Toby Joyce raised to 800 from early position, and was three-bet by Michael Shi in the cutoff, who chose a sizing of 3,000, and Joyce made the call.
Both players checked the 5♠7♠3♦ flop, then Joyce decided to lead for 2400 when the 6♠ peeled off on the turn. Shi made the call.
Joyce led for a second time on the river K♣, and Shi snap called. Joyce reluctantly showed Q♦J♦ for a queen-high bluff, as Shi tabled A♠A♦ and scooped in the pot.

Following an under the gun raise to 600, Thomas Middleton made it 2,400 from the button and was called only by Christopher Lee in the big blind.
On a flop of 4♣8♥2♦ Lee checked to Middleton, who bet out for 4,500. Lee made the call.
The turn 10♣ prompted Middleton to size up, this time to 12,000, and Lee once again made the call.
He then checked for a third time when the river came 5♥, and Middleton elected against a triple-barrel, and checked back. Lee flipped over 6♥6♦ which was good enough to take in the pot.
