Action folded to Kevin Roche in the hijack, and he raised to 55,000. Then once it folded to Christopher Csik on the button, he three-bet to 150,000. After the blinds folded, Roche made the call to see a flop.
Roche called a bet of 170,000 from Csik after the J♦5♦K♣ flop.
Both players checked after the A♠ hit on the turn.
The river brought the 9♦ and Roche bet out 325,000. Csik sat in the tank debating his decision, and he eventually made the call for majority of his stack.
Roche turned over 6♥5♥ for a pair of fives, and Csik had the winner when he tabled A♣7♣ for a pair of aces to take the sizable pot.

Andrew Kershaw opened the action with a raise to 40,000 from the hijack, and was called by Anthony Piacquadio in the cutoff, and the big blind Keith Crowder.
All three players checked after the 2♣9♣10♥ flop.
The turn was the 5♥ and Crowder bet out 80,000, before Kershaw raised to 275,000. Piacquadio quickly called the raise, and Crowder folded to leave the players heads up.
After the 5♣ on the river, Kershaw checked to Piacquadio who announced all in, and Kershaw immediately snap called for his last 359,000.
Piacquadio was visibly frustrated and slammed Q♦J♣ on the table for jack high and a missed straight draw. Kershaw then tabled the winner with J♥J♦ to take the pot with his pair of jacks.
