Four-way action to the 8♦10♠2♣5♥ turn saw Ngoc-Loan Duong check from the big blind. Brian Lau followed with a check in middle position, and Vincent Pistorino slid out a bet of 6,100 in the hijack.
Phillip Phan folded from the cutoff, as did Duong. Lau made the call, and checked again on the 4♥ river. After taking some time, Pistorino opted to check back.
Lau tabled 3♣3♦ for a pair of threes, taking down the pot as Pistorino mucked.
At a nearby table, Brian Luo got his stack in the middle with K♦10♦, but ran into the K♠K♥ of Christopher O'Neil to hit the rail.
