St. John Takes Down a Small One
On blinds of 450/900 the board read 
and Michael “UFOLDIWIN” St. John bet 7,800 into a pot that was the same amount.
"njpokeraa" thought for a moment but in the end, they let their hand go, sending an easy pot to St. John.

"123Weeeeeeeee" and "Got_Steam" Flip
On blinds of 500/1,000 "Got_Steam" and "123Weeeeeeeee" moved all of their chips into the middle with "123Weeeeeeeee" at risk of elimination.
"123Weeeeeeeee": 
"Got_Steam": 
The classic flip took a sudden shift in one direction when an 
flop landed on the table. An 
turn and 
river changed not a thing as "123Weeeeeeeee" secured the pot for a double.
