Phan took one and Cipriano took three. Phan was the pat and Cipriano needed one.

Cipriano needed one on the final draw and showed a 10x, which was no good against the 8x7x6x5x2x of Phan as he found a much needed double.

Sandvik check-called a bet from Lipiner on the A♥A♠A♣ flop and then both players checked down on the 6♦ turn and 6♣ river.

Sandvik turned over 7♦7♥ first, followed by 4♣3♥. Lipiner mucked his hand and Sandvik was sent the pot.

Pot-Limit Omaha

Colton Blomberg from the small blind and Valentin Vornicu from the hijack were heads-up to the J♥5♥5♦ flop with around 100,000 in the middle already. Blomberg potted, and Vornicu called off his stack of 92,000.

Valentin Vornicu: 8♠8♦7♥5♠ All in
Colton Blomberg: A♠A♦K♥6♣

Vornicu had flopped trip fives against the aces of Blomberg, who had only a backdoor straight draw with no flush potential. The 3♥ turn changed nothing before the 7♦ river gave Vornicu a full house as he secured the double.
