Anthony Apicella opened to 2,100 from early position, and all of his opponents seemed to be surprised by this bet. They all folded and Apicella flipped over Q♠Q♣. "If I have a good hand I bet better", he laughed.
On the next hand, he opened to 2,100 again from under the gun. "Same missclick?" one of his opponents asked. "Aces?," tried to guess other player. They all folded again, but this time, Apicella didn't reveal his hand.
Lukas Vozdecky opened to 1,100 from under the gun. He was called by the player to his left, but a third player in middle position squeezed to 4,200. Both Vozdecky and his neighbor called.

`The middle position player folded as well so Vozdecky scooped the pot, revealing 10♣10♠.

Maxwell Young opened to 600 from the cutoff, and Alban Beysson defended from the big blind.
On a board of J♣3♥J♦, Young bet 200. It didn't take long for Beysson to call.
Both players checked the 6♠ turn to find the 7♥ river where Beysson led out for 1,300. Young called with K♦8♦ but Beysson had the exact same hand, K♠8♥, so they split the pot.
