An early position bet of 600 followed the J♣2♣A♠ flop, where Otto Pickermann raised on the button to 2,000.
After taking some time, the player in early position slid his cards into the muck, and Pickermann took down the pot while showing the A♣.
Daniel Poynton checked the K♦6♦A♦ flop from the big blind, and Moustafa Khalil fired a bet of 600 in early position. Robert Cattanach let his hand go in the cutoff, and Poynton made the call.
Another check from Poynton followed the 9♣ turn, where Khalil slid out another bet of 900. The call was made, and both players checked down the 8♠ river.
Khalil showed K♣Q♣ for pair of kings, while Poynton tabled A♥5♠ for a superior pair to take the pot.

Blinds: 200/300
Ante: 300
Four-way action was checked around through the Q♦10♥5♦ flop, and the dealer revealed the 3♣ turn. Another round of checks led to the 6♥ river, where both blinds checked one last time.
A bet of 400 followed from the hijack, and Sarah Bilney promptly raised to 1,000. That produced folds from both blinds, while the hijack slid in a call.
Bilney tabled 6♠5♣ for two pair, taking down the pot as her remaining opponent mucked.
