On a heads-up flop of 7♣6♦Q♠, the stacks got into the middle between Dudley Bienvenu and Russell Ross, with Ross covering.
Dudley Bienvenu: Q♥J♥
Russell Ross: K♦K♠
Ross was a big favorite with his overpair f kings, but runout was not kind to him as it came J♠Q♣ to give Bienvenu a runner-runner full house.
"Yeah, I gotta apologize for that one, that was nasty!" Bienvenu said to Ross as he raked in the big pot.

On a heads-up turn board that read 2♣5♠6♣, the pot was already swelled when Cord Garcia moved all in against Mark Pertgen.
Pertgen thought for several moments before he decided to make the call, putting himself at risk. He then flipped over 7♠7♦ for an overpair and an open-ended straight draw but was in second place when Garcia tabled 9♣9♦ for a superior pair.
The river bricked with the 4♣ and Pertgen was sent to the rail while Garcia was shipped the big pot, catapulting him into the chip lead.

On a heads-up turn of Q♠A♠A♥5♥, Jignesh 'Jay' Patel checked to Bryan Broussard who bet 4,000. Patel then check-raised to 13,000 and Broussard responded by moving all in to cover. Patel quickly called to put himself at risk and tabled A♦J♣ for trip jacks, ace-kicker.
Broussard was not too happy with the call as he tabled 4♦5♦ , drawing stone dead.
The river 7♣ secured Patel's victory in the hand and he was awarded the substantial pot for a big double.

After a couple of players limped, Tony Ho opened to 1,400 and was called by Ravee Sundara and Michael Nichols.
Sundara then bet out 6,000 in the dark and the flop came out 3♣Q♦10♠. Nichols got out of the way, but then Ho and Sundara managed to get it all in, with Ho at risk.
Sundara tabled a strong holding of K♥K♦, but it was behind Ho's Q♣10♣ for top two pair.
The runout of 8♣J♣ further improved Ho to a flush and he was awarded the pot for a double.
"You limp-called with kings?" Ho asked Sundara, puzzled.
"You cannot play every hand the same," Sundara simply responded, "You have to mix it up."
