Action folded to Dennis Shamroni in the small blind, who raised to 1,500. George Niedzwicki made the call in the big blind, and the J♠Q♣3♦ flop hit the felt.

Shamroni continued by leadout out for 1,000, and Niedzwicki slid out a call. Both players then checked the 4♠ turn, with Shamroni checking once more on the 8♦ river.

Niedzwicki announced a bet of 2,000, taking down the pot as Shamroni let his hand go.

On a nearby table, Donald Himpele Jr opened to 1,100 from under the gun, with Charles Smith three-betting to 4,500 in middle position. Himpele Jr took a moment after action folded back around, opting to give his hand up as Smith collected the chips.
