David Salituro

Level 11 : Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Joe Dixon and Bryan Taylor were both sitting on stacks of more than 100,000 before tangling in their latest pot.

Taylor bet 3,000 from under the gun on a flop of 7♦9♦9♣ and Dixon called in the big blind. The turn was the 7♥ and Taylor bet another 6,000. Dixon again called.

Both players checked down the 6♦ river and Dixon showed 7♣3♣ for a full house to win the pot.

Dale Wilson: Q♦J♥

Both players ended up with a pair of queens on the 3♠5♥A♥Q♣9♠ board, but Wilson's jack-kicker played to send Navarro to the rail.

Level 11 : Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Heads-up on a flop of A♠10♠J♠, Thomas Gardiner moved all in for 19,500 from the big blind and Dale Wilson put him at risk on the button.

Thomas Gardiner: A♦5♣ All in
Dale Wilson: A♥K♥

Both players showed top pair, but Wilson was ahead and poised for a knockout with his king-kicker. The 6♣ turn left Gardiner a card away from elimination, but he spiked the 5♥ on the river to make two pair and double up.

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Iason Filippidis raised to 4,000 in the cutoff, Daniel Gormley three-bet to 10,000 on the button, and Filippidis called.

The flop came Q♥3♠5♣ and Gormley bet 7,500. Filippidis called and they both checked the 8♠ turn.

The 10♣ fell on the river and Filippidis led out for 27,000. Gormley quickly tossed his cards away.

"Show the bluff," tablemate Bryan Taylor said to Filippidis.

"Show the bluff? Good for the game," Filippidis replied, turning over the A♥ as he took the pot.

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

John Clements had just reentered when he got his stack in the middle again from early position, this time against Liam Johnston who barely had Clements' 30,000 covered in the big blind.

John Clements: 8♣8♠ All in
Liam Johnston: 10♦10♥

Johnston had Clements dominated and Clements found no help on the 3♥A♦K♣9♠Q♦ board to hit the rail for the second time in a few minutes.

"C'est la vie," he said on his way to the exit.
