Level 4 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Zheng Zhang was all in for 31,000 and Noman Mirza eventually called.

Zheng Zhang: A♦10♦ All in
Noman Mirza: 9♠9♥

Mirza was ahead, but fell behind after the A♠K♣5♥ flop gave Zhang top pair. The turn 10♠ improved Zhang to two pair and there was no miracle card on the K♥ river as Zhang secured the double. He now sits on 65,000, above the average of 61,000.

Level 4 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

With 14,000 chips in the middle, Roland Paul check-called 3,200 from Pierce Hynes on a 7♦4♥2♥ flop.

The pair both checked the 3♥ turn and the 10♥ put four hearts on the board. Paul checked and Hynes bet 15,500.

Paul thought before calling. Hynes turned over A♠4♠ for a pair of fours, with Paul's 8♣8♥ good enough to win the pot.
