After a preflop raise to 12,000 from Brian Winter and a call from Kenneth Nicoletti, the two went to a flop of 8♣2♠9♣. Winter continued for 8,500 and Nicoletti made the call to see the 2♥ on the turn.
Winter then decided to check, and Nicoletti used this opportunity to fire out for 15,000, which prompted a quick fold from Winter.

On a heads-up flop of 2♥J♣9♣, Vince Keokham and another player got all the chips into the middle, with Keokham at risk.
Vince Keokham: K♣Q♥
Opponent: Q♣10♥
Keokham was surprised to find himself ahead with his king high, he just needed to fade a king or an eight that would make his opponent's straight. Luckily for him, the 10♦ on the turn immediately gave him the nut straight. The board was completed with the brick 7♦ and he was awarded the pot for a double up.

On the heads-up flop of K♦9♣2♥, Andrew Wittmer bet 6,000 after a check from his opponent, who made the call to see the 6♣ peel on the turn.
Wittmer's opponent checked once more, only to call another bet of 10,000 and they continued to the river 5♠.
After yet another check, Wittmer fired again for 10,000, and after some tanking, his opponent made the call.
Wittmer then showed A♠K♥ for a pair of aces, king-kicker, and that was good enough as his opponent quickly mucked.

On a three-way flop of J♠A♦5♦, Tavish Margers led for 8,000 and was then raised to 21,000 by Alex Nurding. Margers then responded by moving all in for a total of 97,500 and Nurding went into the tank.
After close to a minute, Nurding tossed in the chips to make the huge call and the cards were tabled, with Margers at risk.
Tavish Margers: A♥J♦
Alex Nurding: A♠5♠
Nurding, whos flopped two pair was in second place, would need to hit a five to win the pot, bu the runout of K♥Q♦ did not do it and the massive pot was shipped over to Margers for a bug double.
