Joshua Field opened from middle position to 2,500, and everybody folded to the big blind who called.
The dealer fanned a flop of 5♦5♥10♣, where Field continued with a bet of 1,500. The big blind called. However, the action slowed down on the turn with the 3♠
The river brought the 9♣, and the big blind checked once again. Field then fired a bet of 7,500. The big blind took a moment to think about this move but eventually folded.

Bryan Piccioli raised to 2,700 and faced a three-bet to 7,900 from two seats over. The button then pushed all-in for 41,700 and Piccioli went all-in over the top. The three-bettor folded and mentioned to have let go of pocket kings without showing them while Piccioli's A♦A♠ and the A♣A♥ of the button were exposed.
No upset took place on the 8♥7♦4♠J♥4♥ runout as they chopped it up.
"Good fold," Henry Li chimed in towards the third player in the hand.

Anatoly Nikitin raised to 2,500 and Loic Benoit Muller three-bet to 6,600 out of the small blind, which Nikitin called. On a flop of K♥Q♣J♥, both players checked and Muller check-called a bet worth 6,000 on the 4♦ turn. He then also checked the A♠ river and Nikitin bet 18,000.
Muller went deep into the tank to reluctantly call but mucked when he was shown the 10♥10♠ for broadway.

The PokerNews team was called over to a table in Horseshoe Blue section with a massive pot of close to 180,000 in the middle on a completed board showing 10♦5♥4♠K♦4♣. David Dawson moved all in from the big blind for 110,600 and his opponent in early position went deep in the tank.
After over five minutes of deliberation, the early position played reluctantly let his cards go and the pot was sent to Dawson without showdown.
"What do you guys think I have?" asked Dawson as the dealer shipped him the large pot.
A few tablemates said "full house" before Dawson stood up and slammed down Q♥J♣ for the queen-high bluff.
"Old guys don't bluff right?" joked Dawson as the whole table was shocked at what they saw. Dawson laughed with the table as he stacked his newly acquired chips.
