According to the players, Tamara Hanna opened the action with a raise from cutoff. Matt Gross called in the small blind. Teri Schwimmer then three-bet from the big blind. Hanna folded, Gross called.
Flop came 10♦K♦6♣. Gross led out with a bet, and Schwimmer put him all in. Gross called.
Matt Gross: 10♠10♣
Teri Schwimmer: K♠K♦
Both players flopped a set and Gross was all but out, drawing to a one-outer. The turn was the 4♠, but it was on the river that the table erupted as the 10♥ showed up, saving Gross and giving Schwimmer a bad beat for the majority of her stack.
Hanna, who folded to the preflop three-bet, said she also would have flopped a set with pocket sixes. What made the hand even more dramatic is that Schwimmer had previously won a big pot with quad tens herself, against a full house, jacks full of tens. Schwimmer took the beat well and still has some chips to play, while Gross is now on a very decent stack of about 200 big blinds.

The river came the 6♣. Edwards bet 9,000. His opponent thought for a long time before folding.
Edwards flashed a big smile. "Great fold brother!" he said as he showed the 7♣7♥ for flopped quads.

Last year Do Chung Tran played a hand in which he did not want reported due to his choice of cards and he joked about his mom not approving.
This hand should be mom approved:
The player on the button raised to 1,500 and Tran called from the small blind. The flop came out with 5♥6♦6♠ and Tran checked to the raiser who put out a bet of 1,100 and Tran called.
On the turn 4♦ both players checked.
The river 3♥ is where Tran took the lead and bet out 2,000 and the button quickly called and mucked as Tran held the K♥7♥ for the straight.

Decorated veteran and 99-year old Gene Bellar still has what it takes to crack aces, per the information relayed to PokerNews by his tablemates.
Bellar check-called three streets with pocket kings on a board reading KxQx8xQxJx and cracked the aces of Perry Smith with his full house.
Bellar started the tournament today as a featured competitor and the announcer of the 'Shuffle Up and Deal', as he was honored for his service and accomplishments here in Event #67: $500 Salute to Warriors.
Level 6
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Action was caught on the turn with the board reading 2♣4♦K♥K♠. Carlos Serafin made a bet of 2,800 from the big blind and Margo Lundahl on the button called.
The river came the A♦. Serafim reached for betting chips, but thought better of it and switched his decision to a check. Lundahl also checked and flipped over 6♠6♣.
Serafim cheerfully said that sixes are good, and Lundahl was happy to take down the pot. Serafim later added he had a pair of fours.
The mood a the table was very cheerful and chatty, and the excited Lundahl explained that the dealer at the table had dealt her a lot of really good hands at a different tournament. She also showed PokerNews her screensaver, which is a picture she took with the legend Doyle Brunson, when she, as she explained, got to meet him and had him sign her football just a few weeks before passing away.
