"FiremanScott" opened to 2,875 from the hijack and received calls from Martin "BathroomLine" Zamani in the cutoff, Joseph "Kolebear" Hebert on the button Scott "Rumcake" Ball in the small blind and Yueqi "anoob" Zhu in the big blind.
All five players checked the K?7?5? flop leading to the 2? on the turn. Action checked around to Hebert in position who fired a half-pot sized bet of 7,187. Ball called from the small blind and the other three players all got out of the way.
Both players checked the 3? river. Ball tabled K?K?Q?4? for top set but it was no good against Hebert's J?9?9?5? for a jack-high flush made on the turn.

Jack "mansnotbot" Sinclair limped in from the small blind and Daniel "DNegs" Negreanu raised it to 2,100. Sinclair made the call.
The flop came 9?5?4?. Sinclair checked and Negreanu fired a pot-sized bet of 4,200. Sinclair check-raised all in for 11,161 total and Negreanu made the call, putting Sinclair at risk.

Daniel "DNegs" Negreanu: K?Q?7?4?

The J? turn did give Negreanu a gutshot straight draw, which failed to get there on the Q? river, allowing Sinclair to rake in a decent pot. Negreanu was left short-stacked and Sinclair would take the rest of his chips shortly after. Negreanu opted to rebuy.
