Six-way action to the 2♦8♠6♥ flop was trimmed in half, as Justin Adkins fired 1,000 in middle position and Cedric Carrigan raised to 3,000 in the hijack. John Blansett called, as did Adkins and the trio checked the 10♠ turn.
Another round of checks followed the 5♦ river, with Carrigan showing down A♣8♣ for a pair of eights. That was good enough to claim the pot, as Adkins and Blansett mucked.
Dayanna Ciabaton led out for 6,000 from the small blind on the 2♥7♠3♦ flop, and Blake Watson called in the hijack. The 9♣ turn saw Ciabaton fire again for 12,000, and Watson slid in another call.
Ciabaton checked the 8♦ river, where Watson opted to check back. Ciabaton showed A♠Q♦, while Watson tabled J♣J♦ to take down the pot.
