A player opened to 8,000 and Jack Salter made the call in the big blind to go see a flop 4♣5♥J♥. Salter check-called his opponent for 14,000.
Both checked on the 2♥ turn and a Q♦ hit the river. Salter led out for 8,500 and after a minute, his opponent called. Salter tabled J♣2♣ for two pair and his opponent mucked his cards.
Bruno Garcia opened to 8,000 and got called by Giuseppe Calio in the blind blind while Tom McCormick folded in the big blind.
The flop brought A♦Q♠5♦ and Calio check-called Garcia for 9,000.
Both checked on the 8♥ turn and a 3♣ landed on the river. Garcia bet 8,000 and after a minute, Calio called. Garcia flipped over A♠10♥ for top pair and Calio quickly sent KxQx into the muck.
Andrew Wu in middle position limped in, the player in the hijack raised to 14,000, the big blind called and so did Wu.
Three-ways to a flop of 2♦7♣K♦. The action checked to the hijack who bet out 13,000. Only Wu continued.
The 3♣ turn checked through to the 10♠ on the river. Wu now took the lead for 38,000.
The player in the hijack thought for a considerable amount of time. Perhaps in the hope of speeding up the decision, Wu told his opponent "Don't call!". The hijack seemingly listen and folded his hand.
Another player at the table begged Wu to show his cards.
"Buy me a beer and I'll show you" he replied as he tabled 3♦3♠ for a turned set.
The next time PokerNews walked past Wu's seat, he had a beer beside his chip stack.
With about 25,000 in the middle, the action checked to Anthony Zinno as he bet 4,000, and his opponent check-called.
The Q♣ hit the turn and both players checked to see the 8♥ river.
Zinno's opponent checked before he tossed out a bet of 25,000. His opponent went in the tank for two minutes and eventually pushed his cards towards the dealer.
In a blind versus blind battle, Julio Belluscio led out for 7,000 on a flop of 7♥5♣7♠ before Joseph Palma raised to 21,500.
Belluscio called as the A♦ fell on the turn. He then led out again, this time for 15,000. Palma immediately announced he was all in for around 97,000.
Belluscio lowered his head and tanked for a few seconds before sliding his cards into the muck. Palma gave out a big fist pump as he dragged in the pot.
Picking up the action partway through the hand, Ryan Tosoc in the small blind had his opponent in the cutoff all in and at risk.
Cutoff Player: A♥Q♥
Ryan Tosoc: A♦A♣
Tosoc had found pocket rockets at an opportune moment to put himself in excellent position to score the knockout. That is exactly what happened after the board ran out 9♥3♦7♦8♠10♥ as Tosoc raked in another pot to add to his large stack.
Nadya Magnus raised to 8,000 on the button and got called by Shawn Beaupre in the small blind and the big blind.
The flop gave 7♦5♦Q♠ and the trio checked to see a 10♥ on the turn. Beaupre bet 12,000 and only Magnus made the call.
Things heated on the Q♦ river. Beaupre shoved for 286,000 and Magnus went deep into the tank with the dominant stack. After a few minutes, she ended up calling for the following showdown:
Shawn Beaupre: Q♣Q♥
Nadya Magnus: A♦3♦
Magnus had the nut flush but was facing Beaupre who had hit quads queens, and the latter scooped the big pot.
Denys Shafikov opened to 10,000 from the cutoff and Camille Brown three-bet to 36,000 from the big blind. Shafikov made the call.
