"I have such a funny table with friendly people", said Samuel Bifarella to PokerNews, 2022 WSOP bracelet runner-up in Event #34 Freezeout $1,500.
A player opened to 2,400 and Bifarella called from the button as well as the big blind.
On the flop 5♣6♥5♥, Bifarella took the lead with a 3,300 bet and it was enough to take the pot right away.
Action folded to the small blind who limped only to see Selma Sayin raise to 3,500 from the big blind. The small blind called to bring out the 3♠J♥5♦.
The small blind checked to Sayin who tossed out a bet of 3,000. The small blind called and the dealer burned and turned the Q♠.
The small blind checked over to Sayin again who tossed out a single 5,000 chip. The small blind called once again before watching as the dealer put the 10♥ out on the river.
Action checked through and Sayin quickly turned up the A♦Q♣ for top pair top kicker. The small blind folded and Sayin said, "I told you I had a good hand." as the pot was pushed her way.

A player opened under the gun and after two calls in middle position, Chris Da-Silva called from the big blind.
On the flop 6♥J♣5♠, all players checked. On the turn Q♥, the open raiser delayed continuation-bet to 4,200 and only one player in middle position called. On the river J♦, the open raiser fired a new bet and his opponent quickly folded face up Kx10x off.
Action folded to David Reyes in the small blind who limped before facing a raise to 3,000 from the big blind. Reyes called to bring out the 6♥10♣K♦ flop.
Action checked through leading to a 7♦ on the turn. Reyes led out with a bet of 2,500 and the big blind called, bringing out the J♠ on the river.
Reyes led out again, this time for 5,000. The big blind checked his cards and shuffled chips for about a minute before eventually sliding his cards toward the muck, allowing Reyes to win without showdown in a blind versus blind confrontation.
In early position, a player opened to 2,200 and on the next seat, a player three-bet to 5,500.
From the button, Said Bats four-bet shoved to 23,300 and the open raiser thought for a while before calling.
Said Bats: A♠K♦
Opponent: A♦Q♦
The board ran out 2♣J♦A♠5♥2♠ and Bats doubled up to 53,000.

Victor Davalos raised to 2,000 from middle position and got called by a player to his direct left. Action folded to the small blind who came in for a three-bet to 8,500.
Both Davalos and the player in late position called to see a 2♣4♦Q♠ flop. The small blind continued with a bet of 8,000.
Davalos spent about a minute and a half in the tank before calling. The late position player folded taking the remaining two players to the 6♠ turn card.
The small blind checked and Davalos thought for a moment before tossing out a bet of 16,000. The small blind put in the call and both players headed to the A♣ river.
Action checked through and Davalos showed the J♠J♦ which was just a pip better than his opponent's 10♦10♥, winning him what had turned into quite a big pot.
