Jamar Adams opened to 600 from middle position and found one caller in Kevin Gerhart from the big blind.
Gerhart check-called a 500 bet from Adams on the Q♥A♣2♥ flop and a 1,600 bet from Adams on the A♠ turn.
The 3♥ filled out the board and Gerhart checked a final time. Adams fired 6,500 into the middle and Gerhart thought a bit before making it 25,000 to go.
Adams quickly called and Gerhart tabled A♦3♠ for a full house. Adams shook his head and revealed 9♥7♥ before sending them into the muck.
"I'm never folding there in case he just has an ace," Adams remarked as Gerhart collected the pot.

After the hijack opened to 600 and the button three-bet to 2,000, Pierre Calamusa on the button four-bet to 5,000 and got both of his opponents to fold.
On the next hand, Calamusa opened to 500 from the cutoff, and Catherine Brent Griffin defended from the big blind. Calamusa continued for 400 on 9♠K♥3♦, then Griffin raised to 1,000.
Calamusa called and called again after Griffin bet 1,100 on the A♠ turn. Griffin checked the 5♥ turn, so Calamusa bet 5,300 and got her to fold.
Calamusa then opened to 600 from the hijack and was called by Troy Quenneville, in the cutoff, and by the big blind.
On a flop of 6♥9♦2♦, Calamusa bet 600 and Quenneville was the only one to call. Calamusa checked the J♣ turn, but folded to Quenneville's bet of 5,700.

Action was picked up on the flop in a pot between Ted Gonzalez in early position and Franklin White in middle position with 1,300 in the center.
The flop rolled out A♣6♠9♥ and Gonzalez bet 500 to see White quickly call.
On the turn 10♠, Gonzalez sized up to 2,200 and White called again.
Gonzalez checked the river 2♠ over to White who bet 5,000 and Gonzalez called.
White tabled A♠Q♣ for a pair of aces with a queen, but it was second best against Gonzalez who held A♦K♦ for a pair of aces with a king and he was awarded the pot.
