The flop showed 8♥2♣10♥, and the player in the hijack had bet 5,000. Sean Martin raised all in for 34,000 from the cutoff, and after some time, the hijack made the call.
Sean Martin: A♥5♥
Cutoff: J♣9♦
The Q♥ turn meant Martin was guaranteed to double up with a flush as a meaningless 4♥ came on the river.

PokerNews arrived at the table to see a flop of 5♦3♦2♠, with Jason Smith being all-in for his last 115,000 chips from the hijack. He was called by the player in the cutoff to make this a pot over 280,000 chips.
Jason Smith A♦6♦
Cutoff Ax4x
Smith managed to spike a flush on the 9♦ turn to have his opponent drawing dead, as the inconsequential 5♣ came on the river. Smith dragged in a huge pot as play nears the end of the day.

Kelly Money three-bet in the cutoff to 13,000 after being raised by the hijack player to 4,500. The player in the hijack called, and we were off to the flop, which was 5♦5♥8♦. The player in the hijack position bet out 6,000, and Money went all in for 55,000. The hijack called.
It took a long time to determine who had the bigger stack, but in the end, the hijack player had slightly fewer chips and was the one at risk.
Hijack: A♣A♥
Kelly Money: 8♣8♥
The hijack announced, "That's my luck," as the turn 8♠ and the river J♣ came out and sealed the deal for Money.
