The board read 5QA23 in a hand between Jonathan Jaffe and Mikita Badziakouski, with Jaffe check-calling a roughly pot-sized river bet from Badziakouski for 270,000 and Jaffe making the quick call.

Badziakouski tabled AK for top pair, top kicker and Jaffe mucked.

Over at another table, Phil Hellmuth was involved in a hand where he called an early position raise from David Peters for 27,000, which was also called by Nick Petrangelo in the big blind

Hellmuth bet 38,000 after Petrangelo and Peters both checked on the Broadway heavy flop of Q10A and only Petrangelo made the call. The K turn went check-check, as did the 2 river.

"Just an ace," announced Hellmuth, who would toss his hand in the muck after the Petrangelo tabled KQ for the straight.
