The flop was showing {3-Spades}{j-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} and three players were in the hand when Alex Foxen bet 1,300 after the two players in the blinds checked. They both called and the dealer revealed a {2-Hearts} on the turn. All the players checked.

The river was a {10-Diamonds} and all the players checked once more. The small blind player tabled {8-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} while the big blind mucked his hand, and Foxen turned over {10-Spades}{8-Spades} for a higher pair and earned the pot.

Kurtzman Takes From Ernst

Level 5 : 250/500, 75 ante

Picking up the action on the {K-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{10-Diamonds} turn, Matthew Ernst bet 4,700 in middle position and was called by fellow bigger stack Eric Kurtzman from two seats over. The {9-Spades} on the river completed the board and Ernst now slowed down and checked. Kurtzman bet 5,000 and that was enough to force a fold from Ernst, who slowly but surely dropped back to the starting stack.
