Both players checked the 3♥ turn, which brought the 3♠ river.
The big blind chose to bet 15,000 on the river. Navarro gave it some thought before he flicked in the call to put himself all-in for 14,600.
His opponent showed K♣10♥ for king high. Navarro rolled over A♣8♣ for two pair to take down the pot.

Mahmoob Mahbabi and Anastasiia Knapp clashed in a pot on the flop of a board that read K♦Q♥A♠.
Mahmoob Mahbabi chose to go all-in for 26,300 and was called by Knapp to be at risk.
Mahmoob Mahbabi: K♥Q♣
Anastasiia Knapp: A♥3♥
Knapp had top pair, but Mahbabi had two pair to be ahead as they went to the turn and river.
The 9♣ turn did not change anything, and the J♥ river kept Mahbabi ahead to win the pot.

The hand began with a raise to 2,500 from a player on the button. Rip Fritzer called from the small blind, and Aiden Behr came along with a call from the big blind.
All three players checked through the 7♠J♣7♦ flop to bring the 3♦ turn.
Fritzer chose to bet 6,000, which garnered a fold from Behr but a call from the opponent on the button.
The 9♦ river was checked by both players.
Fritzer showed K♠J♠, which was enough as he dragged in the pot.

Aiden Behr began with a limp from the small blind before Angelo Mollame elected to raise to 3,500 out of the big blind. Behr responded with an all-in, and Mollame called for 18,500 effective to be at risk.
Angelo Mollame: A♣K♣
Aiden Behr: A♠K♠
The players chuckled when the hands were revealed, as the blinds were poised to split the pot more often than not as they went into the showdown.
The flop had other plans as Mollame flopped the nuts when it came Q♣9♣2♣ to give Mollame a flush. The 9♦ turn and the 2♠ river completed the board as Mollame secured the double in an unlikely spot.

The hand began with a limp from an early position player before the button chose to raise it to 5,000. Austin Lake made the call out of the big blind and the limper folded.
Lake checked the 8♦J♠5♠ flop before the button bet 3,500. Lake responded with a check-raise to 9,000 and was called by the button.
The 4♦ turn did not slow Lake down as he chose to go all-in for 15,400. His opponent gave it some thought before he made the call to put Lake at risk.
Austin Lake: A♦J♦
Opponent: 10♥8♥
Lake was well ahead and the river bricked out with a 3♣ to award Lake the double up.

The hand began with a raise to 2,500 from middle position before Eric Helton chose to jam for approximately 14,000 from the cutoff. He was called in the next seat over before the original raiser folded to put Helton at risk.
Eric Helton: A♣2♣
Opponent: 10♠10♦
Helton needed help, and the flop gave him some additional outs as it came 5♠4♠8♦.
The J♦ turn was not what Helton needed, but the A♦ river was a welcome sight as he improved to a better pair to stay alive.
