Hugo Loustau called in the cutoff and Pedro Gonzalez did the same on the button. Pasquale Grimaldi then made the call in the small blind before Nick Eastwood checked his big blind option.
A round of checks followed the 3♥J♦A♣ flop, with four more checks coming after the 5♥ turn.
Grimaldi and Eastwood checked one last time on the A♦ river and Loustau fired 5,000 into the middle. That produced a pair of folds before Eastwood made the call.
Loustau showed 10♠10♦ to earn the pot as Eastwood mucked.
Renaldo Dumitrascu opened to 4,500 from under the gun with Carmen Zainescu calling in the cutoff. Bogdan Nicolae also called in the big blind.
The Q♠7♥10♥ flop saw all three players check, with Nicolae leading out for 8,000 on the 7♠ turn. Dumitrascu called while Zainescu folded, and the dealer turned over the 7♦ river.
Nicolae fired again, this time sliding out 18,000 chips. Dumitrascu did not take long to fold, as Nicolae collected an early pot.
