Timothy Su
Timothy Su

The player in the hijack raised to 5,000 and Timothy Su ripped all-in next to act for 64,000 and the action folded back around to the player in the hijack who quickly called.

Timothy Su: {8-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}
Hijack: {q-Spades}{q-Diamonds}

Su was in rough shape running into a bigger pair and the flop was no help when it came {10-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{4-Clubs}. The turn was exactly what Su was looking for though when the {8-Hearts} fell and the board completed with the {4-Hearts} on the river for Su to make a full house.

Marko Grujic

On a board of {9-Spades}{8-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{5-Hearts}, Taran Gulati had all of his chips in the middle against Marko Grujic. Gulati tabled {q-Clubs}{9-Clubs} for trip nines queen-kicker but unfortunately, that wasn't good enough as Grujic tabled {9-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} for a rivered straight.

Vanessa Kade
Vanessa Kade

Three players saw a flop of {a-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{5-Clubs} and Vanessa Kade checked before the player in the middle fired out a bet of 6,500. The button made the call and Kade re-raised to a little over 30,000 before the original bettor announced all-in. The player on the button got out of the way and Kade made the call.

Middle Player: {a-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}
Vanessa Kade: {a-Spades}{5-Spades}

Kade had flopped two pair and the board ran out good for her when it completed with the {9-Clubs} on the turn and the {j-Hearts} on the river. Kade had her opponent covered who had roughly 80,000 in chips.

Ashley Sleeth
Ashley Sleeth

On a flop of {a-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{3-Hearts} with 8,500 in the middle Ashley Sleeth check-called a bet of 2,000. The turn was the {2-Spades} and Sleeth checked once again to her opponent who fired out a bet of 8,000. After giving it about five seconds she shoved all of her chips in for a total of 22,500. Her opponent called and both hands were tabled.

Ashley Sleeth: {7-Diamonds}{4-Spades}
Opponent: {a-Hearts}{10-Hearts}

Sleeth had turned a straight but wasn't a lock to win the hand just yet as she needed to fade a heart for the opponent's flush. She did just that as the {3-Clubs} paired the board and secured her double up.

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

On the river with the board reading {k-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{5-Spades}, the player first to act had moved all-in for about 21,200 into the pot of roughly 18,000. Gilles Lamy took about two minutes before deciding on the call.

The all-in player tapped the table to say "nice hand," as he showed the {10-Hearts}{6-Clubs} and Lamy took the pot when he tabled {k-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} for a pair of kings.

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Tarun Gulati raised in the hijack and the player directly on his left three-bet. The action folded back around to Gulati who four-bet shoved for his entire stack of 37,200 and the opponent called.

Tarun Gulati: {a-Hearts}{4-Hearts}
Opponent: {q-Spades}{q-Clubs}

Gulati was dominated and both players connected when the flop came {q-Hearts}{7-Spades}{3-Hearts}, giving Gulati a flush draw and his opponent flopped top set. The turn completed Gulati's flush when the {10-Hearts} came, and he managed to fade the full house when the {a-Diamonds} hit the river.
