Marlin Leidholm raised to 3,000 in early position and picked up one caller before the hijack moved all in for 15,000. The button reshoved for 25,000, Leidholm also shoved, and the rest of the table folded.
Hijack: 9♣9♠
Button: A♠10♥
Marlin Leidholm: K♦K♣
The button loudly clapped his hands together as the A♣ fell in the window, but it was followed by K♠7♠ as Leidholm hit a set. The rest of the board ran out 4♦9♥ and Leidholm sent both opponents to the rail.

"I would like to flop quads," Caden Coleman said as he and Justin Smith went to a flop of 7♦5♦6♥. Smith then bet 10,000 from the hijack and Coleman called under the gun.
Both players checked the K♥ turn. Coleman then led out for 23,000 on the 4♥ river, and Smith called.
Coleman showed J♥10♣ for a bluff, while Smith had Q♣Q♥ to win the pot.
Despite dropping that pot, Coleman has built his stack up past 200,000.

A player in the small blind moved all in for 25,000 on a flop of 5♠2♠K♦ and Mark Britton called in early position.
All-in Player: K♣10♣
Mark Britton: A♠4♠
The at-risk player was ahead with top pair, but Britton had straight and flush draws. The turn was the 2♥, while the 7♠ river gave Britton his flush to send his opponent to the rail.
Britton was still stacking up his chips from that hand when he raised to 3,500 under the gun. Tim McFarland then shoved for 30,000 in the big blind, and Britton called.
Tim McFarland: A♠A♥
Mark Britton: 9♠9♣
McFarland had picked up aces and was a favorite to double up. The board ran out Q♥10♠3♠K♦10♦, and Britton handed over some of his newfound chips.

"You got it," Zietz said, showing A♠9♠ for a missed flush draw. Anderson turned over K♠Q♥ for top pair as he took in the pot.
