Michael Marder raised to 2,500 in the hijack and Benjamin Pollak three-bet to 7,300 on the button. It folded back to Marder and he four-bet to 18,000. Pollak came along and they headed to the Q♥J♥J♣ flop on which Marder checked. Pollak now bet 12,000 and won the pot without further resistance.
With about 10,000 in the middle on the K♠10♠10♦2♣ flop, Alexander Prokudin checked to Linglin Zeng who dropped a bet of 6,500 across the line. Prokudin made the call.
The 7♦ completed the board on the river and both players tapped the table.
Prokudin tabled K♥8♥ and Zeng mucked her hand.
