Will Leffingwell opened to 10,000 from the hijack and was called by Lam Tran on the button and David Shaw in the big blind.
The flop came out 3?J?Q? and action checked to Tran who bet 160,000, which produced a fold from Shaw. Leffingwell then check-raised to 360,000 and Tran called to see the 4? on the turn.
Leffingwell fired for 450,000 and after some thought, Tran moved all in for around 1,100,000, which Leffingwell snap-called to put him at risk.
Lam Tran: A?Q?
Will Leffingwell: A?Q?
Only an ace could save Tran, but the river was the 10? and he headed to the payout desk while Leffingwell Scooped the huge pot to take the chip lead. He then walked up and drew a $5,000 bounty, no big deal.

The surviving players in the Mystery Bounty are now on their second 15-minute break of the day and will return to action momentarily.
After an open to 65,000 from Cord Garcia, Derek Normand three-bet to 208,000 and then Kevin Kendrick 4-bet jammed for around 1,000,000, covering Normand. Normand thought about it for a few seconds before he made the call to put himself at risk of elimination.
Derek Normand: J?J?
Kevin Kendrick: A?K?
An ace appeared right in the window, but luckily for Normand, a jack came right behind it on the A?J?9? flop to give him a huge lead.
The turn 3? left Kendrick drawing dead and the Q? completed the board to award Normand the huge double.
"Bet your heart sank when you saw that ace," a player commented.
"I had faith," Normand simply replied as he chipped up to 1,600,000.

after an open from Tao Zhang, Xiao Probst moved all in preflop for around 195,000. After some thought, Zhang called to put her at risk and the cards were on their backs.
Xiao Probst: A?2?
Tao Zhang: A?9?
The flop came out A?10?5? to give both players an ace, but Zhang was in the lead with his nine-kicker. The turn 6? changed nothing, but the river sure did as it came the 2? to give Probst the win with two-pair.

David Shaw limped the small blind, and then Wayne Xia raised to 100,000 from the big blind. Shaw then moved all in to cover, and Xia quickly called, putting himself at risk.
Wayne Xia: A?J?
David Shaw: A?10?
"Yes!" Xia celebrated and clapped when he realized he was ahead.
"Oh, I'm good by the end," Shaw replied with a smile, and sure enough, the flop came out ten-high to give Shaw the lead and when no jack appeared, Xia was sent to the rail.
"I gotta go pull that bounty now, after that hand," Shaw says and heads to the bounty drawing area, where of course, he pulls a $5,000 bounty.
