With three players seeing a flop of J♥9♣4♥ and roughly 6,700 already in the middle, a player in the small blind checked and Alexey Neofitov bet 1,800 from middle position. Matthew Gray called in the hijack while the small blind got out of the way.
Neofitov fired a second barrel on the 3♣ turn, this time for 4,600. Once again Gray made the call.
On the 10♣ river Neofitov bet 8,600 and Gray snap-called.
Neofitov turned over A♠J♠ for top pair but Gray showed down 10♠9♠ for a rivered two pair to take down a healthy pot.

A player in middle position opened to 1,800 and received calls from Marian Dicu in the cutoff, a player on the button and a player in the big blind.
All four players checked on the K♥J♥10♥ flop leading to the Q♥ turn. The big blind checked, the original raiser bet 2,300, Dicu called and the other two players got out of the way.
The middle position player once again bet 2,300 on the 4♥ river and was called by Dicu. The middle position player tabled 10♠8♠ and was playing the flush that was on the board. Dicu first showed the J♦ in his hand before slowly turning over the 7♥ for a slightly bigger flush than what was already on the board to take the pot.

Fabio Cardoso opened to 3,000 from the hijack and received calls from a player on the button and Olena Opimakh in the big blind.
The flop came 8♥6♥4♦. Opimakh checked, Cardoso bet 5,500, the button folded and Opimakh called.
Opimakh check-called another bet from Cardoso on the J♣ turn, this time for 7,000.
Both players checked the A♠ river. Opimakh could only show K♥2♥ for a missed flush draw while Cardoso revealed 10♥10♠ for a pair of tens to take the pot.

A player in the hijack limped in and Mauricio Diaz limped behind in the cutoff. Jimmy Zahn then raised to 9,000 on the button, forcing the hijack out of the pot. Diaz moved all in for roughly 40,000 and Zhan snap-called with a covering stack to put Diaz at risk.
Mauricio Diaz: A♣9♣
Jimmy Zahn: J♦J♥
Zahn flopped the second-nuts with top set on the J♣9♥7♣ flop but still had to fade Diaz' nut-flush draw. Diaz failed to connect with the 8♥ turn or 4♦ river and was sent to the rail while Zahn scooped a massive pot.
