Two middle position players battled it out as player one raised all in for 37,000 and Monika Zukowicz called.
Middle position player: K♠Q♣
Monika Zukowicz: A♣A♦
The board came 9♥4♠J♠4♥2♥ and Zukowicz from Poland built a decent chip stack.
The under-the-gun player limped in before Donald Martin limped the small blind and the big blind checked his option.
The dealer fanned a flop of 5♦5♥2♥ and both Martin and the big blind checked. The under-the-gun limper fired out a bet of 15,000 and only Martin called.
The 3♥ landed on the turn and both players checked to see the 6♠ river. Martin splashed a bet of 27,000 and it only took a few seconds before his opponent pushed his cards into the muck as he said, "you can have it."
Three players were involved on a flop of J♥Q♣6♣.
A player in early position bet, and Jihyun Min moved all in with his remaining stack of less than 35,000. A player in late position called, and the early position player followed suit.
The turn produced 9♠, resulting in both players alive for a sidepot checking to the river, which showed 2♦. Both players once again checked. The player in early position showed K♥Q♠ for top pair, while the player in late position tabled A♣3♣ for a busted flush draw.
Min then tabled 6♥6♠ for bottom set and the win.

The nines survived the run out of 5♦8♠7♣4♣10♥
With roughly 30,000 chips in the middle, Ori Hasson checked to Corey Esposito who fired a bet of 15,000 into the middle. After a short tank, Hasson made the call.
The Q♠ hit the turn, and Hasson checked once again before Esposito jammed the rest of his 35,000 across the line. Hasson took a bit longer this time before eventually tossing in the call.
Corey Esposito: K♣Q♣
Ori Hasson: K♥4♥
Esposito turned the top two pair which meant Hasson was drawing dead as the dealer dropped the 5♣ to complete the board.
With about 32,000 in the middle, the turn read 9♦5♠2♦10♥, and Patrick Royal fired out a bet of 20,000. His only opponent in the hand took some time before making the call.
The 10♣ completed the board and Royal continued with a bet of 25,000. His opponent paused for a moment before announcing a raise to 90,000 and pushing a stack of reds across the line.
Royal went into the tank for a little over a minute before dropping a chip across the line and hearing exactly what he was looking to hear. "You're good."
Royal tabled 9♠7♥, for two pair, tens and nines. His opponent showed Q♥J♠ before the dealer tossed his cards into the muck.
An early position player shoved all in for 45,000. A middle position player called with a shorter stack and Christophe Vercoustre called in the big blind with his pocket rockets.

Early position player: K♦9♦
