In one of the first hands of the day, Mark Sullivan doubled through Laurie Hilton. Fast forward seven hours, and the two are still at it.

The board reads J♣10♣4. Hilton checks in the big blind, the player under the gun checks, and Sullivan bets 4,000 in early-middle position. Action is back on Hilton who quickly shoves all in.

The player under the gun folds, and Sullivan asks for a count. Upon hearing the 20,900 total, Sullivan pauses for nearly a minute, and then tosses in a chip to call.

Sullivan turns over K♣K♠.

"I have a set," Hilton says as she turns over 4♠4

The 7 turn and the 6 river are safe for Hilton, and she doubles up.

Ante: 50
Current Entrants: 248
Current Players Remaining: 168
Avg. Chip Stack: 29,523
Feature Table Live Stream Link: https://www.twitch.tv/foxwoodspoker

There is around 23,000 in the middle, and two players are looking at the 986J♣ board.

The player in the small blind pauses for over a minute before betting 16,000. Action is on Solomon Yi in the cutoff. Yi pauses for nearly two minutes before announcing that he is all in, and moving his chip stack, totaling around 25,000, forward.

The small blind thinks for over three minutes before he hesitantly tosses in a chip to call.

Yi turns over J♠10 for a pair of jacks, and an open ended straight draw.  The small blind turns over QQ for an overpair to the board, and a gutshot straight draw.

The small blind is in the lead, but only until the river comes the 7♣ giving Yi a straight to double up.

The dealer counts out Yi's 24,675 in chips, and then passes that amount across the table from the small blind's stack.

Solomon Yi - 74,375

Event #1, Flight A - Mark Sullivan Doubles Through Laurie Hilton

Level:6
Blinds: 150/300
Ante: 25
Current Entrants: 207
Feature Table Live Stream Link: https://www.twitch.tv/foxwoodspoker

There are a total of four players that have called 300 to see the 8♠6♠5♠ flop.

Laurie Hilton checks in the big blind, Linda Swears checks her big blind, Mark Sullivan checks under the gun, and a player in middle position bets 700. Hilton and Swears both call, and Sullivan raises to 2,500. The player in middle position pauses for a few seconds, and then mucks his hand.  Hilton and Swears both call.

The turn is the Q. Hilton and Swears both check again, and Sullivan shoves all in.

Hilton asks for a count, and upon hearing the 12,950 total, she calls.

Swears pauses for nearly 30 seconds before reluctantly releasing her cards into the muck.

"Do you have a flush?" Hilton asks Sullivan. Sullivan turns over Q♠9♠.

"I have a straight," Hilton says as she turns over 7♠4, "I didn't think you would shove with the flush."

The K comes on the river and Swears sighs a sigh of relief while telling the table she had folded the A♠. The player in middle position says, "I had the K [of spades]."

Mark Sullivan -35,550
Laurie Hilton - 5,000
