Jun Kim open-shoved the button, and Jason Sell called in the small blind. DJ Buckley called off his 200,000 or so stack in the big.
Kim:
Sell:
Buckley:
Kim had both opponents dominated, and only Sell was drawing live after the first four cards came . Sell's club didn't hit the river, and Buckley exited in eighth since he had the least chips, while Kim tripled up.
Nick Jivkov pushed all in under the gun, and action folded to Ryan Jefferson, who shipped over in the cutoff. Jason Seefeld thought for about 30 seconds before pushing his 300,000 stack forward. The blinds got out of the way.
Jivkov:
Jefferson:
Seefeld:
Right after Jason Sell had joked about the slowness of the final table, we had a three-way all in with Jefferson leading the way with aces. His lead only grew on the flop, and only Seefeld had an out after the turn. No king materialized on the river, and Jefferson collected two opponents' stacks.
We thought we finally had some notable action when DJ Buckley shoved the button for 179,000 and was called by Mike Deis in the big blind. Deis had Buckley dominated with against , but they chopped when the board ran out .
We just saw our first flop of the final table, when Jason Sell opened to 85,000, and Ryan Jefferson defended his big blind. Jefferson check-folded the flop.
