Adam Lawler and Josh Manley went heads-up to a flop with around 4,000 in the middle already. The flop came 8♦4♥4♦ and Lawler led out with a bet of 3,300. Manley min-raised to 6,600 and Lawler tanked for nearly two minute before releasing his cards to the muck.
"Big fold," Lawler said as Manley raked in the pot.
"Tens? Jacks?" Manley questioned.
"Queens," Lawler responded.
"Queens?! Good fold," Manley nodded with a grin.

"RA" raised it up from under the gun and "MM" three-bet to 1,800 in the hijack. The big blind called and "RA" came along as well. The flop fell 8♠6♥4♣ and the action checked to "MM" who bet 2,000. The big blind folded but "RA" called to see the 6♠ on the turn.
"RA" checked again and "MM" made a bet of 3,700 which "RA" quickly called. The river was the 2♥ and both players tapped the table. "MM" flipped over A♣K♣ but "RA" tabled 3♠2♠ for a rivered pair to claim the pot.

There were four players who put 700 in the pot before Eliran Argelazi reraised to 4,000 on the button. He picked up three callers along the way and the dealer fanned the flop of 7♠6♠6♦.
Romano Pizzo led out with a bet of 8,600 in middle position and only Argelazi called to see the 2♣ on the turn. Both players checked after some table chat and the 2♦ completed the board.
Pizzo fired out another bet of 11,000 and the two engaged in some more words before the clock was called on Argelazi. After 30 seconds, he made the call and Pizzo flashed 9♥9♣. Argelazi tabled 10♥10♦ for a bigger pocket pair and was awarded the large pot.

Picking up the action on the turn with the board reading 9♣8♠3♦Q♥, "RA" and James Williams were left heads-up with a little under 15,000 chips in the pot.
"RA" was first to act in the small blind and ripped all in for 20,300. Williams asked for a count and deliberated for a minute before making the call for most of his chips.
"RA" turned over 8♣8♦ for a set of eights while Williams was left with six outs holding J♠J♥. The Q♦ on the river gave "RA" a full house as he doubled up, leaving Williams with just a few big blinds.

Vivian Saliba just registered for the Main Event and was seated at a new table with fellow 888poker ambassadors Ian Simpson and Lucia Navarro. Saliba wasted no time getting involved in the action after making a three-bet in middle position against Ajay Kejriwal.
The two players went heads-up to a queen-high flop and Kejriwal just check-called a bet from Saliba. The A♥ and A♦ runout slowed down Saliba as both players checked the river. Kejriwal showed Q♠Q♦ for a full house and Saliba flashed her Q♥ before the cards went into the muck.
On the next hand, Saliba opened to 700 from under the gun and Kejriwal called from the big blind. The flop came 10♠10♥9♠ and Kejriwal check-called a bet of 1,000 from Saliba. The turn was the 9♥ and Saliba won the pot with a bet of 1,500, flashing her K♥K♦ in the process.
