: Blinds 300/500, 500 ante
Reza De Bruyns raised on the button and was only called by Jared Luyt in the big blind. They checked all the way to the Q♥8♠2♠K♦6♠ river on which Luyt checked. De Bruyns bet 3,500 and Luyt sighed "did you hit? I can't even call you, I only have ace-high" before exposing the A♣7♣.
De Bruyns only revealed the A♦ before collecting the pot.
One table over, Jared's father Chris Luyt is also in the mix.

Reza De Bruyns opened to 1,000 and received three callers to the A♥A♦2♣ flop. It checked to Warren Abrahams who declared "I told you she was gonna give me the nuts. Not a set this time, but the nuts again," before he bet 4,000. Only De Bruyns check-called and did so again for 10,000 on the 5♣ turn.
After the 9♦ river, De Bruyns pushed all-in and Abrahams snap-called to show his A♣5♠ for aces full of fives. The A♠7♥ of De Bruyns were briefly shown.
"I told you, always the nuts. She is the most beautiful and best dealer in the world," Abrahams declared.
