Darren Rabinowitz was all in with pocket aces on the big blind, and Shawn Cunix had him covered holding 3c2s from the cutoff.

The final board read Jd6d4h5h7h, and Rabinowitz was eliminated on the hand by the seven-high straight held by Cunix.

Cunix was also proud to mention that his son Sam is playing in today’s event as he collected his chips after the pot to build up a stack of 96,000.

Ryan Riess raised to 500 preflop from the button, and Dylan Linde reraised to 3,000 from the big blind. Riess called after some thought before the flop fell 5s5c3h.

Linde bet 2,100, and Riess tanked before calling. The turn was dealt 3d, Linde bet 3,500, and Riess tanked again before calling.

The river delivered the 6c, and this time it was Riess who fired out 30,000. Linde tanked for a minute or two before folding his cards. Riess stacked up 52,100 after collecting the pot, and Linde was at 23,200 after the hand.

Ryan Riess – 52,100 (260 bb)
Dylan Linde – 23,200 (116 bb)
