There are five players that have called 3,000 to see the Q♦J♦6♦ flop. The blinds both check, Matthew Rolland moves all in for his remaining 2,700, the player next to act moves all in over the top for 8,700, and Kevin Kernan calls in the hijack.  Both blinds fold, and the players turn over their hands:

Rolland: Q♣J♣  (two pair)
Middle Position: 10♣9♥ (straight draw)
Kevin Kernan: K♣Q♠ (top pair)

The A♠ turn does not impact the hand, and the 6♥ river is safe for Rolland to triple up.  The player in middle position is eliminated from play, and Kernan is awarded the side pot.

Matthew Rolland - 26,000
Kevin Keranan - 37,000

Paul Freedman - Shown here in August 2017 after winning his first
World Series of Poker Circuit ring in the $365 Monster Stack event.

There's around 1,500 in the middle, and fourplayers to see the A♦8♠3♦ flop.

The small and big blind both check, a player in middle position bets 1,200, and Paul Freedman calls on the button.  Both blinds fold.

The turn is the 10♠. The player in middle position bets 3,300, and Freeman calls again.

The river is the J♥. This time the first player checks, and it's Freedman who places a bet of 5,300. His opponent calls, and Freedman says, "Two pair," as he turns over J♦8♦.

Freedman's opponent stares at the board for about fifteen seconds, and then opts to muck his hand without showing.

Freedman is no stranger to tournament success, especially here at Foxwoods.  With over $180,000 in live tournament earnings to his name, Freedman took down the World Series of Poker Circuit Monster Stack event here at Foxwoods back in August of 2017, earning himself $31,605, and his first Circuit ring.

Paul Freedman - 50,000
