Level 5
: 200/400, 50 ante
The final board showed 
when Joe Domyslawski saw his lone opponent bet 2,000.
Domyslawski held just 
for ace-ten high, but he decided to try and push the other player off the pot with a raise to 6,500.
The other player was not impressed by the move though, and he made the call rather quickly while tabling 
for yet another ace-high, no pair holding. Despite the opponent's protestations to the contrary, Domyslawski's ten kicker played and he was awarded the sizable pot.

With the board reading 
by the turn James Kaplan's last 16,000 or so were committed with an all-in wager.
His opponent peered over from across the table and studied for a moment, before casually announcing "I'll call ya."
Kaplan quickly rolled over his 
and waited to see which draws he would be fading.
"Oh... nice hand sir," said his opponent. "I'm dead."
Every poker players fears the dreaded early congratulation, and Kaplan rightfully asked to see the other man's cards to confirm that he had no outs to speak of.
Sure enough, his opponent tabled the 
for no pair and no draw, apparently reading Kaplan for a straight or flush draw with no pair. After the meaningless 
dropped in on the river, the sizable pot was pushed to Kaplan, while the man tried to play the hero was left with just a 1,000 or so to work with.

Faced with a bet of 6,100 on a flop of 
, Brent Bennett moved all in for effectively 22,000 or so. His opponent looked to the sky as he tanked, and without diverting his eyes from the ceiling he announced a call.
Bennett revealed 
for an open-ended straight draw and a flush draw, and his opponent tabled 
for top pair.
The on the turn changed nothing, but the 
on the river gave Bennett a queen-high straight.
"What the f***!" the all-in player bemoaned before confirming that he would be reentering.
Bennett pulled in the pot, and now has around 70,000 chips.

We saw a scary board of 
standing between Andy Gallen and his opponent, and a pot chock full of purple T500 chips already up for grabs.
Gallen was faced with a 1,500 bet and he studied his man from across the table, searching for any sign of a tell. Suddenly, having apparently detected the clue he needed, Gallen casually flipped three of those aforementioned purple chips into the middle.
His opponent instantly tapped the table in acknowledgment, mucking his cards face down. Gallen smiled slightly in response, satisfied that his read on the situation had been spot on, before tabling the 
to claim his just reward for the hero call.
