A player on the button opened to 1,500, and Frank Loffreno three-bet to 4,500 from the small blind. The button four-bet to 12,000, and Loffreno called.
The flop came 5♥8♦10♠, and Loffreno check-called a 7,000 bet from his opponent.
The two players checked the 5♣ turn, leading to the K♥ river. Loffreno shoved for around 50,000, which was enough to force a fold from his opponent.

Keith Becker opened to 1,100 from middle position, Hyun Cho called from the cutoff, and Nunzio Russo defended from the big blind.
The flop came A♥5♣10♠. Russo checked, Becker bet 1,200, and both Cho and Russo called.
Becker continued for 4,000 when checked to on the J♠ turn, and this time only Russo called.
On the 6♣ river, Russo checked and Becker bet 7,000. Russo, who was covered, waited about five seconds before shoving for 35,300.
"I call. You have king-queen?" Becker asked his opponent before tabling A♠J♣ for top two pair.
"King-queen. Straight," Russo confirmed, tabling the nuts with K♦Q♣ to secure a full double up at Becker's expense.
Meanwhile at another table, Saint Hung, who was chip leading at Level 2, was recently eliminated. The majority of his chips appear to have gone to his former tablemate Marguerite Spagnuolo, who currently is leading the Day 1b field with a bit less than three starting stacks.
