Recep Aydemir arrived a few minutes after the start. When he sat down, he folded his big blinds, then three-bet in the small blind to 1,600 after Aleksandr Shevliakov opened from the button.
On the flop A♣J♥10♣, both players decided to check, and they tapped the table again on the turn 3♣. But on the river 7♣, Aydemir decided to bet 2,000. Shevliakov didn't seem very happy, and folded.

In a blind versus blind battle, the flop read 9♣7♥6♠ and Nikita Kalinin dropped a bet of 400 across the line. Denise Pratt made the call.
The A♣ hit the turn and both players quickly tapped the table.
However, when the 8♥ landed on the river, sparks flew as Kalinin fired abet of 500 and Pratt raised to 1,600. Kalinin three-bet to 2,700 and Pratt put in another raise to 27,600. Kalinin moved all-in and Pratt snap-called. Kalinin showed J♦10♠ while Pratt tabled J♥10♦, both rivering the nut-straight.
