After WSOP bracelet winner Owais Ahmed raised in the cutoff with two limpers in front of him, four players saw a flop.
The flop rolled out 3♣7♥7♣, and action checked around to Ahmed, who bet, and only Victor Salcedo called on the button.
Ahmed bet two more times on the 9♦ turn and the 8♣ river and Salcedo called both times.
"Ace-deuce and nut flush," Ahmed said as he tabled A♣8♦6♣2♦, which had Salcedo shaking his head showing K♥K♣4♣3♥ for an inferior flush and no low.
Scooping the whole pot, Ahmed continued in discussion with tablemate and fellow bracelet winner Matt Grapenthien about the 25k Fantasy Draft, at which Ahmed was drafted by Team BTG.

Heads up on a flop of Q♣J♠9♠, Mike Wattel bet from the big blind and Timothy Foley raised under the gun. Wattel called and the 10♣ fell on the turn.
Foley then bet again, but this time Wattel came back with his own raise. Foley let out a loud sigh as he tossed his cards away, and Wattel took down the pot.

David Arganian raised in the cutoff and in the big blind, Peter Balda called.
The flop rolled out 6♦Q♦A♣ and Balda check-called a bet from Arganian.
On the turn 5♠, Balda checked a second time over to Arganian who bet and Balda responded with a raise which Argainian called.
Both players checked the river 3♣ and Arganian tabled A♦A♥J♣8♣ for three aces with a live eight. Balda showed his 5♦5♣3♠3♦ for a turned set of five and a rivered set of threes, which were no good for either half of the pot.

Multiple bets were already in the middle as four players went to the turn on a board of J♠2♣Q♦6♥. Thomas Poole then bet under the gun and German Quintero called in the hijack, as did Thomas Scarber in the cutoff.
John Zaleski was on the button and put in a raise as all three opponents called to the A♣ river. Action was then checked to Zaleski who slowed down and checked back.
Zaleski showed Q♣Q♠7♣7♦ for a flopped set and Poole flashed J♦J♥ before mucking, while Scarber had A♥8♣5♣3♦ for a low to chop the pot with Zaleski.
