Kevin Ayow raised to 400 in middle position, the player in late position called, as did the player in the big blind.
The flop came 2♣2♦4♥, the big blind checked, Ayow continued with a bet of 700, late position folded and the big blind called.
The turn A♦ went check-check, bringing the 7♣ river. The big blind led out for 1,700 and Ayow called. The big blind showed K♦Q♦ and Ayow tabled 3♦3♥ for two pair, treys and deuces, to scoop the pot.
Matthew Bode raised to 400 in early position and was called by Gary Meadows, Michael Gaetjans, and two other players made the call.
Five players saw the J♥10♦7♠ scroll across. Two checks to Meadows and he bet 2,000 and was quickly raised to 6,000 by Gaetjans. It folded back to Meadows and he declared all in. Gaetjans quickly made the call.
Gary Meadows: J♠10♠
Michael Gaetjans: J♦10♥
The turn snapped off the 8♠ and when the 9♥ rolled off, Bode said, "I would have had the nuts!" telling his tablemates he had folded his queens; his neighbor confirmed he had seen them when he mucked.
With a jack-high straight on the board, the pot was chopped.

On a river reading 2♦2♠3♣4♦6♦, Faawan Bansay placed a bet of 2,700. Joseph Jozwiak spent some time surveying his opponent before pushing in a raise to 8,200.
Bansay quickly made the call and Jozwiak let out a sigh of disappointment as he tabled the Q♠10♥, showing he'd been caught bluffing.
Bansay showed the 9♦8♦ for a flush and claimed the pot.
