Tumbas in the small blind made the call and showed 7♥7♠, whilst the opponent mucked their hand, increasing Tumbas's stack to 66,000.

The flop showed Q♥2♥K♦ and Connor Richards had bet 6,000. The big blind check-raised all in for 13,000 and got cold-called by the under the gun player. Richards then moved all in himself for around another 64,000. After some thought the under the gun player folded and the cards were revealed.
Big Blind: 2♦2♠ 
Connor Richards A♥A♣
Richards couldn't find an ace on the 8♣ turn and 4♠ river as the big blind player earned a much-needed double-up.

Claudio Elizalde: A♣Q♥
The board ran out quite badly for Elizalde with 8♥7♣9♥6♠6♥ which gave Tran the winner with trip sixes.

Roger Samson II raised it up to 2,400 in the middle position and the player in the hijack made the call.
A flop of 3♣J♠10♥ did not scare Samson who made a continuation bet of 5,200 who then received a quick call.
8♦ appeared on the turn and fearless Samson bet again for 12,000 and got a call again.
The river brought the 2♦ and Samson slowed down slightly betting 10,000. The player in the hijack went into the think tank and then called as he stated, "I will call, good hand", and showed 9♥8♣. But Samson had the two pair with J♥8♥ and scooped the pot.
