On a flop of {a-Spades}{4-Spades}{5-Spades}, Akin Tuna bet 11,000 and big blind Juha Helppi check-raised to 35,000. Tuna used a time extension then jammed for about 50,000 more and Helppi called.

Juha Helppi: {a-Hearts}{4-Clubs}
Akin Tuna: {a-Diamonds}{8-Spades}

The {k-Hearts} turn was a brick for Helppi but the {3-Spades} river gave him a winning flush.

Thomas Boivin
Thomas Boivin

Guenter Castro was standing up and tabling {j-Spades}{j-Clubs} for the nuts when we arrived, but he still had a big sweat against {9-Hearts}{8-Hearts} held by Thomas Boivin on {2-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{10-Hearts}. Boivin was all in for 75,500 and missed on the {9-Clubs} turn, making a meaningless pair. The {q-Diamonds} river gave him a straight though, and Castro sent over nearly all of his chips.
