A player under the gun raised to 6,500, and Jason Coleman in early position three-bet all in for his stack of 15,200. It folded back to the under the gun player who made the call to put Coleman at risk.
Jason Coleman: Q♠9♦
Under the Gun: A♠10♠
It was a fair fight with Coleman needing to improve past his opponents ace high, and he did just that when the board ran out K♥J♦9♣9♥2♣ to take the pot with his trip nines and double up.
A player in the cutoff raised to 1,200, and when it folded to the small blind, he three-bet to 5,600. He was called by the big blind Garrett Smith and the original raiser.
All three players checked to the river when the board ran out 6♦J♠9♠A♥5♥. The small blind then bet out 7,000, before Smith raised to 21,000. The cutoff folded, as did the small blind to give the pot to Smith.

Forrest Kollar raised to 2,500 from under the gun, which was called by the player in the cutoff, the small blind Taylor Holcomb, and the big blind.
All four players checked the Q♦8♣2♠ flop, to see the 2♦ on the turn. Holcomb then led out for a bet of 3,000, which got the big blind to fold, Kollar made the call, and the cutoff folded as well.
The river was the 4♦ and Holcomb bet out 11,000. Kollar debated his decision for nearly a minute, before electing to fold and give the pot to Holcomb.

Action folded to Eldon Penn on the button, and he raised to 3,500, which was called by Brandon Elmore in the small blind.
The flop came 4♥8♣10♠ and Elmore check-called a bet of 6,000 from Penn.
Both players checked the 7♥ on the turn, which brought the 9♦ on the river. Elmore then bet out 5,000, which got a quick fold from Penn to give Elmore the pot.
Michael Johns opened the action with a raise to 3,000 from the cutoff and was called by the big blind Iman Alsaden.
Both players checked the 5♥K♣4♠ flop, which brought the Q♥ on the turn. Alsaden then bet out 2,000, before Johns raised to 7,000. Alsaden made the call.
The river was the 7♦ and after Alsaden checked to Johns, he moved all in for 16,000. Alsaden wasted little time and muck their hand to give the pot to Johns.
