Frankie Cucchiara opened from under the gun to 3,500 and got a call only from the big blind.
Both players checked on the 8♣6♦6♠ flop to see the 10♥ turn.
Cucchiara bet again and got another call from the big blind and after seeing the J♣ river, Cucchiara opted to jam for his remaining 15,000.
When the big blind called, Cucchiara showed 10x10x having hit a set on the turn, and the big blind threw their cards into the muck.

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.

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.
