The player on the button raised all in preflop, and was called in the small blind by Tom Smith, who was at risk. He looked even more at risk when the hole cards were turned over.
Tom Smith: J♠J♦
Button: A♠A♣
But Smith was saved when the board ran out J♣4♦4♣K♠3♦, giving him a timely double up.

An early raise got two calls — from a player in middle position and Mark Eavns, in the big blind.
The flop fell Q♣10♦7♦ and the original raiser bet again, to 1,200. It folded to Evans who promptly raised it up to 5,600 and just as promptly, got a fold.

Cutoff: A♣J♣
Michael Bridgman: A♥K♥
The cutoff was in a world of trouble but picked up a flush draw on the flop of 8♣4♥2♣. There was no further help however as Bridgman caught a king as the Q♥K♠ completed the board for top pair, top kicker to take down the pot and eliminate the cutoff
