After Spike Smith limped in from under the gun, Brent Slaubaugh raised to 2,000 in the hijack and was called by Jack Young on the button, Halie Flack in the big blind, and Smith.
The flop came 2♣2♦7♦ and Smith led out for 4,000. Slaubaugh then moved all in for 13,000, and Young and Flack both got out of the way. "Alright, I fold," Smith said as he tossed the 7♥ into the muck. Slaubaugh showed him Q♣Q♦ as he took the pot.

: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Clayton McAllister raised to 1,000 in early position and Ross Lebo called in the hijack. The cutoff then three-bet to 3,000, and both opponents called.
The cutoff moved all in for his last 3,500 on the 9♦8♦J♥ flop, and only Lebo called.
All-In Player: A♠J♠ 
Ross Lebo: Q♥10♥
Lebo had flopped the nut straight, and the board ran out 6♥7♦ to send his opponent to the rail.
At another table, Wesley Weible then scored a double knockout and tablemate Joshua Baldwin filled in the details. According to Baldwin, Kent Larson shoved for 15,000 with two jacks, another opponent reshoved with ace-king, while Weible had both opponents covered and at risk with two sixes. The flop came ace-king, but Weible spiked a six on the turn to make a set and send both opponents to the rail.
"From worst to first," Baldwin said.

Donald Conger and Kent Larson went to the turn on a board of J♥10♦J♦7♦ when Larson bet 6,000 from under the gun. Conger put in the 6,000 from the big blind, then announced all in. "If I'm not allowed, that's okay," he said to the dealer, who ruled he had to just call Larson's bet.
The river was the J♠. "I'm going to fix my mistake," Conger said as he shoved for 15,000, and Larson gave up his hand. "Just quads," Conger announced, showing Q♦J♣ as he took the pot.
