With five players going to the flop, it looked as if a pot was brewing — but the K♠3♠K♦ was checked around the table.
When the turn came the 7♣, Barny Boatman flicked out a 1,000 chip into a pot of 6,000. However, the attractive odds on offer could not find a caller and all of his rivals folded.

Action began with a player in middle position betting 1,700 and receiving calls from the Justin Pechie in the cutoff as well as the small and big blinds.

Action began with Ye Yuan opening to 2,100 from middle position. He received calls from the cutoff, button, small blind and big blind.
The blinds checked on the 3♣2♣Q♠ flop and Yuan moved all in for his remaining 2,500 chips. He received calls from the cutoff and small blind and was at risk with the shortest stack.
The other two players checked the 3♦ turn and 4♥ river. The player in the small blind showed K♠Q♥J♦10♦ for top pair while Yuan showed A♠A♥2♠5♣ for the wheel straight to take down the pot and significantly increase his stack.
