Giovanni Zanette raised to 900 from under the gun and was called by both Paul Clotar in the small blind and Mohamed Mamouni in the big blind.
The flop rolled out J♠J♦Q♦ and action checked around to Zanette who bet 1,000 and only Clotar stuck around.
On the turn 10♥, Clotar checked over to Zanette who bet 3,000 and Clotar nearly beat him into the pot with a call.
Clotar checked the river 9♠ and Zanette bet 10,000 to see Clotar quickly fold his hand.
"I had ace-jack," Clotar said in the post mortem of the hand "I was setting the trap and I get a runout like that."
"The river saved you money," replied Zanette as he raked in the pot.

Barny Boatman, Craig Jones, and Jack Dreifuss were in for 2,100 each heading to a flop, which came 10♣J♦3♠. Everyone checked on the flop and it was checked again to Boatman, who fired 5,000 into the middle on the 7♠ turn from the button. Dreifuss called from the small blind and Jones folded from middle position.
Both players checked on the K♣ river and Dreifuss announced, "Bottom pair" — prompting Boatman to show 10♠8♠ for a pair of tens to claim the pot.
On the very next hand, Sean Lindsey opened from middle position and Boatman three-bet to 2,200 from the cutoff. It was folded back to Lindsey, who called.
Lindsey check-folded facing a 2,800 bet from Boatman on the Q♣4♣K♥ flop — awarding Boatman his second pot in a row.

Chris Moneymaker’s Main Event run has come to an early end, for this year at least, after a dramatic full-house-over-full-house clash on Day 1a.
Moneymaker got involved in a deep river spot and ultimately made the call, but ran straight into a cooler. It's a tough exit for the 2003 WSOP Main Event champion.

The under-the-gun player folded and Martin quickly flipped over A♥J♣ for the nut flush hit on the river.
Correa Ortega revealed K♥K♣ for the second nut flush and saw the pot go in Martin's direction.

There were roughly 8,000 chips in the pot on a flop of J♦6♥A♦. Michael Rangel bet 4,000 from early position when the 8♦ hit the turn, and Bobby Baldwin called in the cutoff.
Rangel did not slow down on the Q♦ river, and he fired out another bet of 8,500. Baldwin responded with, "I call, I've got a flush," but Rangel tabled the nut flush with A♥K♦, and he scooped the pot.

With three players seeing a board of 7♣4♠5♣ and around 4,000 in the middle Joseph Bold checked from under the gun, Hal Hammaker checked from early position, and Richard Reisman bet 1,800 from the button. Only Bold called.
Bold checked the J♠ turn and Reisman bet 2,200. Bold check-raised to 7,000 and Reisman three-bet to 16,200. Bold called before both players checked the 3♠ river.
Reisman turned over J♣8♣ for top pair, which was enough to win the pot despite missing his flush draw.
