William Willis limped in from under the gun and the cutoff raised to 2,500 to start a calling train that included Chris Battaglia on the button, the small blind and Willis.

"I'll show this one," Battaglia said before flashing 44 for a set of fours. "The next one is Pay Per View."

"You're Smarter Than You Look"

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante
Jacob Corral
Jacob Corral

A middle position player opened to 1,500 and Teerakun Karnchanakphan and Jacob Corral called out of the blinds.

The flop of 629 checked through and the same action took place on the 9 turn. Corral then bet 3,200 on the 5 river and the middle position player raised to 11,000. Karnchanakphan folded and Corral three-bet jammed his remaining stack. The opponent faked an all in and then folded in defeat.

"Wouldn'ta been a wise move," said Corral. "You're smarter than you look. I hit a gutter on the river."

"I'm done," the opponent replied in friendly banter. "I'm going to do what every old guy does; 15x."
