PokerNews caught up with an all-in hand between Max Steinberg and an opponent to his left, the cards were on their backs and the full board was dealt out.
Max Steinberg: K♠K♦
Opponent: A♠A♣
The final runout read K♥2♣7♠8♠9♠ and with his flopped set of kings, Steinberg was able to crack the aces of his opponent and get the full double.
Yohwan Lim was involved in a pot with Michael Trivett again. They were three-way to a flop of 9♣8♥4♣, with a player in the hijack joining in as well.
With around 7,000 in the pot, Trivett checked from under the gun and the player in the hijack made it 3,000 to go. Lim called on the button and Trivett folded.
The Q♠ turn then was checked by both players before the hijack bet another 4,000 on the J♣ river. Lim threw in a T-25,000 chip in response and announced "twenty," for a raise to 20,000.
The hijack player mulled it over for a while before eventually settling on a fold.
Henry Li opened to 800 in middle position and Dinesh Alt three-bet to 2,600 in the cutoff. Li called and they went heads-up to a flop of Q♠8♠8♥.
Li checked to Alt who continued with a bet of 1,500. Li called and the J♠ landed on the turn. Li checked again and Alt fired out a bet of 5,500 which finally got Li to fold.
On a heads-up completed board of 5♠5♥4♣5♣7♥, the early position player had led out for 6,800 but his opponent, Georgios Sotiropolous, did not think that was enough and raised it up to 24,500.
The early position player then went deep into the tank, until the point that the clock was called on him and he was given a 30-second countdown.
"I've built houses faster than this!" someone at the table was getting restless.
As his clock neared zero, he made the call but was then shown 7♣7♠ by Sotiropolous for a big full house and he quickly mucked his hand.
David Pham raised 800 in the cutoff and only the button made the call.
The 10♣10♦8♣ flop was checked through to see the 7♠ turn.
Pham led out for 3,600 and the button called.
When the 3♣ completed the board, Pham fired 7,900. The button sighed as he said, "Exactly what I put you on, the flush draw." And folded his hand.
Pham showed him the J♣ first and after a couple of seconds he tabled his second card which was the K♦, showing the bluff.
A player in early position limped in for 300 and Ashley Frank made it 900 to go from middle position, getting the call from the original limper.
Frank bet out 500 after being checked to on a 8♠J♥6♥ flop and the player in early position made the call.
A similar instance on the turn 7♠, but this time Frank bet 1,500 after getting the check, and once again, her opponent called.
The river 5♠ completed a number of flushes and straights and brought upon a change in tactics from Frank's opponent, who decided to lead out for 3,800, putting Frank to the test.
However, after some deliberation, Frank cut out some raising chips and put in a sizable one of 13,000, getting the snap fold from her opponent.
A pot of 14,400 had already been amassed by a player in the small blind and Jason Teurquety in the big blind. The flop of J♦9♦5♦ went check-check before the small blind bet out 2,000 on the 2♣ turn.
Teurquety went into the tank and called after a minute or so. The river was then dealt the 10♦.
The small blind reverted to a check and Teurquety mulled over his options. Eventually, he settled on a bet of 16,000, which got looked up by the small blind.
Teurquety then quickly tabled K♦Q♦ for the stone cold nuts, a straight flush.
"I folded nines!" the player under the gun proudly exclaimed.
Frederic Normand raised 800 in middle position and only the big blind came along.
The dealer fanned a flop of A♣Q♦9♠ and the big blind check-called a bet of 700.
The K♠ fell on the turn and both players checked to see the K♥ river.
The big blind checked before Normand fired a bet of 4,000 and Normand was snap-called. As soon as the player called Normand pulled back his bet and tabled K♣8♣ for trip eights and his opponent mucked his hand.
At the same table Amir Hamzehali is building a healthy stack with over 100,000 in chips.
