A player in the hijack opened to 5,500 and Sandra Cotescu called in the cutoff. The big blind also came along.
On the A♠J♦J♥ flop, the big blind checked, the hijack bet 6,000, Cotescu called, and the big blind folded.
A 10♦ on the turn saw the hijack bet the same amount of 6,000, which again Cotescu called to see the 9♣ drop on the river. The hijack, checked, and Cotescu sized up with a bet of 60,000. After thinking for a while, the hijack tossed in the call.
Cotescu showed A♦J♣ for a flopped full house, and the hijack's A♣10♥ was no good.

On a flop of Q♠5♣K♣, Andrey Litvinov had shoved around 27,000 and been called by both Georges Ghossan and Dori Yacoub.
A 10♣ dropped on the turn and after Ghossan checked, Yacoub fired 25,000, which was enough to make Ghossan fold.
Andrey Litvinov: 5♠5♦ 
Dori Yacoub: Q♣J♣
Litvinov had flopped a set, but Yacoub turned a flush to take the lead. A board-pairing river is what Litvinov needed to survive, but he couldn't find it as the 6♥ completed the runout.
