On a heads-up flop of 4♠5♦9♣, David Coleman bet the pot of 46,000 and the action was then over to Ben Lamb.
Lamb, who only had 68,000 behind, went deep into the tank to consider his options.
After using three of his time banks, he finally decided to let it go and the pot was awarded to Coleman.

Three players limped in and Jeremy Ausmus then raised to 15,000 out of the big blind. Chris Brewer and Cary Katz called as a trio of players headed to the 10♠6♥2♠ flop. Ausmus tossed in two T-25,000 chips and that was enough to win the pot.

After a preflop betting war, Steven Veneziano moved all in and Michael Wang made the call, putting himself at risk.
Steven Veneziano: A♥A♣4♣5♦
Michael Wang: Q♠J♠J♣6♣
Steven Veneziano was in good shape to win a pot with his pocket aces, and the flop of 10♦A♦7♣ was very favorable for him as he flopped top set. Unfortunately, the runout of 9♦K♠ gave Wang the gutshot straight on the river to scoop the huge pot.
