Joshua Bodell made it 300 to go from early position before Lawrence Letourneau three-bet to 1,200 from the hijack. When it got back to Bodell, he called to see a flop.
On the A♣J♠5♠ flop, Bodell checked, and Letourneau fired out a continuation-bet of 600. Bodell flicked in the call.
Both players were happy to check down the A♠ turn and K♦ river. Letourneau turned over Q♥Q♣ for two pair, aces and queens with a king kicker to take down the pot.

Mark Ayala opened the action with a raise to 600 from the button, and only Matthew Williams defended out of the big blind.
Both players checked the Q♦3♥7♥ flop to see the Q♠ roll off on the turn. Williams checked, and Ayala put out a bet of 600, which Williams called.
The Q♣ hit the river and Williams decided to lead out for 2,200. Ayala quickly folded, and Williams took down an early pot.
