After the first draw, Bruschi checked and Moncek bet. Both Benyamine and Bruschi called and each player drew one. After the second draw, Bruschi checked again and Moncek again bet to be called by both opponents. Bruschi and Moncek both called and Benyamine stood pat.

After the final draw, Bruschi checked and Moncek bet a final time. Benyamine called and Bruschi folded. Moncek showed 8x7x4x3x2x, but it was no good against the 8x5x4x3x2x of Benyamine.

Pot-Limit Omaha

Stephen Chidwick opened to 42,000 from under the gun and was called by Viktor Blom on the button. Joao Vieira then three-bet to 180,000 out of the small blind. Chidwick called off for his stack of 115,000 while Blom also made the call to put Chidwick at risk.

Vieira continued for 110,000 on the 4♠4♥8♥ flop. Blom quickly folded.

Stephen Chidwick: K♥K♣J♠7♥ All in
Joao Vieira: A♦K♦K♠6♦

Vieira and Chidwick currently held hands of equal showdown value though Chidwick did have greater equity with his flush draw. The 8♣ turn did not change anything but the Q♥ river brought in Chidwick's flush to ensure he would not have to share the spoils, instead finding a full triple up.
