Action was heads up to the 6♣Q♠K♣J♣7♣ river, where Michael Carbajal took come time before announcing all in for 21,000 from the small blind.
That put the decision on Dora Coyle in middle position, who announced a call.
"I just have two pair," said Carbajal as he tabled Q♣J♥. That was good to claim the double-up, as Coyle counted out the call and slid the chips across the table.
Gionna Lee opened to 800 from under the gun, and Tony Hirzel called in middle position. Two others came along to the A♠K♠Q♠ flop, where Lee checked.
Hirzel fired a bet of 1,000, with only Lee calling to the J♥ turn. Another check from Lee was followed by a bet of 2,500 from Hirzel.
Lee called, and led out for 12,000 on the 9♠ river. After taking some time, Hirzel stuck in the call. Lee revealed 10♠10♦ for a flush, taking down the pot as Hirzel mucked.

Jackson Morisey raised to 1,200 in middle position, and Barbara Sargent called on the button. Both players declined to bet the 9♣9♦J♣ flop, with action repeating on the J♥ turn.
Morisey checked one last time after seeing the A♥ fall on the river, and Sargent fired 2,500 into the middle. That produced a fold from Morisey, and the pot was sent to Sargent.
Isaac Appelt led out for 3,200 in the small blind on the 10♣10♥K♥ flop, and Michael Carbajal tossed out a raise to 10,000 from under the gun. Appelt called and checked the 7♠ turn.
Carbajal fired another 10,000, seeing a call from Appelt. Both players then checked down the 9♥ river.
Appelt tabled J♠J♣, while Carbajal turned over 4♠4♣ for an inferior two pair.
"Nice hand," said Carbajal as Appelt raked in a healthy pot.
