A player in the hijack opened before the cutoff three-bet to 2,500. On the button, Jacob Mitich jammed for around 18,000, the hijack rejammed, and the cutoff folded.
Jacob Mitich: A♦J♦ 
Hijack: A♣K♣
Mitich was in rough shape with the inferior ace until the Q♦6♣4♦ flop gave him a flush draw. The 5♦ turn left the hijack drawing dead to the J♣ river as Mitich got there twice to secure the double.
Action was picked up on the turn with 3,600 in the middle in a hand between Michael Graham from the hijack and Christopher McGarrah on the button.
With the board reading K♠J♣9♣2♦, Graham fired for 2,200 and McGarrah put in the call.
On the 2♠ river, Graham slowed down with a check before McGarrah tossed a grey chip for a bet of 5,000. Graham would contemplate his decision for almost a minute before he called.
Christopher McGarrah: 5♦3♦
Michael Graham: A♦J♠
McGarrah went for the zero equity bluff while Graham called down correctly with second pair to win the pot.
Pablo Valdivieso from under the gun, Ricardo Gonzalez from early position, and Antonio De La Cruz from middle position were three-ways to the flop with 900 invested from each.
The A♦5♣4♥ flop checked through to the J♣ turn which saw Gonzalez stab for 1,300 and both opponents stuck in the call.
On the 4♦ river, the action checked to De La Cruz who weighed his options before he elected to check back. Valdivieso frustratingly tabled 6♣4♣ as he was hoping to get some river value with trip fours as he dragged a modest pot early.
