Conor Bergin raised to 2,500 from under the gun. Michael Kane three-bet to 9,500, a virtual all in with just 900 chips behind. Bergin put him in for the rest and Kane called.
Michael Kane: A♠Q♥
Conor Bergin: A♥4♥
The flop landed K♦6♦6♠ and a neutral player at the table exclaimed, "That's a good chopping flop!" Sure enough, the A♦ turn brought a likely chop, until the K♣ put Kane's kicker back into play and he doubled up.

Action folded around to Jianwei Lin on the button who opened to 2,500. Leonardo Patacconi defended the big blind.
The Q♥J♥7♣ flop was checked around before Leonard Patacconi led the K♥ turn for 2,400. Lin called.
The 10♣ river was checked down and Patacconi tabled 6♥4♣ for a whiffed flush draw and air. Lin showed K♠3♠ for top pair.
"I don't even know why I played this" said Patacconi, adding "this pot was insignificant, single raise, small pot, you don't need to report this."

Anatoly Korochenskiy, in the big blind, found himself all in and at risk for his remaining 21,500, against Daniel Rezaei, in the small blind.
Anatoly Korochenskiy: A♥K♣
Daniel Rezaei: 2♠2♣
The first four cards seemed promising for Rezaei as it came 3♠5♠9♠Q♣. With Rezaei holding the only spade, Korochenskiy was reduced to four outs. However, the K♥ river was one of those outs and Korochenskiy doubled up.
