All three players checked the 8 turn, and the dealer added the river A to the board.

Action checked round again, and Pinilla tabled JJ. Souriau then revealed the river had improved him to top pair with his AJ, and when Mateos mucked his hand, the pot was pushed in the direction of Souriau.

Brian Barker opened to 3,000 in the cutoff and was called by Gregory Sly on the button, John Bunch in the small blind, and Ja Sim in the big blind.

The flop rolled out AQJ and action checked around to Sly who bet 6,000. Bunch raised to 18,000 which folded out Sim while Barker raised to 32,000. Sly moved all in for 38,000 and Bunch jammed all in over the top which saw Barker fold.

Bunch had flopped Broadway up against Sly's top and bottom pair. The board ran out 93 and Bunch's Broadway held up as the best hand while Sly was eliminated.

"That's a hand even Kessler would be proud of," said Bunch as he raked in the pot.
