James Romero Runs Down AK & Queens
Early action was missed, but the cards were picked up on their back during a three-way all-in on Table 4.
James Romero called to close the action as the covering stack and he held [6d6s]. One of Romero’s opponents held [QhQd] while the other held [AdKs] – each had just over 125,000 chips.
The board ran out [Th9s7s8s3c] and Romero’s pocket pair improved to a straight to score the double knockout. When the dust settled, Romero was behind the biggest stack in the room with just under 500,000.

Scott Blumstein Clicks It Back

Scott Blumstein opened to 9,000 from the cutoff and Jorryt van Hoof three-bet to 42,000 from the small blind. Both players started the hand with over 250,000 and after chip leader Frank Cribello folded from the big, Blumstein used an extension before four-betting to 87,000.
van Hoof went into the tank briefly, but released before his timer hit zero to avoid burning an extension of his own.

McDermott Shoves on Blumstein
Tim McDermott, no relation to Mike but he does share his birthday with Doyle Brunson as he told us, just shoved on Scott Blumstein to rake in a nice pot.
On a flop showing [As6c7h] McDermott checked to Blumstein who bet 15,000 and McDermott called.
The turn brought the [Jd] and McDermott check-called another 18,000 after burning a time extension. On the river the [3c] completed the board and Blumstein bet another 37,000.
McDermott announced he was all in and Blumstein folded immediately.

Reilly Eliminated by Leng

Ryan Leng raised to 6,500 after which Tim Reilly moved all in for 48,000. The action folded back to Leng who went into the tank.
“I might make a very tight fold here,” Leng said as he threw in a timebank chip.
Reilly jokingly pump-faked turning over his cards and the whole table started laughing. Leng gave it some more thought but ultimately threw in the chips to make the call.
Leng: [8s8d]
Reilly: [KcJs]
The board ran out [9d9h6hAhQh] and Reilly was knocked out.
