Barbara Akemi limped in from the small blind, and Manuel Ferrari checked in the big blind. The duo checked through the entire 10♣10♠7♣8♠J♦ board. Akemi showed A♠8♦ for two pair, winning the pot against Ferrari's A♣4♣.
The next hand, Akemi raised to 200,000 on the button with Q♠8♠. Michael Dwyer defended in the big blind, after which the 10♥6♦J♣ flop checked through.
Dwyer checked again on the A♠ turn, prompting Akemi to take a stab with a bet of 325,000.
Dwyer quickly mucked his cards, sending a second pot Akemi's way.
