Lovgren Hits Quads to Crack Wigg's Set of Aces
A few levels earlier in Level 6 (400/800/800), Sofia Lovgren was seen with a big smile on her face and raking in a massive pot that she won after going all-in against two opponents for around 33,000.
Lovgren held J?J? and was against Erik Wigg's A?A? and the 8?8? of Peter Cross. The flop of J?A?7? gave Lovgren a set and Wigg a bigger set, but the miracle J? on the turn improved Lovgren to quads.
The river brought the 3? and Lovgren scooped the massive pot, while a side pot went to Wigg, and Cross was eliminated.

"No way," his opponent said, seemingly perplexed.
"I was bluffing," Guilbert said. "Fives?"

Deeb Coolered By Schwartz
On Day 1b in Level 3 (200/400/400), Jake Schwartz opened to 1,000 in middle position and Shaun Deeb three-bet to 3,300 as the player next to act. The action folded back to Schwartz, who called.
Schwartz checked on the flop of 4?K?2? and Deeb bet 3,000. Schwartz called. Schwartz checked again on the A? turn and Deeb bet 6,500. Schwartz responded by re-raising all-in for around 27,000 and Deeb snap-called.
Jake Schwartz: 7?6?
Shaun Deeb: A?A?
Deeb had a set of aces but it was no good against the flush of Schwartz. The board didn't pair as the river bricked off and Schwartz secured the double-up, while Deeb was left with crumbs.
Despite losing that hand, Deeb would go on to finish in 12th place for $125,326.
Quads Over Quads for Dicarlo
On Day 1b in Level 7 (500/1,000/1,000), Sal Dicarlo got his 11,700 chips in preflop and was up against two other players.
Sal Dicarlo: K?K?
Opponent: J?J?
Opponent: 10?10?
The board ran out K?K?J?J?4?, and although one opponent made quad jacks, Dicarlo's quad kings took the main pot, while the other player took the side pot to stay alive as a consolation prize.
"Made quads and broke even," someone at the table noted to the winner of the side pot.
Poker Bunny Doesn't Show Cards While All In
On Day 1c in Level 10 (1,000/2,000/2,000), Shaun Deeb opened to 4,000 in middle position and Paulina Loeliger shoved for 9,000 in the hijack. The cutoff called and Deeb called.
The dealer spread the J?6?5? flop and Deeb bet 10,000, causing the cutoff to fold.
Paulina Loeliger: XxXx
Shaun Deeb: 9?7?
The dealer ran out the 10? turn and 9? river, but had forgotten to flip over Loeliger's hand. Loeliger sat still for a bit of time before suddenly putting her cards into the middle of the muck and moving the pile of cards around, leaving her hole cards unknown.
Deeb added the chips to his stack and Loeliger made her exit from the tournament area.
Deeb Pulls Off Trademark Slowroll with Aces
On Day 2c in Level 13 (2,000/4,000/4,000), when Shaun Deeb raised in late position to 8,000 with just 65,000 total in his stack. The big blind, Javier Zarco, then moved all in, and after about 10 seconds of pondering his decision, Deeb decided to call off, a decision he had already made.
"I've got a pretty big hand," Deeb said while slowly turning his hand over.
Shaun Deeb: A?A?
Javier Zarco: 6?6?
In fairness to Deeb, he acted much quicker than he often does when facing an all-in bet with the nuts. As for the board, it ran out A?9?K?5?Q? and the "King of Slowrolls" took down the pot.
"It's too bad justice wasn't served," Zarco uttered.
