Shaun Simmons: A♦Q♦ 
Dave Ledeman: 10♠10♥

Action picked up on the river with a sizable pot brewing in a hand between Richard Perkerewicz who was under the gun and Dave Ledeman who was on the button.
With about 250,000 in the middle and the board reading 2♣A♣9♣A♥8♥, Perkerewicz checked and Ledeman fired out a bet of 100,000, prompting Perkerewicz to go into the tank.
"Miss your club draw or what?" asked Ledeman.
"Nope, didn't have a club draw," replied Perkerewicz as he eventually decided to give up his hand.

The player in the cutoff raised to 18,000 and Shaun Simmons three-bet jammed for 93,000 in the big blind to put himself at risk. The cutoff made the call.
Shaun Simmons: 9♣9♦
Cutoff: A♥9♥
Simmons was in the lead with his pair of nines until the dealer put out the A♦7♦8♦ flop, with the cutoff pairing his ace.
Simmons still had outs with a nine or a diamond, and he was pleased to see the 3♦ fall on the turn. The meaningless Q♠ landed on the river to complete the board.

PokerNews arrived at the table with cards already on their backs with Miles Barnum all in and at risk against Keith Doering.
Miles Barnum: Q♣Q♠
Keith Doering: K♣K♠
It was a cooler for Barnum and he would need some help to stay alive. That help wasn't found as the board ran out 8♦3♥2♠5♦4♠ and he was sent to the rail after a rollercoaster of a day.
