Joao Estanislau: A♦J♥
Santhosh Suvarna: K♥K♦
Suvarna wasn't ahead for long, as Estanislau flopped two jacks on the J♣Q♣J♦ board.

Heads-up to the A♣9♥A♦ flop, Gabriel Cansino checked from middle position to Dong Chen in the hijack. Chen bet 3,200, and Cansino called.
The 10♥ on the turn saw Chen size up significantly. His bet of 22,500 was again check-called by Cansino, and Cansino checked the Q♠ river as well.
Chen took some time before he settled on a bet of 25,700, which was quickly called by Cansino. Chen showed A♠10♠ for a full house, besting the A♥K♥ of Cansino, who was left with less than a starting stack.

After both players put in 7,800 preflop, action was picked up on the flop in a pot between Jesse Capps in hijack and Cristian Gutierrez in the cutoff.
The flop rolled out A♥3♣9♦ and Capps check-called a bet of 5,200 from Gutierrez.
Both players checked the turn A♣ to the river Q♦ where Capps checked over to Gutierrez who bet 18,400.
Capps sat shaking his head while discussing with himself the hand for a little while.
"Why did it have to be a queen on the river," he lamented as he pondered his decision.
He thought for a little while longer, but ended up putting the chips into the middle. Gutierrez turned over A♠J♣ for three aces and Capps tossed what he told to the table was KxKx into the muck while Gutierrez took in a sizable pot.

Pavels Spirins raised to 2,600 in middle position and Robert Kuhn defended from the big blind. The flop came 8♦5♥3♣ and Kuhn checked to Spirins who continued with a bet. Kuhn check-raised to 16,000 and Spirins just called.
The turn brought the 9♠ and Kuhn checked again. Spirins fired out a bet of 13,500 and Kuhn check-raised to 47,000. Spirins called and the A♦ landed on the river.
Kuhn checked for the third time and Spirins only gave him two options this time by shoving all in for 143,000. Kuhn asked for a count and went into the tank for at least two minutes.
"This might be the worst played hand ever," he said to himself while thinking. Kuhn eventually called and Spirins turned over 5♠5♣ for a set of fives while Kuhn was forced to show his K♣8♥ for just a pair of eights.
