Pacifico's Kicker Nets a Win

Level 4 : 300/500, 500 ante

Four players built a pot of 8,000 up to see an {8-Spades}{8-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} flop together. Action checked to John Dolan, who bet 3,000. Andrew Pacifico called on the button, and the big blind check-raised to 8,000. Action folded back to Pacifico, who called.

Both players checked the {q-Diamonds} turn, and the big blind bet 16,000 on the {4-Spades} river. Pacifico quickly called, and after the big blind tabled {8-Clubs}{7-Hearts}, Pacifico showed his {10-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} and said, "Kicker plays," and his ten-kicker indeed played, earning him the pot.

Hjorth and Demerle Both Find Cowboys

Level 4 : 300/500, 500 ante

There was around 5,000 in the pot on a board of {9-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{10-Hearts} and Dick Demerle was all in from the big blind. Action was on William Hjorth in the hijack and he asked for a count which was totaled to be 25,200.

After a few minutes of thought, Hjorth made the call.

William Hjorth: {k-Hearts}{k-Clubs}
Dick Demerle: {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds}

The entire table rejoiced as both players turned up the same hand, however, Hjorth was freerolling both a flush and a knockout with the king of hearts. Much to Demerle's satisfaction, the board ran out {5-Spades}{2-Diamonds} and the two chopped the pot after both being dealt pocket kings.

Tehan Loses with Two Pair

Level 4 : 300/500, 500 ante
Joe Tehan
Joe Tehan

Three players, including Joe Tehan, were facing a {k-Spades}{10-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} board on the turn and all three players checked. On the {q-Clubs} river, there was now a one-card straight possibility and both players checked to Tehan, who bet 5,200. Sebastian Percy-Smith called and when the other player folded, they turned their cards on their backs.

Joe Tehan: {q-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}
Sebastian Percy-Smith: {k-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}

It was two pair vs a better two pair and Percy-Smith has pulled back to starting stack, whilst Tehan took the blow.
