A player in the cutoff bet 5,000 on a flop of J♠8♣2♦ and was called by James Bequette on the button and another opponent in the small blind.

Bequette showed 2♣2♠ for a set, while his opponent had K♠Q♠ for straight and flush draws. The 10♥ fell on the river to give Bequette a full house, and he earned the double up.

A player in early position bet 3,000 on a flop of 5♥5♠5♣ and Jared Williams raised to 9,000 in the big blind. His opponent then moved all in for 22,000, and Williams called.
All-In Player: A♦10♠ 
Jared Williams: 9♦9♠
"I was hoping you didn't have a pair," the at-risk player said as Williams turned over his full house. The board ran out 7♥8♠, and Williams secured the knockout.
"That was a gift," another tablemate said.
"Usually I don't get gifts like that. I usually get someone to make a tight fold with sevens there," Williams replied.

Samrat Chaudhuri: A♥3♣
Opponent: A♣Q♦
Chaudhuri remained behind on the 6♣4♣6♦K♥ board, but he spiked the 3♥ on the river to make two pair and earn the double up.

Opponent: K♣K♥
Webster had flopped two pair to take the lead over his opponent's two kings, and the 7♠ turn improved him to a full house. The river was the 2♣, and Webster doubled up.
