Viktor Blom opened to 5,000 from under the gun and Shaun Deeb three-bet to 18,000 from middle position. Blom made the call.
The flop came K♦7♥5♦ and the rest of the chips quickly got in the middle with Deeb having a bit more than 65,000 behind and Blom covering him.
Shaun Deeb: A♦K♥10♦3♥ 
Viktor Blom: A♠6♠3♠2♣
The rest of the board ran out 5♠J♣. No low was possible and Deeb was good at showdown with kings up to score a full double up through Blom.

Taylor Wilson opened to 4,000 from middle position, and Naoya Kihara three-bet to 17,000 from the hijack. Wilson responded with a pot-sized raise, and Kihara, who started the hand with around 30,000, made the call to put himself at risk.
Naoya Kihara: A♣K♦10♠2♠
Taylor Wilson: A♠K♣5♥4♦
The board ran out K♥5♣2♥7♣6♣. Neither player had a low and Wilson was good at showdown with kings and fives to take the pot while Kihara was sent to the rail.

Tom Koral opened to 4,000 from the hijack and received calls from Taylor Wilson in the cutoff and a player in the small blind.
All three players checked the K♥8♦7♠ flop leading to the 6♠ turn. The small blind checked, Koral bet 10,000, Wilson called and the small blind folded.
On the 10♥ river Koral bet 36,000 and this time it was enough to force a fold from his opponent.
