Dan Gannon: 10♦10♣ All in
Nicolas Milgrom: K♠K♦

Gannon was in rough shape with his dominated pair. He could not find any help on the Q♥Q♦7♣6♦Q♠ runout as Milgrom's kings held and the rich get richer as Milgrom extends his lead atop the counts.

2-7 Triple Draw

Hiroshi Tanaka raised from under the gun and was called by Seth Perlman in the hijack, Caitlin Comeskey in the cutoff, and Dario Alioto in the big blind for a four-way pot.

Alioto and Comeskey drew one on the first draw while Tanaka and Perlman took two off. Alioto then led out for a bet and everyone called.

On the second draw, Alioto stood pat and everyone else drew one. Alioto bet again, which got a fold from Tanaka, but a raise from Perlman. Comeskey got out of the way and Alioto called.

Both payers stood pat on the end and Alioto check-called a bet from Perlman who fanned out 7x6x5x4x2x for a seven.

Alioto slid his cards into the muck and Perlman was awarded a nice pot.

Limit Hold'em

Paul Carney raised from the cutoff, Christian Malick three-bet from the button, and Ting Zhou made it four bets from the small blind. Anthony Ruberto cold-called in the big blind, Carney folded, Malick capped it at five bets, and both opponents called.

On the 8♦8♣5♦ flop, Zhou led all-in for her final 500 and both opponents called.

The K♥ turn and 2♠ river were checked down.

Ting Zhou: K♠J♦ All in
Christian Malick: Q♥Q♦
Anthony Ruberto: 9♥9♣

Zhou was in rough shape against Malick's queens but she found a king on the turn to make the winner and she held to drag a big one.

Omaha Hi-Lo

Action picked up four-ways to the K♣J♠8♣ flop as Hiroyuki Noda led from the big blind before Thomas Taylor
raised from the cutoff. Terrance Reid on the button and Christopher McHugh in the small blind cold-called before Noda folded.

On the 8♠ turn, Taylor bet again and both opponents called.

The river brought the J♦. McHugh checked to Taylor who bet, Reid raised, McHugh folded, and Taylor flicked in the call. Reid tabled K♥Q♦J♣9♠ for a full house, jacks full of kings, to scoop a big one.
