Jay Ginsbach limped-in from under the gun and then called the 1,500 raise Brad Sailor made from middle position.
The two players watched a 
flop hit the felt and both players checked bringing the 
turn.
Ginsbach led out for 2,300 and Sailor called to see the 
complete the board on the river. Ginsbach check-called Sailor's 6,100 bet and the two hands were revealed.
Sailor rolled over 
for the jack-high straight but it was no good as Ginsbach flopped the queen-high straight 
and scooped the pot.

Nissar Quraishi was all in preflop for 11,000 from under the gun and only the player sitting directly to his left called.
Nissar Quraishi: 
Opponent: 
It was a classic race with Quraishi looking to connect with either of his two overs and he did after the 
flop paired his king.
The 
turn gave Quraishi a little sweat as it gave his opponent a Broadway draw but the 
river completed the board and secured his double-up.
