There was a limp under the gun. A player then raised to 1,200 in early position. Middle position called, the button called, Jared Jaffee in the small blind called, and the limper called.
The players were off to a flop five ways. The 3♣6♦9♣ hit the board and without thinking for too long Jaffee led out for 3,000 into the field. To the surprise of the table every single player folded.
A player at the table said "You go ahead and take that one" to which Jaffee replied "Not bad when you flop top set every hand"
We may never know if he was joking or not but he scooped a good pot with no resistance.
On a heads-up turn board of K♠2♣2♦J♦, Tyler Cornell led out for 8,000 and his opponent, Pierpaolo Papadia, made the call.
The two players then went to the river A♥, and Cornell fired again for 20,000. Papadia then went into the tank for a good while, thinking about his next move.
After a while, he flicked in the chip to call, at which point Cornell tapped the table and tabled 8♦5♦ for a busted flush draw for eight-high. Papadia then proudly showed Q♣10♣ for the rivered Broadway and he was shipped the substantial pot.

The middle position player showed Q♥J♣ for a pure bluff and Litsou tabled A♦K♦ for an ace-high flush to take down a nice pot.

On a heads-up turn of J♠6♦3♥7♠, Vivian Saliba checked to Nick Schulman on her left who then bet 3,000.
After thinking for a few seconds, Saliba then check-raised him to 6,500, which made Schulman look puzzled but he made the call anyways to see the Q♥ on the river.
Saliba then announced a bet of 14,000 and this made Schulmann look extremely puzzled, shaking his head multiple times and looking around the room for some kind of sign. He evently tossed his cards into the middle at which point Saliba asked if he wanted to see and he then flipped over her cards to expose 4♦4♥ for a whopping pair of fours to win here the pot.

Action folded back to Aldemir, who tanked for a bit before sending his entire stack into the middle for a five-bet to 47,000. His opponent looked a bit frustrated, but eventually folded and Aldemir chipped back up to around a starting stack.
