On the tail end of a battle of the blinds, the completed board showed J?4?2?10?10?. Lou Ojeda checked out of the small blind and then faced a hefty bet worth 985,000 by Ludovic Geilich from one seat over.
Ojeda called for almost all of his chips and mucked when Geilich rolled over the 10?7? for trips tens.
Tim Van Loo bet 65,000 from early position on a flop of 3?5?Q? and Yu Tang called in the small blind.
The turn came the A? and Tang check-called another bet of 225,000. Tang checked again on the J? river, and this time Van Loo checked back and Tang showed A?10? to win the pot.
The next hand at this table, Tang was facing a bet of 450,000 from Faraz Jaka on a completed board of 2?6?Q?J?7?. Tang called and Jaka showed K?10? for a missed straight draw.
"I couldn't find a raise," Tang said as he turned over Q?J? for two pair to win another pot.
Manh Nguyen opened to 60,000 from middle position before Brian Xie jammed for 665,000 from the cutoff. Action folded back to Nguyen who tanked for some time before flicking in a chip to call.
Brian Xie: 7?7?
Manh Nguyen: J?J?
Nguyen made a set on the J?10?4? flop leaving Xie drawing thin. The 3? gave the at risk player a flush draw but Nguyen filled up on the 3? river.
Antonio Mallol Heredia raised for all but one chip from under the gun and Lachezar Petkov called all-in for 340,000 in the next seat, all other players folded.
Antonio Mallol Heredia: Q?Q?
Lachezar Petkov: A?A?
The 8?5?5?3?2? board secured the double for Petkov while the Spaniard was forced all-in from the big blind next. Robert Coakley raised and everyone else folded.
Antonio Mallol Heredia: Q?J?
Robert Coakley: K?J?
"Women always kill me," the Spaniard joked but took the lead moments later on the Q?10?7? flop. However, the A? turn gave Coakley broadway and the 2? river sent Mallol Heredia to the payout desk.
Nicholas Rigby opened to 100,000 on the button and Chance Kornuth, who had just moved to the feature table after a table break, three-bet to 385,000 from the big blind. Rigby responded with a four-bet jam and Kornuth called off for around 3,100,000.
Chance Kornuth: A?K?
Nicholas Rigby: A?A?
Kornuth had a premium holding but Rigby didn't have the "Dirty Diaper" this time. Rigby had aces and kept the lead as the flop landed and innocuous J?2?9?.
"Four of diamonds," Rigby said quietly as he sweated the turn card. Rigby then jumped in the air as the dealer put down the 4? on the turn.
"Let's go!" he cheered as he ran to his rail.
Chance Kornuth Eliminated By Nick Rigby
Kornuth, who has had a fantastic summer that has included multiple high-roller final table appearances, was drawing stone dead before the 10? bricked off on the river to earn Rigby the massive pot.
"We got no beef with him!" someone on Rigby's rail yelled.
"Yeah, no beef," Rigby before shaking Kornuth's hand.
Rigby has been chip leader at multiple points throughout the tournament and appears to be near that same position with a stack of around 7,000,000.
