On the button, Ariela Masarsky called the cutoff's 2,200 preflop raise. She called again when the cutoff bet 1,900 on the Q♣10♥A♠ flop.
Both checked the 2♠ turn and 5♥ river, and the cutoff was forced to show his 8♣6♣, and Masarsky took down the pot with Q♦J♦.

Heads-up on a flop of 7♠10♠9♦, Jimmy Williams bet 9,000 from early position before Ardit Kurshumi laid out a row of red 5,000 chips in front of him, raising to 25,000. Williams then moved all in for 42,000 and Kurshumi snap-called.
Jimmy Williams: K♠J♠
Ardit Kurshumi: 9♥6♦
Kurshumi had flopped a pair of nines with a straight draw, while Williams had a flush draw and his own draw to a straight. The 4♥ turn was no help, but the Q♦ fell on the river to give Williams a higher straight.
"I had to suck out sometime," a grateful Williams said as he took the pot from a disheartened Kurshumi.

Pavlos Xanthopoulos opened from middle position to 2,200, and was called by Samy Dubonnet on the button and Ignacio Moron in the big blind.
On the flop J♦A♠2♠, Xanthopoulos made a continuation bet of 2,500. But Dubonnet raised to 8,000. Moron check-called this amount, as did Xanthopoulos.
The turn was the 4♦. Moron and Xanthopoulos checked to Dubonnet, who also checked. After the river K♠, all three players checked again.
The first player to show his cards, Moron, revealed A♣10♠ for a pair of aces. However, it wasn't enough as Xanthopoulos revealed A♦K♦ for two pairs, the winning hand.

Dennys Ramos bet 2,500 from the small blind on a A♦A♣J♣A♠10♥ board, and David Stubbs raised to 9,500 from under the gun.
Ramos spent a moment trying to put Stubbs on a hand, and then peeled to recheck his holding before putting in a reluctant call.
Stubbs showed the bad news, giddily turning over A♥J♣ for a flopped full house, and turned quads. "Not a bad flop, eh?" said a wag at the end of the table.

On the 3♥ and Becker checked once more to Colillas who bet 21,000 and Becker thought about it for a bit before calling.

Jeremy Becker: 10♣10♠
Ramon Colillas: K♥K♠
Becker had rivered tens full to pull ahead of Colillas and he doubled up while Colillas was left with just two blinds.

In a heads-up pot with 26,000 in the middle on a flop showing A♦K♦5♦, David Sebesfi fired out 5,000 after his opponent checked to him from the big blind, and after some thought, the big blind called.
On the 7♣ turn the big blind checked again and Sebesfi bet 8,500, which his opponent called. The A♣ completed the board and both players took some time before tapping the table to a showdown.
The big blind rolled over A♠Q♦ for trip aces and Sebesfi smiled before tabling A♥Q♠ for the same hand.
"You should bet the river," joked the big blind as the dealer split up the pot.
"Don't want to get raised there," answered Sebesfi as he collected half the chips.

Serhii Popovych raised to 2,000 in early position and only got called by Adam Twito in the big blind.
The flop appeared 6♦5♥7♥ and Twito check-called Popovych's continuation for 2,700. After some thinking, Twito check-called again on the J♦ turn, this time for 16,500.
A Q♣ showed up on the river and both checked. Twito tabled 8♠7♦ for a pair of sevens and it was good enough to make Popovych muck his hand.
