Level 7
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Bhavin Khatri, champion of 888poker LIVE London in 2022, bet 1,500 from under the gun on a flop of Q♠10♥2♥ before John Gardner moved all in for 9,500 in the big blind. Khatri tanked for a moment before calling.
John Gardner: Q♥2♦
Bhavin Khatri: A♦10♣
Gardner had flopped two pair and was a big favorite to double up as the turn came the 5♥. The river, though, was the 10♠ and Khatri made trips.
Gardner stood up from his seat and shook hands with Khatri before making his exit. "The fish got there," Khatri said as he raked in the pot.

: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Gary Miller raised to 1,400 in the cutoff and an opponent in the big blind defended to go heads-up to the 8♥A♦J♣ flop.
Miller then continued for 1,000 and the big blind called. Both players checked the 3♠ turn.
The river was the 2♣ and the big blind checked to Miller again, and Miller tapped the felt and turned over 10♦10♥. His opponent mucked and Miller took the pot.
That pot might have been relatively small, but Miller's stack isn't on his second bullet of the day as he's currently sitting on around 110,000.

: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Stephen Barnes and Constantin Erhan were heads-up on a flop of 7♥8♦10♣ when Erhan got his last 16,000 in the middle from the hijack. Barnes had him at risk from early position.
Constantin Erhan: A♣8♥
Stephen Barnes: Q♥10♥
Barnes was ahead with top pair, but Erhan spiked the A♠ on the turn to make two pair. The river came the 8♣ and Erhan improved to a full house to double up.
Barnes got those chips back a few hands later. A player in early position bet 2,500 on a flop of 3♥J♦3♣ and Khaqaan Raja called in the small blind, as did Barnes in the big blind.
The turn came the K♥ and the early-position player bet another 5,900. Raja then moved all in for 15,100 and Barnes called, while their other opponent folded.
Raja had K♣J♥ for two pair, but Barnes showed 4♠3♦ for trip threes. The river was the 10♠ and Barnes sent Raja to the rail.

Callum Gordon raised to 1,200 in early position before the cutoff three-bet to 3,200. Action folded back to Gordon who called to see the 9♠Q♦8♠ flop.
The cutoff then bet another 2,000 and Gordon called. Both players checked the 5♣ turn.
Gordon led out for 5,500 on the 10♥ river and the cutoff called, only for Gordon to show 7♦6♦ for the nut straight to win the pot.

Three-handed on a flop of 5♦Q♠6♥, Anthony Toole bet 2,000 from early position and Alexander Crawford called on the button, as did big blind Abdullah Alshanti.
All three players checked the 6♦ turn before Toole fired out another 3,000 on the J♣ river. Crawford then raised to 15,000.
Alshanti quickly mucked, but Toole went deep into the tank for more than two minutes until he called. Crawford then showed J♦J♥ for the rivered full house and Toole mucked.

Level 6
: Blinds 200/500, 500 ante
Alexander Crawford raised to 1,600 before Abdullah Alshanti three-bet to 3,500 in the cutoff. Qing Feng Zheng then four-bet to 11,200 in the small blind.
Crawford folded, but Alshanti then moved all in, having Zheng's remaining 11,500 covered.
"You got half your stack in," Alshanti told Zheng as Zheng began tanking.
"Ace-king," Zheng asked him.
"Better," Alshanti replied.
"Aces," Zheng continued.
"Better. I hate aces," Alshanti joked. "You have three outs."
Zheng eventually folded and Alshanti showed him K♦K♣. "I thought you were going to snap. Have you ever played with a poker player that tells the truth before," Alshanti added as he took the pot.
Eliot Catterson is also at this table with a stack of around 80,000.
