

His opponent in middle position won the much smaller side pot with his pair of tens to stay alive with 590,000, though he still took a loss of 285K on the hand.

If Gorsuch had called with his queen-jack suited, he would have rivered a king-high straight to knock out all three players and catapulted to more than 6.2 million in chips.

Alex Torres  –  1,940,000  (49 bb)

Players Remaining:  185 of 7,703

David Albertson won a huge pot right before the break, where he raised big preflop to 150,000. His opponent didn’t see the raise, and only called 25K, thinking nobody had raised the big blind.

He was given a fairly standard ruling with two options — he could fold and forfeit his 25,000 into the pot, or he could call the full amount of the raise. He chose to call.

The flop came , and the player who had mistakenly called moved all in with a sizable stack worth well over a million in chips.

Albertson called with for top pair, top kicker, and his opponent turned over — pair of aces with a lower kicker, and a gutshot straight draw. Albertson had his opponent covered.

The turn card paired the board with another , and the river card was a . Albertson won the huge pot with his king kicker to eliminate his opponent and catapult to a sizable chip lead at the break.
