The under the gun player raised to 400, receiving calls from middle position and the small blind. Anthony Ajlouny, in the big blind, squeezed to 2,200. The original raiser clicked it back with a four-bet to 5,100 and only Ajlouny called.
The A♦8♥J♣ checked through to the 2♣ on the turn. Ajlouny took the lead for 3,100 and his opponent called.
The 4♠ river saw Ajlouny bet again, for another 3,100. Ajlouny's opponent made a quick call only to see Ajlouny roll over A♥Q♠ for top pair, cracking their own K♦K♥.

Action was picked up with 6,000 in the middle on a 4♠K♦6♦ flop.
Action checked over to the button player who fired 2,200. Under the gun folded but Keith Doering called from the cutoff.
Action went check-check on the 2♦ turn before Doering wagered 1,000 on the 5♠ river. His opponent went into the tank but tossed in a chip for a call and was good as he tabled K♠10♥.
