Eugene Tito: Q♣J♥

"Yes, picture cards!" Tito exclaimed when he saw Ionescu's hand.

The rest of the board was completed with the 4♠ on the turn and the A♦ on the river to keep Tito ahead and claim Ionescu's bounty. Ionescu kept sitting at the table for a while and then reluctantly made his way to the payout desk.

Christopher Battenfield: K♠10♠

A huge flop for Mirrasouli and he did improve on the 8♠ turn, but still trailed the top pair of Battenfield.
