Ali turned over A♠10♣3♣2♦ for trips and a low, while Abitbol had A♦K♣7♥3♠ for the same low as Ali took the high and chopped up the low pot.

Ramon Rochin bet from under the gun on a flop of J♣7♣3♦ and Stoyan Madanzhiev raised in the hijack. Domingo Enciso called on the button, while Rochin also stuck around and called.
The turn was the 10♦ and Madanzhiev bet again. Both opponents called to the 2♥ river, where Madanzhiev put out another bet. Enciso, though, came back with a raise this time.
"Did you see what I had? Disgusting," Rochin said to a tablemate as he folded. Madanzhiev took a minute before calling as Enciso showed A♥10♠6♥4♠ for a low, while Madanzhiev had A♦K♣J♦10♣ for two pair to chop the pot.
"I had ace-queen of clubs, nine-deuce of diamonds. Open-ended straight draw, both flush draws. How do I miss?" Rochin lamented after the hand.

Brad Ruben raised in the hijack and Michael Krascenko called in the big blind.
The flop rolled out 7♦5♥4♦ and Ruben bet after being checked to and Krascenko raised which Ruben called.
Krascenko bet on the 8♣ turn and A♣ river and Ruben called each time.
"Three-two and six-three," said Krascenko as he turned over 6♠3♠3♦2♦ for both a wheel and a seven-high straight to take down the pot with both halves.

Brad Owen was in the big blind and put in a five-bet preflop as Jyri Merivirta in early position, button Sarong Chao, and small blind Jason Viriyayuthakorn all called.
The flop came Q♦8♦8♣ and Owen continued with a bet. Merivirta and Viriyayuthakorn called, while Chao got out of the way.
The turn was the 8♥ and Owen bet again. Merivirta quickly folded, while Viriyayuthakorn also tossed his cards into the muck as Owen showed A♣A♥7♥5♥ before taking in the pot.

AJ Kelsall raised from late position, and Christopher Vitch three-bet from the hijack. Michael Palumbo then four-bet from the small blind, prompting both Kelsall and Vitch to call.
The flop came A♠ 7♠ 5♣, and Palumbo bet. Kelsall raised, which Vitch called, and Palumbo, who was all in, also called.
On the turn, the 2♦ appeared, and Kelsall bet again, with Vitch calling.
The river brought the 4♥, and Kelsall checked to Vitch, who bet. Kelsall sighed and mucked his hand.
Michael Palumbo: A♥ K♦ 8♦ 6♥ 
Christopher Vitch: A♦ K♣ 10♠ 3♠
Vitch rivered a wheel for the low, while Palumbo made his high hand. Kelsall shook his head as the pot was chopped between Palumbo and Vitch.
