There were around 30,000 chips in the middle on a board of 6♦5♥8♣8♠ when Abdullah Akbarpoor checked-called a bet of around 13,000 from Remy Murcia.
A 3♠ landed on the river and Akbarpoor led out with a bet of 20,000. Murcia, who had around 55,000 remaining in his stack, thought it over for some time before he elected to fold, which meant Akbarpoor raked in a pot to bring him above starting stack.

With around 15,000 chips already in the middle on a flop of 9♠6♠7♦, Abdullah Akbarpoor fired 3,500 from the small blind and Arian Kashani called from the hijack.
An A♠ on the turn brought in the front door flush draw, but it didn't deter Akbarpoor as he bet out 8,000. Kashani called.
The A♣ on the river changed the dynamic of the board once again, which was enough to slow Akbarpoor down, as he checked it over to his opponent. Kashani then gathered chips and threw out a large bet of 35,000, which got a quick fold out of Akbarpoor.

With around 7,000 chips in the pot on a flop of 10♠J♦9♣, all three players in the hand checked to see the 7♥ drop on the turn. Henrik Brockmann checked again from the small blind and Robbie Schiffbauer bet 3,700. Matteo Sarais called in the hijack, and Brockmann also came along.
A 2♠ dropped on the river and again Brockmann checked, then Schiffbauer fired 5,000. Sarais quickly called, and Brockmann got out of the way.
Schiffbauer showed two pair with 9♠7♠, but Sarais had turned a straight with 8♦6♦ to take the pot.

Halil Tasyurek opened the hijack to 1,100 and Arian Kashani called from the cutoff.
Both checked the 3♠9♦A♣ flop to the J♥ turn, where Tasyurek bet big with a sizing of 3,200, which Kashani called.
A 2♠ on the river saw Tasyurek check it over to his opponent, who then bet 7,500. Tasyurek thought for a while, but did eventually toss in a call.
Kashani confidently flipped A♠5♠ for top pair, but he was out-kicked by Tasyurek, who tabled A♥7x. At first, the dealer didn't realize that it Tasyurek's pot and wanted to chop it up, but quickly fixed her mistake and sent the pot to its rightful owner.
There's nothing like being unintentionally needled by the dealer!

Henrik Brockmann made it 1,200 to from under the gun and Matteo Sarais called on the button. Grigorii Rodin then squeezed from the big blind to 6,200, which both Brockmann and Sarais called.
Despite the preflop action, action checked through on the 3♦4♥A♠ flop to see the 9♠ drop on the turn. Rodin checked and Brockmann bet 6,000. Sarais and Rodin didn't want anything more to do with the pot and swiftly folded, which meant Brockmann took down the pot.

Three players had seen a flop of 9♥8♦A♠ where both blinds checked and Halil Tasyurek fired out 1,500. The small blind folded, but Paul Newey, in the big blind, called.
A K♣ landed on the turn and after Newey checked, Tasyurek bet 2,500. Newey then put in a check-raise to 8,200, and Tasyurek took just a few seconds before he called.
The 4♠ on the river completed the board and Newey announced a bet of 22,000 before he slid the chips into the pot. Tasyurek mulled it over for a while before he announced that he was all in, which put Newey to the test for his remaining stack of just under 70,000. After around a minute, Newey elected to fold, and Tasyurek raked in the pot.
