Tony Cousineau, who had mentioned to his tablemates that he was on his second bullet the hand prior, limped in from the hijack. Players on the button and in the small blind limped behind and Ian Matakis checked in the big blind.
The flop came A♣J♥4♠ and action checked around to Cousineau who bet 5,000. The button folded, the small blind called and Matakis folded.
Cousineau moved all in for a bit under 20,000 on the Q♥ turn and was at risk when his opponent called with a covering stack.
Tony Cousineau: A♠K♠J♣10♦ 
Opponent: K♦6♦3♥2♠
The player in the small blind missed his low draw on the 4♥ river and Cousineau collected a full double up.

Maria Ho: A♦5♠2♠2♣
The cutoff was way ahead until the 2♦ turn improved Ho to a set of deuces. The J♣ river ensured that there would be no low. Ho improved to a full house and banked the knockout.

The early position player opened to 3,500 and was called by the player on their direct left. Action folded to Tony Cousineau in the big blind and he three-bet to 15,000. The original raiser called before the middle opponent jammed for around 24,000. With the action closed, the two remaining players in the hand called.
Cousineau put in his last 24,100 before the flop had been dealt, saying, "Let's see how I can get f***** here."
The dealer then fanned the 9♦7♥3♣ flop. Cousineau's opponent called as the bigger stack and the three hands were tabled.
Middle position: A♠J♦6♠5♠
Tony Cousineau: A♦A♣9♠2♦
Early position: A♥K♥4♠2♥
The board ran out with the 6♥3♠, confirming the middle position player's departure.
Couisneau aces were good for the high pot, while he shared the low pot with the early position player, as they both had the same six-seven low.
