On a flop of 6♥J♠2♦, David Shaw bet the pot of 16,000 and was called by Phu Vo to see the turn 7♥.
Vo then moved all in or his last 15,000 and the action was on Shaw.
"Well, I didn't come this far to fold," Shaw said and made the call to put Vo at risk.
Phu Vo: A♦J♦4♥5♠
David Shaw: Q♠8♠6♦5♦
Vo was well ahead with his pair of jacks and straight draw, but the river smacked down the 6♠ to give Shaw trips to win the pot, sending Vo to the rail.
Vo has since rebought and is back in the same exact seat with a fresh stack.

After some preflop back-and-forth, Christopher Chomenko had made it around 10,000 to go and was called by Joshua Barney to see a flop of Q♠K♠5♥. Chomenko then pushed all in for 10,900 and Barney called to put him at risk.
Christopher Chomenko: A♦A♠7♠3♠
Joshua Barney: K♥J♥9♣6♣
Chomenko was ahead with his aces, but the turn 9♥ immediately gave Barney two pair for the lead and the river 7♣ bricked to award him the pot and sent Chomenko to the rail.

After a preflop betting bonanza, all the chips between Ravee Sundara, Emmanuel McKenzie, and Jason Brice get into the middle, with Brice covering.
Ravee Sundara: 9♣7♠6♦5♠
Emmanuel McKenzie: J♣J♠9♠6♣
Jason Brice: A♥K♥Q♦J♦
McKenzie was surprisingly in the lead with his pocket jacks, but that didn't last long as the flop of A♠Q♠4♦ gave the best hand to Brice with top two pair. McKenzie did have a flush draw, but the runout of 10♦10♥ only improved Brice to Broadway to scoop the huge pot and eliminated both opponents.

On a mutli-way turn of 7♦3♠8♠7♥, David Mzareulov led out for 10,000 and was called by Karim Bevans while Ravee Sundara gets out of the way.
The river falls the Q♣ and Mzareulov bombs it for 30,000 but Bevans is a non-believer and he makes the call.
"Straight," Mzareulov says with a smile and turns over J♣10♦9♦6♣ for a busted straight draw while Bevans flips over A♠A♥8♣6♥ for just two pair to take down the substantial pot.
"I needed an ocean," Mzareulov laughed as all the chips were pushed Bevans' way.
