The flop was 5cAd10s, Moreno bet 100,000, and Collopy called.

The turn was the 3c, Moreno bet 375,000, and Collopy thought for about two minutes before he called.

The river was the Jc, Moreno thought for about a minute before he bet roughly 1,500,000 (leaving behind 25,000), and Collopy called after a few seconds.

Moreno showed 4s3s for a pair of threes, but Collopy tabled 5d3d for fives and threes to win the pot.

Sergio Aido
Sergio Aido

Sergio Aido completed the small blind to 100,000, Andrew Moreno raised from the big blind to 375,000, and Aido called.

Both players checked to the river on a board of 9s9c8c5c8d, Aido checked, Moreno bet 250,000, and Aido thought for a while before he called with Qh10d — he was playing the two pair on the board, with his queen as a kicker.

But apparently that was enough, as Moreno mucked, and Aido won the pot.

Sergio Aido  –  3,200,000  (32 bb)
Andrew Moreno  –  2,025,000  (20 bb)

With 11 players remaining from a field of 1,110, the average chip stack is around 4,025,000 (40 big blinds). The remaining players are guaranteed at least $69,900 each.

Action will continue today until there are seven players remaining for tomorrow afternoon’s live-streamed final table, scheduled to begin at 1:00 pm.

The Big 4 High Roller dropped to 24 players midway through Level 13 to trigger a complete three-table redraw. They still have a lot of work to do, they’ll lose another table before going into hand-for-hand mode at 16 players.

Before they broke up, the two biggest stacks in the room were seated next to each other. Asher Conniff leads the field with 1,185,000 and Dylan Linde is second with 988,000.

The flop was 7d3d2c, Kilker bet 100,000, Liberto raised to 425,000, and Kilker called.

The turn was the 8c, Kilker checked, Liberto bet effectively 1,650,000, and Kilker instantly called all in with 8d4d for a pair of eights with a flush draw. Liberto was behind with Qc9h.

The river was the 7c, safe for Kilker to double up.

Raul Hernandez

Three players saw a flop of Qc10s7s, and Jim Collopy checked the small blind. Raul Hernandez bet 250,000 from the big blind, Mike Liang called under the gun, and Collopy folded.

The turn card was the 5h, Hernandez bet 500,000, and Liang thought for a while before he called.

The river card was the Qs, Hernandez moved all in for 1,475,000, and Liang asked for a count and thought for a bit before he called with Ks6s for a king-high spade flush.

But Hernandez turned over Qd5s to win the pot with a full house, queens full of fives, and double up in chips.
