The pot held more than 7,000 on the J♥K♣9♣ flop, and Jason Lee moved all in for his last 4,600. Moustafa Khalil made the call on his left, and the hands were turned up.
Jason Lee: Q♦J♣ 
Moustafa Khalil: A♦K♦
Khalil revealed top pair, but the Q♠ turn gave Lee two pair. The 8♣ river was a blank, confirming Lee's double-up through Khalil.
Phil Truong opened to 1,200 in middle position, and Martin Nicol defended his big blind to see the 5♣3♦Q♦ flop. Nicol checked to Truong, who continued for 1,200.
The call was made, and Nicol checked again on the 3♠ turn. Truong fired 2,800, earning another call from Nicol. The 6♠ river saw both players check, and Truong tabled Q♣J♥ for two pair to claim the pot as Nicol mucked.
Adrian DiGirolamo raised to 1,200 in the cutoff before Shouzheng Hu tossed out a three-bet to 3,500 on the button. Van Mai called in the small blind, and DiGirolamo also came along to the 9♣J♣10♠ flop.
All three players declined to bet, and the dealer revealed the A♠ turn. Mai and DiGirolamo checked once more, with Hu firing 3,000 into the middle.
That produced folds from both opponents, and Hu tabled A♥K♠ while picking up the pot.
