The flop read in a four-way raised pot and it checked around so all four players got to see the turn as well. One player now bet 3,000 and the action moved to Jorn Walthaus in the small blind who check-raised to 8,900. The bettor called, and they went heads-up to the river.
The river came down the and Walthaus now bet out a hefty 18,500. His opponent peered at Walthaus' stack as if considering a raise, but in the event he folded and Walthaus bumped his stack up to a comfortable 65,000.
The flop read and a young gentleman bet out 3,300. Julian Thew made it 10,000, the young gent shoved for around 25,000, and after a few moments Thew quietly announced call.
Thew:
All-In Gent:
Turn:
River:
The young gentleman's cheeks puffed out with relief as he doubled to over 50,000. Thew dropped to 36,000.
Daniel Negreanu opened for 1,375 and James Mitchell shoved behind for his last 8,200. The gentleman in the small blind unexpectedly called, Negreanu folded and they proceeded to showdown.
Small Blind Gentleman:
Mitchell: a rather lacklustre
Board: bink!
"Nghhh!" said Negreanu. "That worked out so well..."
Carter Phillips raised to 1,450 from the button and picked up a call from the gent in the big blind. However, it didn't go much further than that. The big blind checked the flop and Phillips stuck in another 1,550; the big blind folded and Phillips edged up to 75,000.
Mr Phillips seems to have dropped a few chips since then though - he was at 65,000 when we strolled by his table.
Three players saw a flop and Craig Bergeron checked from under the gun. The gentleman a few seats down bet 3,000 - only for Melanie Weisner to his left to make it 7,200. Bergeron now shoved for 11,425, the bettor folded, and Weisner made the call.
Bergeron:
Weisner: said "Oh wow, nice hand," as she flipped her

River:
Bergeron more than doubled to 30,000. Weisner dropped to 40,000.
