Facing a raise from Jia Ming Liu on the button, and a call from Nick Pupillo in the small blind, Evan Paushter moves all in from the big blind for around 1,000,000. Liu pauses for a few moments before shoving all in, and Pupillo folds.

Paushter: J♥J♣
Liu: A♠A♥

"Was that a slow roll?" Paushter asks Liu, referring to him pausing to think before acting.

"Not at all, I just had to think about what to do since he (Pupillo) was involved in the hand as well," Liu responds.

"Well, I have clubs," Paushter says as he stands and starts collecting his belongings.

The flop comes 7♣6♣2♠.

"Sit down, the clubs are coming," a friend of Paushter's says from the rail.

But the turn is the 5♥, and Paushter knows he will need a jack to stay alive.

The river is the 10♠, and Paushter is eliminated in 3rd place.

Hand #1:

Quad twos vs. turned nut flush

Giuseppe Ruvolo was found scooping a monster sized pot, at the expense of Luis Vazquez.

The board read 10♦10♣3♣2♣2♦. The dealer was counting down Ruvolo's stack, and he had 2♥2♠ sitting in front of him. Vazquez had A♣9♣ in front of him.  Ruvolo said that after many raises and re-raises on the turn, they two players got it all-in, full house vs. nut flush. While Ruvolo didn't need the two on the river, it did improve him to quads, just for good measure.



Hand #2:

Luis Vazquez (left) is all-in on the button,
JeWook Oh (middle) is contemplating calling Giuseppe Ruvolo's (right) Re-Shove

The very next hand it folds to Vazquez on the button who moves all in for his remaining 15,000. JeWook Oh raises to 26,200 in the small blind, and Ruvolo moves all in, having both players covered.  Oh thinks for nearly a full minute before mucking his hand.

Vazquez: 10♣7♣
Ruvolo: J♣J♦

The board runs out clean, and Vazquez is eliminated from play, while Ruvolo is pushed nearly to the 300,000 chip mark.

Giuseppe Ruvolo - 290,000
