A player in middle position opened to 300 and Alfie Adam called next to act. It folded to the small blind who made the call and Jay Booher in the big blind came along as well.
The flop came 10♥9♣8♣ and the blinds checked to the initial raiser who continued for 1,000, which only Adam called. On the Q♦ turn, the middle position player checked and Adam tossed out a bet of 1,000, which his opponent called.
The 9♥ hit the river and action was checked to Adam who tossed out a 5,000-chip. His opponent quickly called and Adam rolled over K♠J♠ for the king-high straight to score the pot when his opponent mucked their cards.
Action began after the turn of 8♥10♥9♥3♦ with the big blind player leading out for 6,000. Daniel Goossens called from the cutoff as two players headed to the river.
The river was the K♠ with the big blind having led out for 7,000. Goossens raised to 16,000 and after some contemplation, his opponent folded.
On a completed board of 2♥4♦2♣9♣4♥, Alexandre Lemian checked to his opponent and watched as he tossed a bet of 2,100 with around 3,000 already in the pot.
Lemian thought aloud for a moment before he counted out a call and tossed it in to see his opponent turn over the K♥10♦.
Lemian turned up the J♣J♠ to take down an early pot.
PokerNews was called over to a table on the river in a big pot of roughly 17,000 on a completed board showing 9♣3♣3♦A♦Q♥. A player in the big blind checked to under the gun, who checked as well. Pavel Dyachenko was in the cutoff and tossed out a bet of 10,000.
The big blind made the call and the under-the-gun player went deep in the tank. After several minutes of thought, under the gun folded and it was time for a showdown.
Dyachenko confidently tabled 3♠3♥ for flopped quads and the best hand possible to scoop the massive early pot.
