On the J♣Q♠10♣ flop, with approximately 4,800 already in the pot, PokerStars Ambassador Maria Konnikova executed a check-raise from middle position, raising to 3,900 after Christophe Morbee's initial bet of 1,300 from the button. Morbee opted to call.
The turn revealed the A♣, prompting Konnikova to swiftly put 10,000 into the pot, forcing Morbee all-in with just 10,500 remaining. Clearly displeased with the situation, Morbee deliberated before ultimately committing his chips. Konnikova, naturally, made the call.
Christophe Morbee: 10♥10♦
Maria Konnikova: K♥9♥
With Konnikova holding a flopped straight, Morbee needed help from another ten or a card to complete a pair for a full-house. However, the 2♠ on the river failed to provide the assistance he needed, and Morbee was eliminated from the tournament.
"You already got me on the flop," Morbee remarked as he departed from the table.

Following an early position raise from Jason Rocha, Matthew Valeo flat called, then Samir Rahal executed a three-bet to 2,700 from the small blind. Both Rocha and Valeo called the raise and action went to the flop.
The cards were dealt Q♣2♦8♥ and all three players opted to check it back. The turn was the 10♣ and Rahal placed out a bet of 3,100. Valeo was the only player to call the bet.
The river came the 8♦ and Rahal led out again. Valeo weighed up his options before finally making the call. It was a hero call with a small pair, 4♣4♥. Rahal turned over A♦K♣ for a bluff and Valeo won the pot.
