Matthew Kehoe raised to 1,200 in the cutoff, Ervin Bjerga flatted on the button, and Joshua Karnik defended in the big blind.
The flop of 10♣3♠2♣ checked through to the 4♠ turn. Karnik led out with a bet of 1,600, Kehoe folded, and Bjerga raised to 3,300. Bjerga thought for a brief moment before tossing his cards into the muck.
The next hand, Bjerga raised to 1,200 in the cutoff and WSOP bracelet winner John Reading three-bet to 4,000 in the big blind. Bjerga made the call.
The flop came A♠K♦6♥ and Reading continued with a bet of 2,200. Bjerga then bumped it up to 5,500, prompting Reading to let go of his hand.

After being down to just 800 chips, Jory Barker has spun it back up to 20,000 after a wild orbit of poker.
First he was forced all in from the big blind and managed to double up to 1,900. Shortly after that, he went all in blind and received four callers. One of his opponents had flopped a king-high flush, but to Barker's surprise, he rivered the nut flush having the ace of clubs in his hand when the fourth club fell on the river.
If that wasn't enough excitement, Barker then found himself all in with ace-queen against ace-five to double up once more to hit the 20,000 mark. His run of cards in the past half-hour or so is a perfect example of the term "chip and a chair".
