: 800/1,600, 200 ante
Joshua James limped in from under the gun and Ivan Driard raised to 3,800 from late position. Stuart Taylor called on the button and James moved all-in for 6,800. Both Driard and Taylor called.
The flop came 
and Driard checked. Taylor bet 13,000 and Driard frustratingly mucked his hand. Taylor tabled 
for two paur kings and sixes and James showed 
for ace-high. The turn was the 
and the river was the 
, sending James to the rail.
Driard was muttering something under his breath and another player piped up and said, "What? King-queen isn't bad." Driard replied, "It's garbage. I'm not flatting him with nothing."

: 600/1,200, 200 ante
With about 9,000 in the pot already, on a board reading 
, Matthew Bellsmith led out for 4,500 from the big blind. Peter Messer asked for a count and called from the button.
The river was the 
and Bellsmith fired out a bet of 7,000. Messer wasted no time and quickly called.
Bellsmith confidently tabled 
for a pair of queens with a jack kicker. Messer mucked.
It appeared as though the two players had some history because Bellsmith said "You raise too big. You try to buy it." He continued raking in the pot and Messer responded with "I had pocket nines! I didn't know we were getting coaching lessons here."
