David Berman raised to 700 in the hijack, Anthony Farelli three-bet to 2,200 in the big blind, and Berman called.
The flop came 8♣10♣9♠ and Farelli bet 1,600. Berman called to the 6♥ turn, where Farelli bet another 3,500. Berman again called.
The river was the 10♥ and Farelli bet 7,500. Berman snap-called and turned over A♣7♣ for a straight, and Farelli mucked A♥K♣.
At the same time on the next table over, Erik Friberg had opened to 600 under the gun and Douglas Timmer three-bet to 1,600 in the hijack. Yevgeniy Minakrin called on the button, as did Friberg.
The flop came 5♥6♣2♣ and Timmer bet 1,600. Both opponents called to see the 8♠ turn, where Friberg led out for 5,500. Only Timmer called.
Friberg bet another 13,000 on the 4♣ river, and Timmer quickly surrendered the pot to the 2006 Main Event finalist.
