Heads-up on a flop of Q♣J♠10♠, Dan Zack bet 17,000 from the small blind and Anthony Ribeiro moved all in for 60,000 in the cutoff. Zack took a few minutes but eventually called to put Ribeiro at risk.
Anthony Ribeiro: 10♣9♣ 
Dan Zack: A♦J♥
Zack was ahead with his pair of jacks, while Ribeiro had a pair and straight draw. The turn was the Q♠, while the Q♦ river improved Zack to a full house and sent Ribeiro to the rail.

No-Limit Hold'em
Sean Steffens opened the button to 7,000 before Mike Leah jammed for 46,500 from the big blind. Steffens would go deep in the tank for almost two minutes before he elected to call for the majority of his stack.
Mike Leah: A♣4♥
Sean Steffens: 7♠7♣
Steffens was primed for the knockout but the K♥Q♦J♠ flop gave Leah a gutter to go along with his overcard. Nothing changed on the 6♣ turn until the 10♦ river gave Leah broadway and left Steffens on crumbs.

Big O
Troy Carpenter bet 14,000 from the hijack on a flop of A♠9♥7♦ and Terrance Reid potted to 70,000 in the small blind. David Wesson got out of the way in the big blind. "If you really have that hand, then I'm shit out of luck," Carpenter said as he called for his last 67,000.
Troy Carpenter: A♥Q♥9♦9♣2♥
Terrance Reid: A♣K♠10♦9♠5♣
Carpenter showed down a set of nines, while Reid had just two pair until the last ace in the deck came on the A♦ turn, improving Reid to a full house. The 4♥ river gave Carpenter some consolation with a chop, but he still stood by his seat stunned at being denied the double up.
"Holy hell. How does that card come out?" Carpenter muttered to himself.

Stud Hi-Lo
Tim Frazin selected Stud Hi-Lo and was immediately dealt the 2♣ as he brought it in. Justin Liberto completed and Charles Odenz called in last position, as Frazin came along as well.
Justin Liberto: K♠K♣ / K♥2♠7♦9♥ / 6♣
Charles Odenz: XxXx / Q♣K♦A♠3♥ / Xx
Tim Frazin: XxXx / 2♣Q♥J♥ - folded on fiifth street
The action checked through on fourth. On fifth, Odenz led, Frazin folded, Liberto raised, and Odenz called.
Odenz check-called bets on both sixth and seventh. Liberto revealed his rolled up trip kings which were good to scoop.

Stud Hi-Lo Regular
Dario Sammartino: XxXx/10♠4♠A♠5♣/Xx
Dennis Weiss: XxXx/A♣K♣3♦K♥/Xx
Gary Booth: XxXx/4♥2♥8♥2♦/Xx
Gary Booth bet on fifth street and was called by Dario Sammartino and Dennis Weiss.
Sammartino then led out with a bet on sixth and both opponents called. Sammartino bet again on seventh, but this time Weiss raised. Booth took a minute before folding, while Sammartino called.
Weiss showed 10♣6♣2♣ for a flush, while Sammartino had K♦8♠6♠ for a low to chop up Booth's contributions to the pot.
