Bernard Lee opened the action with a raise from middle position. The player on the button called and they saw a 
flop.
Lee bet 425, but was unable to shake his opponent. The 
turn was checked by both, leading to the 
river. A bet of 950 came from Lee and after a few moments, his opponent called. Lee tabled 
for a full house, winning the pot and upping his stack to about 27,000.
After Todd Terry opened with a raise to 375 from early-middle position, Ronnie Bardah called from two seats over to start a waterfall of calls. After he called, the hijack, cutoff seat and small blind all came along to the flop. If it wasn't for two vacant seats on the button and big blind, there might have been seven players to the flop.
The flop came down 
and action checked over to Bardah. He fired "eight and a quarter" verbally for a bet of 825. The hijack and cutoff seats folded, but the small blind made the call. Terry also folded and play was down to just two players going into fourth street.
The turn brought the
