Robert-Alexandru Patrascu limped in from the cutoff, Elliot Hackney raised to 8,000, from the button, and Patrascu called.
The 4♥10♦J♠ flop saw Patrascu checked and then call a bet of 7,000 from Hackney.
The 7♣ turn checked through to the 9♠ river. Patrascu took the lead for 8,000 and Hackney responded with a raise to 38,000. Patrascu spent several minutes in the tank before making the fold.
As Hackney raked in the pot he flashed A♦Q♦ to the table, for just ace-high.

Amy Leonard raised to 6,500 from the cutoff. Youness Barakat, in the small blind, made the call.
The 7♦J♣3♠ flop saw Barakat check and then call a bet of 8,000 from Leonard.
The Q♥ turn prompted a second check from Barakat. Leonard placed another bet which was clearly large enough to earn a snap-fold from Barakat.

Nick Walsh: J♣10♣
Amy Leonard: Q♥Q♦
Walsh had run into a premium holding and the A♥8♠3♣ flop provided no help. The J♦ turn gave Walsh a bit of a sweat, but the K♦ put an end to the Team Pro's run.
