On a flop of A♣7♠9♠, there was some back-and-forth betting between Taylor Howard and Dimas Martinez Jr. that ultimately led to a shove from Martinez and a quick call from Howard to put him at risk.
Dimas Martinez Jr. : A♠9♣ 
Taylor Howard : A♣K♥
Martinez Jr. held the lead with his flopped two-pair, and the runout of 5♦7♦ kept it that way for him to scoop the pot for a double while Howard was left short.
Level: 2
Blinds: 200/300
Ante: 300
On a multi-way flop of 7♥A♥5♣, Daniel Klein bet 700 after two checks and Mark Treinen called, but then Vinh Nguyen check-raised to 4,000.
One by one his three opponents tossed their cards into the muck and he was awarded the pot.
