After the UTG player raised to 2,100 Brandon Seeley called from middle position, along with the players on the button and in the big blind.
The players checked to the turn on a board reading 
, and then checked around to Seeley, who put out a bet of 2,000.
That was just the right amount to get the other three players to release their cards and give Seeley some needed chips.

Mike Sloan raised to 2,000 from middle position, and it folded around to Jim Fondy who three-bet to 10,000.
The player on the button flat-called, the player in the small blind then shoved for 9,000, and Sloan made the call for the additional 8,000, which created a side pot.
After Sloan checked the 
flop, Fondy bet 17,000, which prompted folds from the player on the button and Sloan and sent the side pot to Fondy, who tabled 
for top set.
The player in the small blind then tabled 
, which showed he was drawing very thin.
The turn 
and river were of no help and sent him to the rail.
Meanwhile, Fondy collected the massive pot.

and Cathy Stahr was all in.
Stahr: 
Opponent: 
As it was told to us, Kamenjarin had raised preflop with 
and the other two players called. The player with fives bet the flop and only Stahr called.
