Level 10
: 400/800, 100 ante
Following a raise to 1,700, Rafael Lebron flatted in middle position before two more players called; one of which was Aaron Jones. The action sat with the big blind Christopher Annouza, and he moved all in for 26,100 to force a fold from the initial raiser before Lebron called and the other two players folded.
Annouza: 
Lebron: 
The board ran out 
and Annouza was sent to the rail as Lebron soared to over 80,000 in chips.

Kelly Triples
Level 10
: 400/800, 100 ante
Two-time WSOP bracelet winner Dan Kelly got down to his last 5,500 and shipped it in. He got one caller with only about 5,500 behind and then a third player bet enough to put him in. He called and Kelly was the only one without a pair as his opponents rolled over 
and 
respectively.
Kelly needed some serious help with 
, but got it on the 
board.

New Day, New Strategy for Calamusa
Level 10
: 400/800, 100 ante
Chip leader Pierre Calamusa called his opponent’s bet on the turn and then led out for 3,800 on a river that brought some straight draws in. His opponent looked pretty sceptical but after some hesitation made the call. Calamusa showed him 
for the revered straight, received a, “Nice hand.” and the pot. “You said you were trying a new strategy.” Calamusa’s neighbour said. “Yeah, hitting straights” he replied.
On the next hand Calamusa raised to 1,700 and was called by the blinds. They checked it down to the river of a board reading 
. Calamus bet 2,500 and the big blind reached for calling chips but thought better of it and mucked his hand.
The strategy seems to be working so far.
