Action folded to the small blind LaShun Wallace who raised to 13,000, and the big blind Preston McEwen called to see a flop.
Both players checked after the 5?10?7? flop, to see the 10? on the turn. Wallace then moved all in for McEwen's stack of 35,000, and after a quick thought, McEwen found the call to put himself at risk.
Preston McEwen: 7?6?
LaShun Wallace: K?5?
McEwen had the best of it with the better two pair, and once the river brought the J? his two pair, tens and sevens were still best, giving him the double up.

But when the board ran out [ Jc] on the turn, and 2? on the river, Fox's pocket fours remained best, to give her the pot and eliminate her opponent.

A player raised from under the gun to 4,000, and was called by Michael Sanders in middle position. Then a player in the hijack moved all in for her remaining stack of 5,000, before Roger Foley three-bet to 31,000 on the button. The blinds and the under the gun player folded, before Sanders decided to four-bet all in, and Foley called for his stack of 56,000.
Hijack: 8?7?
Roger Foley: A?2?
Michael Sanders: A?K?
Sanders had Foley dominated in the much larger side pot, and the 4?6?6? flop and 10? turn had him in great shape to win both pots. But the 2? on the river gave Foley the best hand, eliminating the player in the hijack, and taking the main pot from Sanders.
