The board read 
and Dennis Phillips was first to act, he opted to check. Phillip's opponent bet out 1,500 and after a few moments Phillips made the call.
The 
on the river found Phillips checking again and his opponent betting, this time 2,100. Phillips then went deep into the tank, contemplating his best options. After about two minutes had passed Phillips made the call and was shown 
by his opponent for a pair of aces with a ten kicker. Phillips flipped over the 
and mucked his cards.
The next table over also had a pot growing. The flop read 
and James Akkenhead opted to bet 1,475 after his opponent in early position had checked to him. A call was made and we were off to the turn.
The 
on the turn saw checks from both players.
The 
on the river seemingly awoke the early position player who fired out 4,475. Akkenhead measured out the right amount of chips fairly quickly and placed the call in the middle of the felt. Akkenhead's opponent flipped over 
for ace high, and Akkenhead mucked his hole cards.
