Steve Wilkie

Swadeep Mishra raised to 2,500 from middle position and found three callers which included Patrik Hoffman from the cutoff, along with Steve Wilkie from the big blind.

The flop came {k-Hearts}{a-Clubs}{8-Clubs} and Wilkie check-called the 6,000 continuation bet from Mishra while the other two players folded.

The {3-Spades} turn was checked by both players and they did the same after the {9-Diamonds} completed the board on the river.

"Your ace is good," said Wilkie as he rolled over {k-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} for a pair of kings.

"I don't have an ace," Mishra replied as he mucked his hand giving Wilkie the pot.

The hijack player open-jammed for roughly 13,000 and Jeffrey Elseman looked them up from the small blind.

Opponent: {a-}{k-}
Jeffrey Elseman: {4-Diamonds}{4-Spades}

Elseman was ahead with his made hand, and nothing changed after the {q-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{5-Spades} flop.

The turn however, came the {k-Hearts} putting Elseman's opponent out in front but the dealer then dropped the {4-Clubs} on the river and secured Elseman the pot.
