Ceyhan Tezcan opened to 2,000 from under the gun and was only call by Vanoncini Nunzio who defended from the big blind.
Both players checked on a flop of 7♣4♥Q♥. But after Nunzio checked again on the 5♦ turn, Tezcan bet 2,000. Nunzio quickly called.
The 3♠ landed on the river, and Nunzio led out for 6,500. "You have the straight," Tezcan said while folding. "Maybe," answered Nunzio.

Nicolai Nasenkov in early position raised to 2,000, and everybody folded to Michael Komatz in the big blind who called.
The dealer fanned a flop of 4♠9♥7♣. Komatz checked and Nasenkov checked back to find the 2♥ turn where Komatz decided to bet 2,500. He received a call, but the 3♣ river brought no more action as both players checked.
Komatz revealed 10♥7♦ for a pair. Nasenkov's cards went directly into the muck, so Komatz scooped the pot.
