A Small One for Siclet
Level 1
: Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
Everybody folded to Justina Andriukeviciute in the small blind, who limped then bet 200 on a flop of 7♣K♥6♥.
Riccardo Siclet, who checked his option from the big blind, called on the flop then checked-back the 2♦ turn.
There was no more action on the 4♣ river, and Andriukeviciute revealed 10♥7♠ for a pair. Siclet with Q♣7♥ had the same pair but a better kicker, so he scooped the pot.

Orlando Takes From Beckman
Level 1
: Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
Francesco Fiore opened to 600 from the hijack, and he was called by Anders Beckman in the cutoff, Takumi Nobuhara on the button and by Graziano Orlando in the big blind.
The dealer fanned a flop of 8♥4♦7♠, which was checked by Orlando and Fiore, but not by Beckman who bet 1,000. Orlando was the only one to call.
Both Orlando and Beckman checked on the Q♠ turn and the K♥ river. First player to reveal his cards, Orlando flipped over J♦8♣ for a pair and won the hand as Beckman mucked his cards.
