All-In Player: 
John Pierce: 
Pierce's flopped set was way out in front of the all-in player's overpair of kings and was able to fade the two remaining kings in the deck for his hand to remain best as the turn 
and river 
completed the runout, resulting in the pot being sent to Pierce as his opponent was sent packing.

: 100/200, 200 ante
Justin Thurlow, known among many locally as "Torpedo" opened to 600 in the hijack and was called by both players in the blinds. The flop fell 
and all three players checked.
The turn came 
and the small blind bet 600. The big blind folded and Thurlow called, bringing the river 
. The small blind bet another 1,000 and Thurlow thought for about 25 seconds before tossing up a T1,000 chip a foot or so into the air so that its trajectory went in an arc before it landed in the middle of the table for a call.
The small blind tabled 
for a rivered pair of kings to go along with his missed nut flush draw, and Thurlow showed for a pair of sevens to win him the pot.
