Nick Marchington raised to 1,300 in middle position, which only Andrew Dickinson called in the big blind.
The dealer provided an 8♥3♣4♣ flop, and Dickinson checked. Marchington continued for 2,200 before Dickinson responded with a check-raise to 7,000. After assessing the situation, Marchington three-bet to 15,400, which quickly shook Dickinson out of the pot.

Fulvio Preziosi raised to 1,200 from early position and Chubak Asanov called from the next seat. David Wintersberger squeezed to 3,000 from the hijack, which Preziosi and Asanov both called.
All three were happy to check the J♣K♠4♥ flop before the 3♠ rolled off on the turn. Preziosi led out for 9,500, and only Asanov called.
The 5♦ completed the board, prompting Preziosi to shove, covering Asanov.
Asanov quickly called off his stack of about 20,000, but was shown the bad news as Preziosi tabled K♣J♦ for two pair. Asanov could only show A♥K♦ for a pair of kings, sending all of his chips Preziosi's way.
