With 7,000 in the pot, the big blind bet 2,300 on a 
board, and an early position player raised to 7,600. Charlie Sewell in the hijack three-bet shoved for 32,300, and the small blind check-raised all in, four-betting to 55,800. The big blind tanked for a few minutes before folding, claiming to fold a straight after the early position player folded his 
face-up.
Charlie Sewell: 
Opponent:
The big blind shook his head, in disbelief that neither of his opponents held a straight themselves. The 
river kept Sewell's top set in front, and he doubled up.
"Nice hand sir, back in the game!" Tablemate Will Kassouf told Sewell.
"Did I play it perfect?" Sewell asked Kassouf, who responded, "Like a boss!"

A flop of 
showed on the board, and Sam Soverel had an 8,000 bet in front of him in one of the early positions.
Sammy Paik reraised to 22,000 from the hijack, sending Soverel into the tank. Soverel elected to reraise to an amount that put Paik at risk. Paik instantly called.
Sam Soverel: 
Sammy Paik: 
The showdown was bad news for Soverel, who was far behind against Paik's set of jacks. The turn and river 
brought no help, and Paik doubled up to 115,000. Soverel stood up and did calisthenics behind his chair for a couple of minutes after taking the big hit.

Jason Mercier raised to 1,200 from the hijack and a player on the button made it 4,000 before his neighbor cold four-bet shoved for 26,900.
Mercier tanked for a while and then decided to throw his cards away. The other player folded as well and the hand ended preflop.
