Dwire put in a large check-raise to 29,500 and Reid moved all in for 43,500. Dwire quickly called and the cards were face up.
Terence Reid: A♦K♥

Michael Snyder: A♥10♦
Shawn Houdek: J♦9♠
The board ran out K♥5♣3♥4♠A♠ and Snyder doubled up with a pair of aces.

Michael Snyder: A♥Q♠
The flop came K♦J♦6♠ with the king in the window to give Houdek the lead. The 6♦ on the turn and the 8♥ on the river changed nothing and Snyder passed some chips back to Houdek.

Gregg Selberg opened to 2,500 in early position and was called by two players. David Anderson three-bet to 11,500 on the button and Selberg clicked it back to 20,000. The rest of the table got out of the way but before Anderson and Selberg exchanged some pleasantries.
Anderson opted to shove all in for 60,300 and Selberg asked for a count. He thought for a minute and then decided to send his cards to the muck.
"Jacks?" he questioned.
Anderson responded by showing his J♥J♦ as he claimed the pot.
