Action started with a limp form middle position and button, followed by a call from Adam Calabrese in the small blind and a check from the button.
The table went four ways to the J♣3♥3♦ flop and all players checked to see a turn.
The 5♦ turn prompted more checks from Calabrese, the big blind and middle position, before the button made a sizeable 3,400 bet, getting a call only from Calabrese.
When the 7♦ river was dealt, both players checked and Calabrese showed A♦10♠ for ace high, the button then mucked their hand.

Under the gun raised to 1,500 getting a call from the button, then Anthony Shively raised the stakes from the big blind by shoving all in for around 19,000.

Anthony Shively: A♦9♣
Button: Q♣Q♥
The button was looking strong until the dealer brought the 9♠9♦5♥ flop, giving Shively trip nines.
Only a queen could save the button from loosing a stack, but the 6♦ 6♥ runout wasn't any good.
Shively scooped the pot and regained some chips to sit at just over starting stack.

Thomas Patzner raised to 1,100 from under the gun. The cutoff three bet to 3,100, the button then decided to four bet to 12,000. Patzner quickly went all in and both opponents folded. " I had the best hand," he exclaimed to his tablemates who seemed to believe him.
A few short moments later, Patzner was seen dragging in a pot with 3♦5♦ on a board reading K♠3♠3♥10♣3♣. Patzner is hoping to ride this momentum and put some chips into a bag later tonight.
