Lawrence Riley decided to risk his tournament life and shoved all in for his last 150,000 or so in chips. Anna Marquez thought it over for a few seconds before making the call and showing down and hoping for a coin flip.
Unfortunately for Marquez, Riley held and Marquez would need to spike an eight or a miraculous board of straight or flush cards to take the pot.
The dealer revealed a final board of and Riley's jacks held up, padding his stack while crippling Marquez in the process.
Daniel Haglund open-raised to 22,000 from the cutoff and Christopher Goggin cut out a raise to 60,000 and stuck it in the middle.
Haglund announced he was all-in for 422,00 and Goggin thought for a little bit and said, "Alright, I call."
Haglund:
Goggin:
Although a small favorite going into the flop, Goggin's jacks shrunk considerably on the board, pairing Haglund *and* giving him the nut-flush redraw. The turn and river sealed the deal for Haglund, who raked in the enormous pot.
With the action folding to Jordan Young in the small blind, he eyed up Chase Olsen's stack in the big blind before announcing all in for roughly 300,000.
Olsen took a quick peep at his hand before folding as Young shook his head and flashed his visibly showing signs of frustration at not getting action.
With that pot, Young moved to just over 300,000 while Olsen slipped to 150,000 in chips.
Samantha Cohen entered the pot with a raise to 26,000 only to have Daniel Haglund three-bet to 60,000 from a few seats over. With the action on Brian Schmidt, he moved all in for 79,000 to force a fold from Cohen and a call from Haglund.
Schmidt:
Haglund:
With Schmidt needing to spike to stay alive, the board would see him hit the rail as Haglund climbs to 450,000 in chips.
