Kenneth Hicks got the action rolling from the hijack, but Noah Goldman wasn’t letting him get away that easily. Goldman put in a three-bet to 14,500 from the cutoff, only for Hicks to ramp up the pressure with a four-bet to 40,000. Goldman took a moment, then made the call to take a flop.
The K♣7♠K♦ flop didn’t inspire much confidence from either player, and both opted to check it down.
The passive line continued through the 10♠ turn and 9♣ river, sending the hand straight to showdown.
Goldman tabled Q♣Q♦, good for kings and queens, and that was more than enough to take it down as Hicks mucked his cards.

Joshua Hillock raised to 5,000 from the hijack, and only Katherine Porrello called, defending her big blind.
The dealer spread a 6♥8♣A♦ flop, and Hillcock continued for 3,500, which Porrello check-called.
Porrello checked for a second time on the 10♦ turn, and Hillcock turned up the heat with a bet of 15,500. Undeterred, Porrello called again.
The dealer then burned and turned the K♦ river, and when checked to for a third time, Hillcock took one look back at his cards before checking back.
Hillcock tabled Q♥9♥ for queen-high, and Porrell showed she could beat that with her 10♠7♣ for one pair.

William Leunis checked from under the gun with the board showing Q♣A♦7♦8♣ and Miltiadis Kyriakides bet 18,000 from the cutoff. Leunis didn't take long to make the call with just 35,000 behind.
Leunis checked for the last time upon seeing the 6♦ river, and Kyriakides immediately bet enough to put Leunis all in. Leunis snap-folded and Kyriakides asked: "What did you have?", Leunis responded by asking Kyriakides the same thing "What did you have?". Kyriakides didn't reply. Instead, he just added the chips to his stack.
