Action was joined on the turn, with the board showing Q♥6♥J♠5♣ and Stephen Chidwick checking from the hijack. P.J. Cha, the button, bet 10,000. Chidwick raised to 35,000. Cha took several moments before deciding to call.
The river came 3♣. Chidwick led out for 27,000, and Cha made the call. Chidwick turned over A♥Q♠ for top pair, and Cha mucked his hand.
Uri Reichenstein and Vitor De Souza Coutinho saw a flop of 6♠4♠3♥ with already around 70,000 in the middle and Matthew Silva all in from the big blind.
Coutinho led out for 37,000 from the small blind and Reichenstein called. The turn came the A♥ and Coutinho then checked over to Reichenstein, who fired out 32,000.
Coutinho took his time before he called as the J♣ fell on the river. He checked again and Reichenstein bet enough to put him all in.
Coutinho tanked for a few minutes before calling off his last 80,000 with K♥K♦. Reichenstein, though, had 6♣6♦ for the flopped set. Silva showed A♣Q♠ and asked to take a picture of the board before joining Coutinho on the rail.
Lynne Ji was heads-up on the button against Alan Percal in the big blind on a board of 9♥2♠6♣4♠. Percal checked to Ji, who announced she was all in, which was enough to put Percal all in for around 120,000. Percal called and hands were revealed.
Alan Percal: K♠K♥
Lynne Ji: 7♣5♣
Percal was ahead with his kings, but the 8♦ river drilled Ji's straight draw and she collected the rest of Percal's chips.
In a three-way raised pot, the flop was 2♠9♣4♣ when the big blind checked to Benjamin Winsor who bet 6,000. Only Upeshka De Silva made the call from the button.
The turn was the 7♣ and this time Winsor check-called De Silva for 12,500.
The duo checked on the Q♠ river and De Silva sent his cards into the muck after Winsor showed A♦9♦ for a pair of nines.
With the full board of J♦9♠4♣9♣K♣ showing, Reiji Kono bet 40,000 from the big blind. Chance Kornuth, who was the initial preflop raiser from the button, was the only other player to act. He looked at his opponent for a few moments before pushing out his stack of green 25,000-denomination chips, more than enough to put Kono all in.
Kono did not take long before folding his cards and watching Kornuth add chips to his growing stack.
Ren Lin eagerly got the attention of PokerNews to recount a hand in which one of his own bluffs backfired.
Juan Maceiras Lapido raised under the gun to 5,000, Ren Lin three-bet from the cutoff to 15,000 and Lapido called.
On a flop of 4♦6♦10♠, Lapido check-raised a bet of 13,000 from Lin to 36,000. Lin called.
The turned A♣ checked through to the 10♥ on the river. Lapido bet out for 60,000, then Lin raised to 120,000. Lapido made the call.
Ren Lin: 9♣8♣
Juan Maceiras Lapido: K♦Q♦
Lapido called down the river raise with just king-high and was correct in doing so. After recounting the hand to PokerNews, Lin was so impressed at the call he asked another player at the table to take a photo of both himself and Lapido together.
