Mazalahedwa Bako raised to 600 on the button and called when Jamie Morris put in a small three-bet to 1,500 from the big blind.
Morris continued for 2,000 on the 4♥9♠3♣ flop, which Bako called. After Morris checked the 4♣ turn, Bako then took the initiative with a bet of 6,000. Morris called, but led out for 8,000 on the 5♥ river.
Bako was having none of it and promptly shoved his stack of 39,000 in the middle. Morris spent some time in the tank before he called with the covering stack.
Bako stood up as he tabled Q♠10♣ for queen-high. Morris had K♠K♣ for an overpair, and he raked in the huge pot to end up with over double the starting stack.
Catching the tail end of a pot between Alejandro Sanchez in the big blind and Daniele Antoniazzi in the hijack, Sanchez checked the 5♥6♠3♠K♣8♣ river over to Antoniazzi.
Antoniazzi then made a relatively small bet of 2,500 into the pot of 11,000, which Sanchez called after some thought. Antoniazzi tabled K♠J♣ for top pair.
Sanchez tapped the table and eventually mucked his cards to send the pot to his opponent.
Picking up the action on a J♠4♣3♣K♥ turn, Alan Chrzaszcz checked from the small blind and Terelle Tavares followed suit under the gun. Owain Casey then bet 2,000 into the pot of 3,700, which Chrzaszcz raised to 5,000.
Tavares called, and so did Casey. The 6♥ was placed on the river, prompting Chrzaszcz to pile in a hefty bet of 16,000. Tavares called after some thought, and Casey put in chips as well for a three-way showdown.
Chrzaszcz tabled 3♠3♥ for a flopped set, and both opponents mucked their cards in defeat.

Andrew Weir open-raised to 1,100 under the gun. Jack Dean called in late position, and Stephen Lockett defended his big blind. The 10♦10♣6♥ flop was checked to Dean, who fired a bet of 1,200.
Both opponents called to the 3♥ turn, where Lockett promptly led out for 3,500. Weir and Dean both quickly folded, shipping the pot to Lockett uncontested.
Declan Mcmanus in the cutoff and Richard Wells on the button had created a sizable pot of 6,000 when they arrived on the 5♥4♠J♠6♠2♦ river. Mcmanus added 2,000 extra with a bet, which Wells raised to 6,000.
After some thought, Mcmanus called. Wells tabled A♠3♠ for the nut flush, and Mcmanus could only shake his head as he showed 5♠2♠ for a lower flush.
