Belgium PokerStars Pro Christophe De Meulder was recently sent to the rail and the hand was recalled to us by a tablemate. With a raise to 1,275 from middle position and a flat call from the hijack position, De Meulder moved all in for his last 13,500 with pocket jacks in the cutoff. The original raiser moved all in over the top with pocket tens, but the hijack was sitting there smiling with pocket aces!
The board bricked out 
and De Meulder was done.
A player in late position raised to 1,300 and was called by Lauren Kling from the cutoff, the button and the big blind. All players checked the 
flop and the

Action checked to the button who bet 3,100. Everyone folded except Kling, who made the call and saw the

for a pair of tens. It was good as her opponent mucked, and with that she managed to increase her stack to 180,000.

A player limped from middle position and the hijack seat raised to 1,600. Jonas Kronwitter reraised from the button to 4,700. The limper folded and then the hijack seat went into the tank. Eventually, he mucked and Kronwitter picked up the pot to move to 46,000 in chips.
A few hands later, Kronwitter was involved again. On the board of 
, a player check-called a bet of 5,200 from Kronwitter before the river completed the board with the

We happened upon Gabe Kaplan's table as he sat in the big blind, facing a raise and a reraise. Kaplan looked like he was considering a shove, that is, until he caught sight of our reporter.
"I was thinking about it, but I don't want him writing about how bad I got it in," Kaplan said with a chuckle.
On the next hand, a middle position player opened for 1,400 and Kaplan three-bet to 5,200 from the small blind. His opponent moved all-in and Kaplan made the call. Kaplan's was up against pocket aces, but he ended up rivering a Broadway straight, the board running out 
.
Kaplan is up to 28,000.
On a board of 
and about 15,000 in the pot, Pieter de Korver was faced with a bet of 5,000 from his opponent. He didn't seem happy but made the call anyway.
His opponent simply mucked as de Korver showed . "That was good, you can't have it every time," de Korver said with a smile. With that, he added an extra 25,000 to his stack.
Catching the action on a flop of , a middle position player led out for 2,050 and Matt Savage made the call. The turn brought the and it was checked to Savage who fired 3,000. He was met with a check-raise to 8,050 but Savage insta-called.
The river was the

A player opened with a raise from middle position, then an opponent reraised all in for 9,000 behind him. The button called the reraise, then Dwyte Pilgrim shipped all in over the top for about 65,000 from the small blind.
The big blind got out, and both the original raiser and the player on the button folded as well. For what it's worth, the original raiser later said he folded .
If he did fold kings, Pilgrim's reshove had served him well as he tabled . His lone remaining opponent had , and after the board came 
, Pilgrim had knocked out another while moving his stack up to 95,000.
Eli Elezra called an opponent's bet of around 8,000 on a 
board. Elezra wasn't happy to see his opponent turn over and tossed his cards into the muck. Elezra was left with 25,500.
Facing a limp, Daniel Neilson made it an additional 1,300 from the big blind with the limper making the call.
Neilson checked the
