Daniel Lee: K♥Q♥

Calvin had Daniel dominated before the flop landed 8♥6♥2♣ to give Daniel a flush draw. Calvin was still ahead after the 2♦ turn, but the K♣ river gave Daniel a pair of kings to double through Calvin.
Kristen Foxen was on the button in a heads-up pot against Myles Mullaly in the big blind.

The 7♦ river completed the board and Mullaly bet a sizable 20,000. Foxen shuffled her chips and took a sip from her Starbucks cup before tossing her cards into the muck.
