Short-stacked Ken Mondegari had less than a big blind when he moved all in preflop for 17,000 and was called by Hans Schacke and Johnny Groat.
Schacke and Groat checked through the board of 2?3?3?5?7? and the hands were tabled.
Ken Mondegari: A?8?
Hans Schacke: 4?7?
Johnny Groat: 9?7?
Schacke and Groat both hit a seven on the river, but Groat's nine-kicker played to award hin the pot, eliminating Mondegari.

After an open from Tavish Margers to 27,000, Timothy Vu three-bet to 107,000 and action folded back to Margers, who responded by moving all in.
Vu then went into the tank for a bit as he stared at his hand, unsure of what to do. After twenty seconds of this, he finally set a stack of chips into the middle to signify a call, putting himself at risk.
Timothy Vu: 10?10?
Tavish Margers: K?K?
Vu would need a lot of help to stay alive, but the flop of K?J?2? left him drawing slim as Margers made top set. The turn 3? left him drawing dead and the river Q? was just ceremonial as Vu said farewell to the table and headed to the exit.
