On a flop of 9♠6♣5♠, Jacob Wilson had a raise to 14,000 out in front while in the big blind. Fabio Bonatto then pushed all-in for 38,100 and Wilson reluctantly called with the slightly covering stack.
Fabio Bonatto: 10♠10♣
Jacob Wilson: Q♠7♠
The Q♦ turn improved Wilson and the 5♥ river changed nothing anymore.

Picking up the action on the turn, Kaspars Butans in the small blind was involved in a hand with Pedro Madeira from under the gun.
With the board reading 2♣4♥7♠6♠ Butans checked. Madeira bet out 19,000 and Butans called.
Butans checked again following the 3♥ river, prompting Madeira to fire another barrel, this time sizing up just a bit to 22,100. After some thought, Butans flicked in a call holding 4♣4♠ and emerged triumphant as Madeira could only show K♠Q♠ for a missed flush draw to concede a sizable pot.
