Brendan Shiller raised to 2,200 from middle position only to see a three-bet of 9,000 come from Maz Keshavarzi two seats to his left. Shiller verified the amount before making the call to see a 5♣2♦6♣ flop.
Shiller checked over to Keshavarzi who continued with a bet of 20,000. Shiller, sitting on just over 14,000, called off to put himself at risk and send both players to a runout.
Brendan Shiller: 10♣8♣
Maz Keshavarzi: A♦10♥
The 9♦ turn card kept Keshavarzi well in the lead, but that all changed when the J♣ spiked the river, stealing the pot Keshavarzi as Shiller secures a full double.

There was an early position open by Daniel Balilti to 2,400 before the action folded all the way around to Matt Affleck who defended his big blind and they were off to a flop heads up.
The 3♦4♣9♥ flop hit the felt and action checked through to a 5♦ turn. Affleck opted to take the betting lead and put out a sizing of 2,500. Balilti called.
The river rolled off a K♥ and Affleck took a moment before betting a single big blind for 1,200. Balilti went into the tank and after about a minute he raised to 7,000. Affleck mucked and Balilti confidently tabled the A♣10♣ for just ace-high.

The action folded all the way to Brendan Shiller on the button who raised to 2,600. The small blind folded and action was on Matt Affleck in the big blind who took a moment and then put in a three-bet to 10,500.
Shiller snap called and the dealer laid out the K♥10♣A♣ flop. Affleck thought it over for about a minute and then checked. Shiller took his time and then bet out for 13,000.
Despite the aggression preflop, Affleck couldn't put in anymore chips and folded.
Shiller offered some info and said that Affleck could see one card. He flipped over the 10♦ and Affleck gave a nod before moving on to the next hand.

Ryne "Pyzza" Teston raised from late position to 3,700 and found callers in both the cutoff and big blind before seeing the flop come 5♥6♠5♠.
Teston continued with a bet of 4,000. The player in the cutoff called before the button folded, prompting the dealer to burn and turn the A♦.
Teston checked over to the cutoff who put out a bet of 5,500 only to see Teston almost beat him into the pot with a snap check-raise all-in.
The cutoff tanked for about a minute before tapping the table and releasing his hand. Teston turned up the 8♠7♠, showing eight high with an open-ended straight flush draw and letting his opponent know that he was on the semi-bluff.
