The player under the gun limped in before calling Michael Campbell's 5,600 all in raise from middle position, bringing the action heads-up.

Michael Campbell: {k-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}
Opponent: {6-Spades}{6-Hearts}

Campbell had his opponent crushed and the {q-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{3-Spades}{a-Diamonds} runout secured his much-needed double.

Roger Johnson Calls Correctly

After no initial preflop raise, six players called to see a {5-Spades}{8-Hearts}{q-Spades} flop hit the felt. Action was checked to a player in early position who fired out 2,700 and only Roger Johnson called from late position.

The {q-Clubs} turn paired the board and Johnson called the 4,000 bet from his opponent, then did the same for 10,000 after the {a-Hearts} completed the board on the river.

Johnson's opponent showed {a-Clubs}{8-Clubs} but they were way behind as Johnson rolled over {q-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} to win the pot with a full house.

A series of raises brought three players to the {q-Spades}{6-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} flop for 7,000 a piece. The big blind player tossed in their last 1,200 and Justin Melton isolated from the cutoff.

Justin Melton: {7-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}
Big Blind Player: {k-Hearts}{k-Spades}

Melton took the lead after flopping a set and neither the {5-Hearts} turn nor the {10-Diamonds} river changed a thing.
