Robert Harrison moved all in on the river as the board read 9♦10♥2♥6♥8♣ from the hijack for 182,000.
The pot had about 134,000 and Anatoly Nikitin was in middle position and had to consider it for quite some time before he eventually tossed his cards away.
Harrison tabled the A♦J♥ as he gathered in the pot.

After three-betting preflop in the hand prior and taking down a nice pot, Darius Samual immediately found himself in another big hand. A player opened under the gun to 10,000 and another called from middle position. Samual also called.
The flop fell Q♦9♥7♥ and under the gun checked. The middle position player bet for 15,000 and Samual called. Then the player under the gun raised to 65,000. Middle position folded quickly but Darius Samual went into the tank. Samual ultimately decided to shove all-in for nearly 300,000.
His opponent folded A♠A♣ face up and Samual dragged the large pot.

Four players were on a flop of K♣A♣10♦. An early position player bet 15,000 which the cutoff folded, Krasimir Yankov called in the big blind and Cary Katz also folded from early position.
The turn was the Q♦ to put four to broadway on the board. Action went check-check.
The river came the 6♠. Yankov fired out 62,000 which sent his opponent deep into the tank. After several moments he elected to call.
Yankov tabled K♥J♥ for turned broadway which prompted a frustrated muck from his opponent as Yankov moves into one of the top spots on the charts.

A player from under the gun limped in and Kristen Foxen raised to 15,000 from middle position. Anthony Cierco was in the small blind and he three-bet to 55,000, which got the under-the-gun player to fold. Foxen only had 65,000 chips behind and after giving it some though, she elected to fold.

Chris Moneymaker is giving it another try, opening a poker room in Kentucky, this time in Louisville.
Moneymaker Social Louisville opened Saturday, becoming the second operating brick-and-mortar card room in the state. The other one, a slightly bigger room, is located just down the street, about 15-20 minutes from the University of Louisville campus.
Opening night "went well," poker room manager Christine Russell told PokerNews. As with any new business, there "were some kinks to work out." But as Russell said, players were impressed with the initial experience.
Joshua Hopkins was looking to eliminate a player from the field but needed to win a classic coinflip in order to do so.
Under the gun: A♦K♠
Joshua Hopkins: Q♦Q♠
Hopkins fell behind on the 10♠K♦J♥ flop but improved to a straight on the A♠ turn. His opponent still had outs to a full house but the 10♦ river wasn't the card he was looking for which meant Hopkins took the pot.
