Frank Stepuchin raised to 1,100 under the gun, the player on the button flatted, and Osmin Dardon called in the big blind.

The flop of 4♣J♠6♥ checked through to the J♦ turn where Dardon led out for 2,000. Stepuchin called and the button folded.

Both players checked on the 2♥ river.

"No pair," said Dardon.

Stepuchin turned over A♠K♠ for ace-high to claim the pot.

Level 5 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante

Phillip Latimer raised to 1,100 under the gun and was called by the player in middle position and the player in the cutoff. Joshua Yoon then three-bet to 6,500 in the big blind and only Latimer called.

On the A♦10♥4♦ flop, Yoon checked and Latimer bet 3,500. With only 9,200 behind, Yoon took some time to think through his decision before tossing his cards into the muck.

Latimer tabled J♠J♣ to show that he didn't have an ace.
