On a flop of A♣7♠9♠, there was some back-and-forth betting between Taylor Howard and Dimas Martinez Jr. that ultimately led to a shove from Martinez and a quick call from Howard to put him at risk.
Dimas Martinez Jr. : A♠9♣
Taylor Howard : A♣K♥
Martinez Jr. held the lead with his flopped two-pair, and the runout of 5♦7♦ kept it that way for him to scoop the pot for a double while Howard was left short.

On a multi-way flop of 5♦A♦8♣. the action checked to Matthew Snook who bet 2,000 but then Joseph Rechtfertig moved all in for around 22,000.
The action then folded back around to Snook who thought about it for a few seconds before he shook his head and flashed the A♥ before sending it into the muck.
"I had all the outs," Rechtfertig announced as he showed 6♦7♦ for an open-ended straight and flush combo draw as he raked in the pot.
