Alan Sternberg open-jammed his 42,500-chip stack into the middle and action folded around to the big blind. He made the call, covering Sternberg.
Alan Sternberg: A♣K♥
Big Blind: 8♥8♦
The flop came down 6♦J♦4♣ before the turn Q♦ peeled off, eliminating some of Sternberg's outs. The offsuit K♣ appeared and Sternberg sat down back in his seat, raking in a pile of chips.

Action was picked up on the flop with two players on a board showing 9♣6♠8♥ with 35,000 in the pot.
A player from the big blind checked to Martin Kabrhel in under the gun position, who bet 11,500. The player in the big blind then raised Kabrhel all in for 69,500. After double checking his hand, Kabrhel made the call.
Martin Kabrhel: 10♥9♥
Big Blind: K♠K♦
Kabrhel was at risk and behind the pocket kings with his pair of nines, and gut shot straight draw,
The turn was the 2♣ which was no help for Kabrhel, but when the river came with the 7♣ it improved him to a straight to get the double up.

On the river, the board read 4♣Q♣K♥J♥5♠. From the big blind, Ronnie Sewell bet 20,000 into a pot of 27,000.
His opponent in early position had to take a long time to think it out. He went deep into the tank as he considered it. Eventually, clock was called. The countdown started and he threw his cards into the muck as Sewell added another chunk to his growing stack.

The button opened the action with a raise to 6,000. Haixia Zhang three-bet to 21,000 from the small blind and her opponent made the call.

A player from middle position raised to 6,000 and Martin Kabrhel called in the hijack. Acton folded to the big blind Peter Cross, who three-bet all in for 83,000. The player in middle position made the call, and Kabrhel got out of the way, leaving the players heads up.
Peter Cross: A♦Q♥
Middle Position: 10♦10♠
It was a fair fight with Cross having two over cards to the pocket 10s. When the board ran out 9♥J♣Q♦ on the flop, it improved cross to a pair of Queens but gave his opponent an open-ended straight draw. But the 6♠ on the turn and 4♥ were safe ones for Cross and secured the double up.
