Monnette Makes Ten
When Monnette checked, Smith put out a bet and was called. This time both men took a single card and Monnette opted to lead out at the pot. Smith was the caller this time, and he would take one more card. Monnette stood pat and checked, and Smith checked behind.
Monnette turned over T-9-6-5-3, and Smith couldn't show anything better than that.
Juanda Moving Up
Both men drew one card before check-checking on the first round.
On the second draw, Juanda took one card while his opponent stood pat and bet. Juanda came along with the call.
Juanda took another card while his opponent stood pat again. He led out once more, but Juanda raised this time, and his opponent called. John showed down number one: 7-5-4-3-2, good for the win. He's up to 15,250 having doubled up his starting stack in the first three levels or so.

The Pirate Plundered, then Pillages
But he'd get them back on the very next hand. The Italian Pirate got three bets in before the draw with two opponents coming along. He would take one card on the first draw, and his bet was called by both opponents. On the second draw, Pescatori took one card again before betting. One opponent raised, the second called, and Pescatori called all in for his last 200 chips. He'd stand pat on the final draw.
After his two opponents had checked on the end, Pescatori tabled 7-6-5-3-2. His seventy-six low was plenty good to win him the pot and chip him back up into contention. He's on 4,500 now.

Smith Can Beat Two Pairs
Rheem took one card while the cutoff and Smith drew two, and all three players checked it around.
On the last draw, Smith was the only one drawing two, with Rheem and the cutoff only taking one, and it checked around again. "Pair," said Rheem. The cutoff spoke next, "Pair, too." Smith tabled A-7-6-3-2, and his ace low was good enough to pick up the pot.
Hua is Number One
Grizzle drew three while his opponents each took two. After the draw, everyone checked and called a bet from Sam.
On the second draw, Luong only needed one card while the other three each drew two again. Gioi Luong decided to lead out from the small blind this time. Le folded from the big, and Hua made the call. Grizzle still wanted to play for more though, and he made it two bets. Luong called, and Hua surprisingly three-bet it. That was enough to fold his two opponents and ship him the pot.
He may not have wanted to take it down right there though. He opened up his 7-5-4-3-2. Just the nuts.
