Alexey Ruzin bet 3,000 from the cutoff on a flop of J♣10♣9♠ and Eric Piderit moved all in for 34,300 under the gun. Ruzin called without noticing that Michael Liang had yet to act in early position. Liang ended up calling and Ruzin's initial call stood.
The turn was the 3♥ and Liang moved all in for an additional 2,000. Ruzin called and turned over K♥Q♥, while Liang had 10♥10♦ for a set and Piderit had 5♣2♣ for a flush draw.
"I said I wanted to loosen the table up, but not this much," Piderit said as the river came the K♣, completing his flush and earning him a triple up while Ruzin took the last of Liang's chips in the side pot.

Content creator Alexandra Loveless, whose surname is the title of an acclaimed 1991 album by British shoegaze pioneers My Bloody Valentine, found herself on the river in a heads-up pot with the board reading A♠2♥6♦3♠A♥.
Her heads-up opponent bet 10,000 on the river with about that already in the pot. Loveless folded as her opponent showed an ace.
The next hand, Loveless raised in late position the big blind called. Both players checked down until Loveless fired a river bet to win the small pot.
