No-Limit Hold'em

Joey Couden raised to 70,000 under the gun. It folded to Richard Freitas in the big blind, who defended. Couden continued for 75,000 on the 2♥9♦6♥ flop, and Freitas check-called.

The J♥ turn then checked through to the Q♥ river. Freitas dropped in a bet of 200,000, which Couden called after some thought. Freitas opted to forfeit the pot by mucking his cards, and Couden tabled Q♣J♣ for two pair.

Omaha Hi-Lo

Over at the other table, Thomas Taylor could be seen betting the 7♠K♦K♥5♣ turn from the big blind. Yu Li called under the gun, and reluctantly called off when Taylor pushed in his last 25,000 on the 9♥ river.

Taylor tabled K♠K♣J♣4♦ for quad kings, and Yu only briefly flashed AxQx10x before his cards were added to the muck.

2-7 Triple Draw

After the second draw, Shaun Deeb bet from the small blind, only to be raised by Richard Freitas under the gun. Deeb chuckled before he called after some thought.

Both players drew one card on the final draw, leading Deeb to say, "f**k me, nice hand."

Deeb then led out with a bet, and Freitas called to showdown after some time in the tank.

Deeb showed 8x6x5x3x2x for an eight-six, besting the 8x7x6x5x2x of Freitas to rake in the chips.
