Kathy Liebert limped from the small blind, and the big blind checked behind.
The flop came 8♠8♣10♠ and Liebert bet 2,000, getting a quick call from the big blind.
A 9♥ on the turn prompted Liebert to bet around 5,000, and again, the big blind called.
With the river coming the 7♦, Liebert bet out 10,000 to which the big blind gave up and folded. As the big blind threw their cards to the dealer Liebert let out a "noooo" to the table, implying she wanted the call.

Erkut Yilmaz was involved in a hand where he got it all-in preflop with two other players. Yilmaz was the short stack of the three, and at risk.
Erkut Yilmaz: 4♠4♣
Opponent: A♥J♦
Opponent: A♠K♥
The flop rolled out 10♥6♥2♥, and Yilmaz needed to dodge a plethora of cards to stay alive. He did exactly that when the turn landed the 3♠ and the river brought the 9♣.
Yilmaz's pair of fours held, which awarded him the pot and the triple up.
