Curtis Ross moved all in preflop for his last 4,000 and was called by Christina Sharkady and Shawn Wilcox.
On the flop 2♠5♠9♣, Sharkady checked, Wilcox bet 6,000, and Sharkady folded to make it heads-up.
Curtis Ross: 9♦10♣
Shawn Wilcox: 6♥6♣
Wilcox was ahead with his pair of sixes, but the runout of 4♦10♣ gave Ross a pair of tens on the river to save him from elimination and he was awarded the pot for the triple-up.

On a three-way flop of 9♥J♣Q♣, there was around 3,800 in the middle when Justin Brassieur bet 2,000 after a check from Jeffrey Nowling. Peter Lockwood made the call while Nowling got out of the way and the two saw the turn J♥.
Brassieur fired again for 5,200 but this time met no resistance as Lockwood promptly tossed in his cards.
