Hand 1
Spencer Champlin opened to 180,000 from under the gun and received a call by Eric Bunch, who was in the cutoff. All remaining players folded and the flop came 
. Champlin made a continuation-bet of 220,000 and Bunch called.
The turn was 
and both players checked. The river fell 
and Champlin checked to Bunch, who announced a bet of 700,000. Champlin thought for a few moments and folded.
Hand 2
On the following hand, Bunch opened to 225,000 from the hijack and Champlin defended from the big blind. The flop came 
and Champlin check-called a continuation-bet of 300,000 from Bunch. The two then checked through the turn 
and river 
to take the hand to showdown.
Champlin turned over for a pair of deuces and Bunch mucked, unable to top it as the pot was sent Champlin's way.
