A player raised to 800 from the hijack before Isaac Cramer raised the price of admission to 2,400 from the small blind.
The hijack called and sent them to a 8♦6♠2♣ flop. Cramer bet 1,500, but faced a re-raise to 4,500 from the hijack. Cramer called.
Both players checked the A♣ turn to bring the 6♥ river.
Cramer put out a bet of 7,500. His opponent gave it some thought before he put in the call.
Cramer tabled A♥K♦ for aces up, which was enough to take down the pot as the hijack tapped the table and mucked his cards to award the pot to Cramer.
This hand was picked up with approximately 2,400 in the middle on a board that read 9♥2♦4♥. A player from the big blind opted to bet 1,300 before John Moore raised to 4,000 on the button.
Moore's opponent called, and the dealer put out the 3♥ on the turn. The big blind checked before Moore threw out a bet of 6,000. The big blind called.
Both players knuckled the 8♥ river.
Moore showed 10♠10♦ for a pair of tens, which was good enough as his opponent tabled K♣9♠ for a pair of nines to yield the pot to Moore.
