Josh Arieh: XxXx/3♣J♣9♦A♦/Xx
Patrick Leonard: XxXx/J♠Q♥9♦6♣/Xx

Arieh bet and Leonard thought about his decision briefly before tossing in the call. Arieh turned over 3♠3♥8♠ for a set of threes and Leonard mucked his hand.

Opponent: XxXx/K♦4♦4♣ — folded on fifth street
Barbara Enright: XxXx/Q♥6♠6♣K♥/Xx — folded on seventh street

A player completed with the K♦ and was called by Peter Lynn and Barbara Enright for a thee-way pot.

Lynn bet on fourth street and both his opponents called.

Lynn called a bet from Enright on sixth street, but then bet himself on seventh after Enright checked.

Enright folded after a bit of thought and Lynn said, "I wanted to put in all the bets," as he revealed 10♣9♣8♣ for a flush.
