: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Amin Riyazati opened to 12,000 on the button and found one caller in Timon Prill in the big blind.
Prill check-called an 11,000 bet from Riyazati on the 5♠7♥Q♥ flop, but check-folded facing a 35,000 bet from Riyazati on the 5♥ turn.
Riyazati turned over 7♦7♠ for a full house before collecting the pot.
"C'mon, have something!" Riyazati said.
"I had ace-high," Prill responded.

Action folded around to the blinds, where Armon van Wijk called from the small blind and Ken Bolton checked his option in the big blind.
Bolton called a 6,000 bet from van Wijk on the K♦10♦J♣ flop and then bet 10,000 after being checked to on the J♠ turn. Van Wijk called.
The 8♥ completed the board and van Wijk checked a final time. Bolton pulled 76,500 from his stack and placed it into the middle for a massive overbet.
Van Wijk looked like he was seriously considering calling, but eventually thought better of it and laid his hand down.
"I didn't have a pair," Van Wijk said.
"Neither did I!" Bolton replied.

Albert Ng opened to 10,000 from the hijack and was three-bet to 35,000 by Ken Bolton on the button. It was folded back to Ng, who four-bet to 100,000. Bolton thought a while before announcing he was all in and Ng snap-called all in for 362,000 total.
Albert Ng: A♠A♣
Ken Bolton: Q♣Q♦
Ng found himself on the right side of a cooler, and the 8♣3♥6♠7♣5♠ runout came sweat-free to award Ng the huge pot.

Ling Liu raised to 8,000 on the button and Higor Seibel defended his big blind.
Seibel check-called a 6,000 bet from Liu on the A♥10♦3♣ flop and checked again after the 5♦ fell on the turn.
Liu wagered 15,000 and Seibel mulled over his options before opting to raise to 35,000. Liu raised again to put Seibel all in for 49,000 total and Seibel called off his remaining stack.
Higor Seibel: A♣3♥
Ling Liu: A♠6♥
Seibel was ahead with two pair, but would need to fade being counterfeited or Liu hitting a six.
The 2♣ river came safe for Seibel and he doubled up.
