Sia Plays it Safe
Level 7
: 400/800, 100 ante
Heads-up on an 
flop, Eric Sia check-called a 2,500-chip bet with a few thousand in the middle already.
He also checked the 
turn and after his opponent did the same, the 
river was revealed. Sia checked again and his opponent followed suit.
With a disappointed look on his face, Sia showed 
to take in the relatively small pot and move above the 100,000-chip mark.

Zak Attacks Again
Level 6
: 300/600, 75 ante
Elan Zak had lost most of what he'd earned in that set-over-set-over-set debacle earlier when he found himself heads up on an 
flop with a decent sized pot already brewing.
He checked and his opponent bet 2,000. Zak called and checked again on the 
turn, but when his opponent bet out 4,300, he shipped it in for 30,150 total.
His opponent went deep into the tank and the floor was called by a third player not in the hand asking for a clock. Based on the fact a reasonable amount of time had not been taken, the floor refused and a discussion about when to call the clock or not ensued.
Eventually, Zak's opponent made the call with and wasn't surprised to see Zak had flopped a set with 
. It held on the river and Zak is back.

Czarniecki Cut Down
Level 6
: 300/600, 75 ante
Kamil Czarniecki just took a bad beat to slim down his stack. He got in a preflop raising war from the small blind with the player on the button.
Eventually they went heads up to a 
flop where Czarniecki open shoved. His opponent called it off with 
and needed a heart to survive against Czarniecki's . The 
turn did the trick, cutting Czarniecki down to size.

Team Pro Goes Down
Level 6
: 300/600, 75 ante
The only Team PokerStars Pro in the field today is no longer here.
Vivian Im took a relatively bad beat calling all in with pocket kings on the river of a hand where two diamonds had come on the flop, but none since. Her opponent was on a flush draw and had missed, but back-doored his way into a straight.
