Jefferson Montejo raised to 35,000 from the button, but Preston McEwen wanted to play for more and raised it to 110,000. Montejo gave it some thought and eventually decided on a call to send them to a flop.
McEwen bet 85,000 on the Q♠9♠8♥ flop. Montejo chose to raise the price and went all in, which garnered a fold from McEwen to end the hand.
Cary Katz raised to 33,000 from late position only to face a three-bet from Richard Pyne on the button to 80,000. Katz went into the tank for a short while and then called.
The flop came 10♦K♦4♠, and Katz check-called Pyne's 50,000 continuation bet, and the dealer dropped the 7♣ as the turn card. Katz checked again, and now Pyne bet out for 125,000. Katz called.
Both players checked the 5♣ river, "King-six" said Pyne, and Katz turned over A♦K♥ for top-top and was pushed the monster pot.
George Tomescu opened the action with a raise to 32,000 from the cutoff, which led to a call from Ignacio Sole from the big blind with not much left behind.
Sole checked the flop of 4♣K♠2♥ before Tomescu fired 16,000. Sole raised to 41,000 and was snap called by Tomescu.
Ignacio Sole: K♦4♦
George Tomescu: A♣K♣
Sole was in trouble preflop, but he managed to not only outflop Tomescu, but do so in a way where Tomescu had a strong piece of the board.
The 2♠ turn and the 8♥ river were safe for Sole as he found a double against Tomescu.
