Vincent Facquet opened to 2,500 from early position and both Cedric Cavalier in the hijack and Michael Anty in the big blind called.
The flop came 10♥7♣6♣ and action checked to Cavalier, who bet out 5,000, which only Anty called. On the 9♦ turn Anty checked again and Cavalier sized to 7,000, which Anty called.
The 4♠ completed the board and both players checked to a showdown. Anty rolled over Q♣9♣ for a pair of nines and missed flush draw, but was no good against the 7♥7♠ for Cavalier whose flopped set scored the pot.

Virgil Grecu opened to 2,500 from under the gun and only Simon Langer made the call in the small blind.
The dealer fanned out a flop of 4♠3♦3♠ and Langer checked to Grecu who continued for 1,500. Langer elected to check-raise to 4,500 and Grecu called.
On the Q♣ turn, play slowed down with a check from both players to the 2♦ river. Langer checked again and Grecu quickly tossed out a large bet of 22,000. Langer went deep in the tank, but after close to a minute, decided on a fold and the pot was sent to Grecu.
