Following one limp, Jaryd Jardien raised to 1,200 and three opponents called including Theo Hunter. On the K♥K♦4♦ flop, Jardien continued for 1,500 when checked to and Hunter came along. Heads-up to the 10♦ turn, Jardien checked and Hunter's bet of 2,500 won the pot uncontested.

In a preflop raising war, a pot of 21,300 emerged and Stephen Courtney then faced the shove by Greg Tucker on the Q♦9♠7♠ flop for 17,300. Courtney bemoaned the spot but for a few seconds but called anyways with the covering stack.
Greg Tucker: A♥K♠
Stephen Courtney: K♥Q♣
Courtney was ahead and that remained the case throughout the 3♣ turn and J♥ river. Shortly after, Warren Zackey also lost his stack-ey and the second player bowed out from that table.

SM squeezed to 2,600 on the button and received no fewer than three callers before they checked the J♣4♣3♣ flop. On the 9♦ turn, Vishal Ghoorbin checked in the small blind and the big blind bet 5,500. Another opponent in early position called and SM then raised to 16,000.
Ghoorbin check-jammed and that forced out the first two opponents pretty quickly. SM went into a brief tank and then asked if Ghoorbin had a flush before he folded. Ghoorbin first flashed the A♣ before he also revealed the A♠ as well.

With 11,000 in the middle to the 8♦7♥3♣ flop, Jaime Vilela was all-in for 17,400. Damon Fine called with the superior stack and another player added "I am rooting for you" to Vilela when the cards were exposed.
Jaime Vilela: 10♠10♥
Damon Fine: Q♥Q♣
Things were not looking fine for Vilela as he needed running cards to a straight or one of the two tens in the deck. Sure enough, the turn brought the 10♦ and the 6♦ river secured his double-up.

One player limped in and Brad Sinnema raised to 1,200 for Peter Smith to call. Aleko Manganas in the big blind called and the limper folded. On the J♦9♦7♦ flop, Manganas bet 2,000 and won the pot, as Sinnema and Smith folded.
The latter bemoaned a very bad flop for his hand and mucked his cards with disgust, exposing the A♠ in the process.
