Louis Hillman opened on the button and the player in the big blind defended.
The big blind checked following the 4♦9♠8♣ flop and then raised after Hillman continued. Hillman made the call.
There was no slowing down for the big blind on the 3♣ turn as they bet. Again, Hillman called.
The 10♣ river saw the big blind bet once more and Hillman call with 10♦8♦ for the rivered two pair, good enough to secure the pot.

There was commotion heard in the tournament area. When PokerNews arrived at the table the board was showing 5xKx6xQxKx and Ronnie Bardah had tabled KxKx for quads, while Mike Lang showed QxQx for a full house.
Barah was short stacked but the bad beat he put on Lang gave him a much needed double up.

Maria Ho opened from the cutoff and John Monnette defended in the big blind.
Monnette checked following the 6♦J♦7♥ flop and then raised after Ho continued. The Women in Poker Hall of Famer called to see a turn.
The K♥ turn saw Monnette lead into Ho, who called.
Monnette fired one last barrel on the 10♦ river and Ho, after asking to see one of her opponent's cards if she folded, tossed her hand into the muck. Monnette obliged by flashing the J♣ as he raked in the pot.

Adam Friedman limped in the small blind and then called a raise from Joe McKeehen in the big blind.
Friedman check-called a bet from McKeehen on the 7♥10♥8♣ flop.
The same betting pattern was repeated following the 5♦ turn and again after the K♦ river completed the board. McKeehen turned over 9♦6♦ for the flopped straight to take down the pot and send his stack back over starting.
