Level 9
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Heads-up on a board of 8♣7♥A♣Q♣, Bhavin Khatri bet 2,000 from the hijack and Sean Kavanagh called in the small blind.
The river came the 7♦ and Khatri then bet 10,000, throwing in two yellow 5,000 chips. Kavanagh thought Khatri only bet 6,000, using one of the similar-colored 1,000 chips, and tossed in a call.
Khatri then showed A♦5♦ for two pair and Kavanagh was forced to hand over the extra chips.

Lukas Dimsa raised to 2,200 in middle position and was called by Qing Feng Zheng on the button, as well as Alistair Kilgour in the big blind.
The flop came 8♣K♦Q♠ and Dimsa continued for 3,500. Only Zheng called to see the J♠ turn, where Dimsa bet another 8,000.
"Two pair again," Dimsa asked Zheng as he began tanking. He eventually called and the J♥ fell on the river.
Dimsa paused for a moment before checking and Zheng then fired out 26,000. Dimsa took another minute before sliding his cards into the muck.

A pile of chips amounting to more than 50,000 was already in the middle as Bhavin Khatri and an opponent went to the river on a completed board of 9♥3♠2♠7♦4♥.
Khatri then moved all in from early position, sending his opponent deep into the tank. He eventually called for his last 60,000.
"You win," Khatri said, showing A♠4♦ for a pair of fours on the river. His opponent let out a deep groan and shot up from his seat as he showed A♥3♥ for a pair of threes.
"The only hand I'm worried about," the defeated opponent said before heading off to the rail.
"I meant to check on that river but I'm trying to get 9x to fold," Khatri explained to his tablemates.
"Value bluff. Best bluff ever," Elliott Panyi said.
"That's why you always show your cards at the end," Khatri added as he moved into contention for the tournament chip lead.

On the first hand back from break, Dan Maunders raised to 2,500 in the cutoff before Jack Sambrook shoved all in for 18,000 in the big blind. Maunders took his time before calling.
Jack Sambrook: Q♦9♣
Dan Maunders: 6♦6♥
Sambrook took the lead on the 10♠A♥Q♠ flop with a pair of queens, and Maunders couldn't find any help on the K♠ turn or 5♠ river as Sambrook doubled up.

Action folded to Constantin Erhan in the small blind who raised enough to put Anthony Toole all in from the big blind. Toole grabbed his stack using both hands and pushed it into the middle, calling for his last 17,100.
Anthony Toole: 8♦8♠
Constantin Erhan: Q♥10♣
"That's the best reaction ever," tablemate Abdullah Alshanti joked as Toole needed to win the flip to stay alive. The board ran out 5♦2♠4♥5♠2♦ and Toole's two eights stayed in front as he earned a double up.
