Stephane Edme opened to 2,100 from the button and Chanwoo Lee defended from the big blind.
Both players checked the 2?2?10? flop leading to the 7? turn. Lee checked and Edme bet 2,500. Lee put in a check-raise to 10,000 and after taking about 30 seconds to consider his options Edme opted to fold.
Lee showed the Q?6? in his hand for a pure bluff before scooping the pot.
Mike Leah opened to 1,600 from middle position and was called by Leo Gulliver in the small blind.
The flop came K?J?6? and Gulliver check-called a 2,000 continuation bet from Leah.
Gulliver check-called another bet from Leah on the 2? turn, this time for 5,500.
On the 5? river Gulliver checked once more and Leah bet 13,500. Gulliver made the call and tabled J?5? for two pair but Leah had K?J? for a better two pair to take down a healthy pot.
