: Blinds 100/300, 300 ante
Ihor Popyk checked from the small blind on the A♦10♠A♣ flop and Ian Hamilton bet 500 from the hijack. Popyk check-raised to 2,000, which Hamilton called.
The 10♣ turn double-paired the board and Popyk checked. Hamilton bet around 2,500, and after a few moments, Popyk check-raised again to 6,000. Hamilton snap-folded, allowing Popyk to pull in the pot.

Paul Tait raised under the gun to 700 and Carlos Chadha Villamarin called from the next seat. Edgard Moreau squeezed to 2,100 on the button before Tait four-bet to 5,700. Villamarin and Moreau both came along with a call.
The 8♣2♥4♣ flop came down and Tait continued for 7,500. Villamarin called while Moreau got out of the way.
When the 10♠ landed on the turn, Tait shoved, covering Villamarin. With 18,000 left in his stack, Villamarin thought for about two minutes before putting in the call.
Carlos Chadha Villamarin: Q♣Q♠ 
Paul Tait: K♥K♦
Villamarin was pipped by one and needed to find one of the two remaining queens on the river to survive.
Instead, it was Tait who improved as the K♠ gave him a set, sending Villamarin to the rail and all of his chips Tait's way.

On a 3♥J♣9♥J♦ turn, Serghei Lisii bet 3,700 from the big blind. Hijack Fation Topalli then raised to 9,7000, and Lisii called. The 2♣ river was quickly checked to showdown, where Lisii tabled A♣J♥ for the winning hand.
Over at another table, Matthew Wantman, under the gun, had bet 14,400 into a pot of 16,000 on the K♣3♣2♠9♥J♠ river. Bogdan Jontulovic in middle position went deep into the tank, eventually calling the clock on himself.
He was given a 30-second countdown but folded before the timer reached zero.

More than 87% of the time, anyone who enters a $5 buy-in Spin & Go tournament online at PokerStars will be playing for a prize pool of either double or three times their buy-in. However, a recent $5 Spin & Go was special because the 240,000x jackpot multiplier was triggered, meaning the trio of entrants was playing for a gargantuan $1.2 million prize pool. The chances of that happening? 0.10 in a million!
PokerStars Spin & Go tournaments are a winner-takes-all when the prize pool multiplier is between 2x and 5x. The top two finishers win a slice of the pie when a 10x is hit, with anything 25x or larger paying out all three entrants.
When "KuCoH" of Belarus, Brazil's "malakaio300," and Denmark's "dillerfar19" bought into a $5 Spin & Go, the prize pool selector stopped on the ultra-rare 240,000x!

With 13,000 in the pot, Ivelin Kolev and Juan Marin arrived on the 6♦4♣2♥8♥9♦ river. After some thought, Kolev dropped in 17,500 from under the gun, sending Marin into the tank.
Some minutes passed before Marin let go of his cards, showing as he mucked J♠J♣.

Andrea Crobu made it 600 from middle position, with Tayfun Rodoplu calling on the button and Barbara Akemi defending from the big blind.
All three were happy to check the 6♦J♣10♠ flop, and the Q♥ landed on the turn. Akemi checked again, Crobu bet 900, and only Rodoplu called.
Crobu then fired out an overbet of 8,000 on the board-pairing 6♥ river, and Rodoplu quickly called.
Crobu sheepishly tabled an airball with K♦8♦, while Rodoplu showed K♣9♣ for a straight to take the pot.

Three-way to the 6♦2♥8♦J♦ turn, Thomas Rauhe checked from the small blind to Dan Wilson under the gun. Wilson bet 2,300 into the pot of 7,200, which Shusuke Kamada called in the hijack after taking a second look at his cards.
Rauhe tossed in calling chips as well, prompting the dealer to place the 5♦ on the river. This time, it checked to Kamada. After some thought, he bet 5,500, garnering two quick folds to rake in the chips uncontested.
