Marius-Valentin Popescu raised to 500 from under the gun on the short handed table. Egemen Orhan reraised to 1,300 and Popescu called.
The flop came 3♥8♦8♥. Popescu checked, Orhan bet 2,000 and Popescu called. The turn was the 5♠ and both players checked.
The river came the K♠. Popescu checked again, Orhan flicked in a bet of 3,000 and Popescu called. Orhan had A♣K♥ for two pair, kings with the eights on board. Popescu had A♠A♥ for a higher two pair with his aces to win the pot.
Jonas Hackenberg raised to 300 from the button and Simon East called in the big blind.
The flop came 2♦J♥Q♦. East checked, Hackenberg bet and East called. The turn was the A♣. East checked again and Hackenberg bet 1,000, which East called.
The river was the 6♥. East checked and Hackenberg bet a third street. He meant to make it 2,000 but the bet was ruled as 1,000. East called and players showed their cards.
East had Q♥3♣ for a pair of queens and Hackenberg had A♠9♣ for a pair of aces to win the pot.
Action was on the turn on a board of 6♣10♥10♦8♥ and the pot was already inflated. Ronald Dominguez checked to his opponent and David Opdebeeck fired out a bet of 9,000, which Dominguez called.
The river was the Q♠. Dominguez pushed a stack into the middle, which was worth 15,000, putting Opdebeeck all in. Opdebeeck quickly made the call.
Opdebeeck tabled A♥A♠ for two pair, aces with the tens on board. Dominguez, however, turned over 10♣10♠ for the absolute nuts with quad tens. He won the pot and doubled his stack, sending Opdebeeck to an early exit.
