Yuval Bronshtein opened to 1,800 from middle position and was called by Mykel Robble on the button.
Bronshtein check-called a 2,000 bet from Robble on the 2♣K♣9♣ flop and then check-raised a 4,600 bet from Robble on the K♠ turn, which was enough to put Robble all in for approximately 24,000 total. Robble called and a showdown was held.
Mykel Robble: K♥9♥
Yuval Bronshtein: A♣7♣
Bronshtein had flopped the nuts, but the turn filled Robble up and left Bronshtein drawing dead.
An irrelevant 2♠ completed the board and Robble was awarded the double up.
Action folded to Gregory Goldberg in the cutoff, and he raised to 2,100. Mike Heshmati on the button then three-bet to 7,800. Once it folded back to Goldberg, he made the call.
The flop came 7♣Q♣K♦ and Goldberg check-called the bet of 6,600 from Heshmati.
Both players checked after the 3♠ on the turn and 10♠ on the river.
Goldberg tabled J♥10♥ for a rivered pair of tens, which was good enough to take the pot.
Heads-up to the K♦J♣7♥ flop, Josh Reichard bet 2,500 and was called by Jonas Lauck to see the 8♠ on the turn. Reichard bet another 9,000 for Lauck to call and then slowed down, checking the J♠ on the river. Lauck bet 24,000 and that won the pot uncontested.
Following a raise to 1,600 in the cutoff, Donald O'Kelly on the button jammed his last 6,600 into the middle. Mason Hinkle in the big blind slowly cut out a four-bet and the initial raiser folded.
Donald O'Kelly: A♦K♥
Mason Hinkle: A♦Q♣
The kicker played on the K♦6♦4♣7♠10♥ runout for O'Kelly to survive.
