Three players brewed a pot of 3,900, and the K♠7♣5♥ flop was already on the felt. The action quickly checked to the 4♣ turn.
The player first to act fired a pot-sized bet of 3,900, and both Thomas Taylor and Mike Dentale made the call.
The 3♣ fell on the river, and once checked to, Taylor dropped two chips across the line for a bet of 10,000. Both of his opponents pitched their cards into the muck.
Dylan Weisman raised to 400 preflop from the button and was called by the player in middle position.
The two players went heads up to a flop of 6♥A♠2♣ and when action checked to Weisman he bet 700 and his opponent called. The turn brought a 8♣ and Weisman potted for 2,700 and was again called by his opponent.
The river brought a 4♣ and both players checked. Weisman announced two pair and showed A♥K♥7♣4♠ and his opponent showed A♦9♦2♦Xx which the dealer quickly mucked and passed Weisman the pot.
