Action picked up on the turn in a hand between Khari Hutchings in early position and the player in the small blind.
With about 6,000 in the pot and the board reading 9♣7♦K♦6♠, the small blind check-called a pot-sized bet of 6,000 from Hutchings.
On the 9♥ river, the small blind checked again and Hutchings sized down with a bet of 3,200. After a brief moment, the small blind tossed his cards into the muck.
On a board of Q♦6♦Q♥7♠, Eric Grim, who was under the gun, led out with a bet of 2,500. The player in late position called and the river brought the 2♥.
Grim led out again, this time for 3,000. Late position opted for a raise to 7,400 and Grim quickly made the call.
Late position tabled Q♠J♠ for three of a kind, queens, but Grim had him out kicked with Q♣K♣, to take down the pot.
