Nicholas Rigby bet 6,500, about the size of the pot, from the small blind against two opponents on a K♦A♠5♣2♣ board. The big blind folded and an early-position player called. On the 8♥, Rigby fired again for 14,000. That won him the pot without showdown in short order.

JB Wells lost a big hand for most of his chips then got the last 2,800 in under the gun. A player in the small blind called and showed 5♦5♠. Wells had 10♣9♠ for live overcards.
The K♠3♠A♣ didn't bring much for him. The board paired on the turn, but it was a 3x, leaving Wells mistakenly calling for an ace or king. One arrived on the Ax river, but aces and fives were still best.
"Good, I didn't want to win that hand anyway," Wells said with a smile. "I'll go get more chips."
