Layne Flack raised to 2,000 from under the gun, and the cutoff three-bet to 6,900. Flack paused for just a moment, before flicking a 5k chip in the pot to call.
Both players checked the 
flop, and the 
fell on the turn. Flack bet 11,000, and his opponent folded.

Jonathan Abdellatif raised from middle position and he was called by the player in the small blind. The flop was dealt 
and the player in the small blind check-called a bet of 1,600 from Abdellatif.
The turn was the 
and Abdellatif took the pot down after his opponent check-folded to a bet of 5,000.
Abdellatif came close to winning a bracelet last year in Event #54: Big Blind Antes $3,000 No-Limit Hold'em but he eventually fell short and finished in fourth place. Abdellatif is now playing with double the number of cards so he now maybe can double his luck as well.

A player raised to 1,500 from the cutoff, and was called by the button and small blind. Roman Valerstein three-bet to 7,500 from the big blind, and the cutoff called. The button folded, and the small blind four-bet to 31,500. Valerstein called and the cutoff folded.
The small blind jammed for 44,200 on the 
flop, and Valerstein called.
Opponent: 
Roman Valerstein: 
Valerstein flopped a straight draw and a straight-flush draw, but his opponent held a higher flush draw and a straight-flush blocker to go with his aces. The 
turn was a brick for Valerstein, and the 
river gave both players a flush, but Valerstein's smaller flush cost him the majority of his stack.

Four players limped in to see a 
flop together. The small blind bet 2,000, and after the big blind folded, Daniel Negreanu called from under the gun, as did a player in middle position.
The small blind bet 8,000 after the fell on the turn, and both Negreanu and the middle position player called again.
The 
completed the board on the river, and the small blind checked. Negreanu bet 25,000, and the middle position player quickly folded. The small blind looked at the board, then said, "I improved on the river..." before folding.
"Phew!" Negreanu said before shipping his cards to the dealer.

Benjamin Zamani had a great shot to win a bracelet when he sat at the final table of the $1,500 Pot-Limit Omaha event earlier this week. He even held the chip lead for a while at the final table but he ended up without a bracelet.
Zamani is now back in another four-card tournament and he won some chips already. He sat in the cutoff and raised to 1,000 when he saw another player raise to 3,600 from the small blind. Zamani called.
The flop was 
and the player in the small blind check-called a bet of 3,000 from Zamani. The turn was the 
and Zamani bet another time. He put 8,200 in the middle and that was too much for his opponent.
