There was heads-up action between Loki Abboud from the small blind and Mike Schneider from the big blind.
The board read ![]()

Schneider raised to 5,000 and sent Abboud into the tank. After a few minutes, Abboud mucked ![]()
face up.

Dennis Stevermer raised to 400 from early position and Joe Foss defended his big blind to see a ![]()
![]()
flop. Foss too the initiative and led out for 400, which Stevermer called.
The
turn saw Foss bet another 400 and again Stevermer called.
When the
double paired the board on the river, Foss upped his bet to 900 and Stevermer wasted little time in making the call.
Foss sheepishly showed the ![]()
and Stevermer then tabled the ![]()
for the win.
After a 600 initial raise, three players saw a ![]()
![]()

The
river was checked by both players and Matakis tabled ![]()

to scoop the pot with a pair of kings.
