Plewinski showed JdJs, the cutoff showed AsQh, and the small blind was in bad shape with his 8c8h.

Four players committed 7,700 preflop and they saw a flop of Jd4h2h.

The small blind checked and Robert Transue bet 8,500 out of the big blind. Matthew Wilkins folded from under the gun and the hijack moved all in for about 23,000. The small blind folded and Transue called.

The hijack showed QhJh, good for top pair and a flush draw, but Transue had the nut flush draw with his AhTh.

The 8d came on the turn and the hijack asked the dealer for “no more hearts.”

The dealer didn’t cooperate, however, and the 3h came on the river to give the pot to Transue. Transue eliminated a player and moved over the six-figure chip mark just before the break.

Robert Transue – 135,000

Joe Serock was in the cutoff and got into a preflop confrontation with the player on the button. After a couple raises, the button’s last 17,500 got into the middle and the cards were tabled.

Serock showed AcQh and needed help against the button’s KsKh.

Serock couldn’t find an ace as the board ran out QhTd9s6d7s and the pot was sent to Serock’s neighbor.

Joe Serock – 35,000

Young showed Ah8c and was in trouble against Fuller’s JsJd. The board ran out KcQd4s2sQs and Fuller’s jacks held up to drag the pot and eliminate Young.
