With the blinds still at 3K-6K, David Prociak raised from the button to 12,000, and Timothy Banks called from the small blind.

The flop came Ah4h2c, Banks checked, Prociak bet 10,000, and Banks called. The turn card was the 6c, Banks bet 30,000, and Prociak called.

The river card was the Kh, Banks checked, Prociak bet 35,000, and Banks folded. Prociak took the pot.

A few minutes later, with the board showing 10h5s3hQs on the turn and 48K in the pot, David Prociak bet 25,000 from the small blind. Timothy Banks called from the big blind, leaving himself just 40K behind, and Melisa Singh tanked for a while before she folded.

The river card was the Jd, and both players checked.

David Prociak:  Ah5c3s3d
Timothy Banks:  7c6s4dXx

Prociak won the pot with a set of threes, and Banks dropped to just 40K in chips.

Timothy Banks bounced back a bit before raising from the button to 21,000, and Melisa Singh called from the small blind.

Melisa Singh:  KsQd10h7s
Timothy Banks:  Jd10s9h8h

The turn card was the 3h, the river was the 4h, and Banks won the pot with his full house to double up in chips.

With the board showing Js3s2sAd on the turn and 90K in the pot, Timothy Banks checked the big blind, and Melisa Singh pot-bet 90,000 with about 30,000 remaining behind.

Banks went into the tank for a while, at one point saying, “I have one of my own outs.”

Banks eventually folded JcJd4d2d face up for a set of jacks with a gutshot straight draw. Singh showed two cards — Ks7s for a spade flush — as she took the pot.

“Nice fold,” said Singh. “I’m never bluffing there.”

David Prociak:  9c6d3d3h  (set of threes, six-high flush draw)
Timothy Banks:  10d10c6h4d  (pair of tens, ten-high flush draw, straight draw)
