The action folded to the middle position, who raised to 800. Muzzaffar Pana called from the hijack, shortly followed by a call from the big blind.
The big blind checked on the K♣9♠5♥ flop, but middle position made a pot-size continuation bet which was only called by Pana.
The turn brought 4♦ and the opponent bet big, with Pana making the call.
With a brick river, Pana won the hand with top pair, showing K♦J♣ and added the chips to his stack.

Button: K♠10♠
Bruce Martin: A♦Q♦
The river came the 4♣ and Martin had eliminated the button from the event.

Raymond Franklin raised from the cutoff position to 1,300 and Kyna England on the button put in the reraise to 3,200. Franklin made the call and the flop came out with K♥8♠Q♦. Franklin check-called England's continuation-bet of 2,500.
The turn arrived with 5♣ and Franklin checked again, instigating another bet of 7,800 from England, which received a quick call.
On the river 10♦ both players checked and Franklin turned over the A♦J♥ and England mucked giving Franklin the pot with his Broadway straight.
After the action had folded to Sean Balfour on the button he raised to 900. The big blind player then three-bet to 3,000. Belfour made the call to see a flop.
The monotone flop of J♥6♥9♥ was checked through, and both players checked again on the board-pairing 8♣ turn.
Once the J♣ came on the river and both players checked, the big blind flipped over K♥4♠ for just king-high. Much to his surprise, Balfour took down the pot with K♣10♣ for king-high with a higher kicker.
With a raise of 900 from the button, Juan Carlos Latuff called from the small blind.
The flop came 5♦8♠3♣, prompting the opponent and Latuff to both check.
The turn brought the K♠ and saw both players check again.
With a 4♥ completing the board, Latuff checked and his opponent made a half-pot sized bet. Latuff called and showed 9♥8♣, and the button mucked their hand.
