The pre-flop action was simple, with Louis Luo opening to 500 and getting calls from Bruno Portaro on the button and Sam Grafton in the cutoff.
Then the action started. Grafton checked the 
flop to Luo who continued for 1,000. Portaro flat-called and Grafton then check-raised to 3,000, getting to callers.
Grafton opted to check the 
turn, and Lou also checked. Portaro bet 6,500 and Grafton flat-called. Luo check-raised to 17,000 and Portaro thought.
After only a minute or so, Grafton called the clock and a perplexed Portaro wrestled with his decision before folding. Grafton also quickly folded and Luo took down the pot.

Peter Jetten:

to vault Jetten even higher on the leaderboard.

"You have kings?" Obara's opponent said, turning up aces.
But Obara had an even better hand, showing 
for a flopped straight.
"Oh," the other player reacted, knowing he was drawing dead. Obara scored a double, vaulting back over starting stack.
