Hold'em
David Benyamine raised first to act and was called by Sampo Ryynanen in the blinds. Ryynanen check-called a bet on the 
flop, but quickly folded to a second bet on the 
turn.
One table over, Shirley Rosario three-bet in the small blind and Richard Bai in late position made the call. Rosario immediately bet the 
flop and that was all it took to force a fold from Bai.

Hold'em
Chris Hunichen raised the button and Jared Bleznick three-bet out of the small blind. Brian Hastings made it four bets from the big blind and both called. The flop came 
and Bleznick was the only one to check-call a bet by Hastings before check-folding the 
turn.
All three remain well below the starting stack and Hastings has the most chips of the trio right now.
