We came in after all the action was done and Brett Richey showed sevens full of nines to beat the trip aces of Huck Seed and the trip threes of David Oppenheim. He scooped the massive pot and is now up to 230,000. Oppenheim fell to just 15,000 and Seed is still sitting fine with 140,000.

Fu Wong opened to 10,000 from under the gun only to have Jason Stern three-bet next to act. Fabrizio Gonzalez made the call from the cutoff as Wong called the additional 5,000 to see a flop fall.

Brunson called and didn't need to sweat seventh as he had in the hole for a jack-high straight. Ho's river was no help and she said her goodbyes, leaving only men behind to fight over a piece of jewelry.
