Both players checked the 9♣ turn, and McCairns then bet 14,000 on the 9♥ river. Simpson took a minute before calling, and McCairns showed Q♠J♠ for two pair to win the pot.
At another table, Peter Stewart bet 11,000 from the small blind on a flop of 4♥10♣Q♣ and Vivian Saliba called in the hijack.
Stewart slowed down and checked the A♦ turn, and Saliba bet 17,000. Stewart called to the 5♥ river, where Saliba bet 57,000. Stewart quickly folded this time.
