The flop gave 6♦A♠2♣ and the hijack led out for 2,000, which Payne called. On the 8♠, the hijack checked this time and Payne sent a bet of 5,500. The hijack let it go and Payne tabled 5♠3♥ before grabbing the pot.
It was a preflop raising war after arriving at Table 675 in the Gold section. Manuel Ruivo had a bet of 5,100 sitting in front of him while Tsugunari Toma reraised to 13,700 from the small blind. Ruivo jammed all in as the bigger stack and Toma called off his last 32,500.
Tsugunari Toma: A♣K♥
Manuel Ruivo: A♠K♣
The flop came K♦10♠5♥ and both players reached for their chips as now flush would be possible. The 3♥ and 2♦ runout was just a formality as the players chopped the pot.
A player in early position raised to 500 and got called by a player in middle position and Alex Pusting in the small blind leading to a Q♦6♣9♥ flop.
Pusting and the early position player checked to see the middle position player toss out a bet of 1,000. Pusting called and the early position player folded to bring out the 3♦ on the turn.
Action checked through to the 10♦ river and Pusting decided to lead with a bet of 5,000. The middle position player quickly called and showed the 10♥10♣ for a rivered set, which was second-best to the 5♦6♦ flush of Pusting.
His opponent said, "That's the only card in the deck that gets you paid off with a flush," as Pusting collected the pot.
The action was picked up in a heads-up pot of roughly 12,000 on a board showing 7♦5♦4♠A♣. Jinyi Sun fired out 3,000 from early position and Mitchell Brown made the call in the cutoff.
On the 8♥ river both players checked to a showdown. Brown quickly tabled 7♥5♣ for two pair and took down the pot when Sun mucked his hand.
With around 7,000 in the pot on a board of J♣6♠2♣J♦, Marco Alves Garcia bet 3,300 from middle position before Sean Legendre, in the cutoff, raised to 8,500.
David Diaz folded the big blind, but Garcia called after a brief tank. The river came the 10♦ and Garcia checked over to Legendre, who fired out another 15,000.
Garcia tanked for nearly five minutes before he called. Legendre turned over 2♠2♥ for a full house and Garcia flashed Q♥J♥ before mucking.
"That's how you play deuces," a tablemate said to a smiling Legendre as he took down the big pot.
Action was caught after the flop of J♦4♠2♦, and Aaron Tveit checked from the cutoff. His opponent led out for 1,000 from the button. Tveit found a call to the turn.
The turn came the 5♥, and both players were quick to check around.
While the 5♣ peeled off on the river, Tveit took little time in firing for 3,500. His opponent took little time in folding for Tveit to scoop the pot.
"PokerNews, we are straddling here!" said Chris Da-Silva while walking by his table.
When he said that, it was his turn to straddle, so he bet blind 400 from under the gun. A player in middle position three-bet to 1,200, and everybody folded to Da-Silva, who called.
On the flop 2♠2♥Q♣, the middle position player bet 1,000, and Da-Silva check-called. Then on the turn 7♦, both players checked.
The river 5♠ was checked again by Da-Silva. However, the player in middle position seemed unsure of his decision. He finally checked back and showed K♠K♣. Surprised, Da-Silva folded while laughing.
Mohammed Jaafar raised in early position to 600 and received five callers. The late position player, the cutoff and both blinds came along for the ride. The flop came out Q♦3♣Q♣ and Jaafar checked. The late position player bet 2,200, everyone else folded, and Jaafar made the call.
Both players checked through the turn 3♦ and the river 2♠. Jaafar flipped over the 10♥10♠ and the late position player mucked.

The dealer spread a flop of A♦9♦5♦, and both players checked to see the 2♦ turn. Simpson led for 2,000 and Elmshaeuser called.
The 3♥ landed on the river and Simpson fired a bet of 6,700, putting Elmshaeuser In the tank for about 30 seconds before making the call. Simpson tabled A♠4♠ for a wheel and Elmshaeuser mucked his hand.
Allen Li-Xin Shen moved all in for 37,000 from middle position on a board of 8♦4♠6♦10♠5♣ and after a brief think, Jeremy Bollinger called from late position.
