Level 8
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Darren Elias had just won a showdown pot in three-way action with 6♣6♠ on the 9♣5♥4♠9♦2♠ board.
He then three-bet and called the all-in of Andrea Salamone to create the following coin flip.
Andrea Salamone: J♦J♥ 
Darren Elias: A♣Q♣
The 6♠5♦4♠8♥3♣ runout kept the pocket pair ahead all the way and Salamone doubled for the starting stack of 40,000.

Table short stack David Olshan was all-in and at risk preflop against Cleveland Richards.
David Olshan: J♠10♦
Cleveland Richards: A♦Q♣
The Q♥9♣6♠ flop gave Richards the top pair while Olshan had outs to a straight.
No help came with the 7♠ turn and 4♣ river to spell the end for Olshan.

On the heads-up turn of 3♦3♥2♥5♦, Colin Moll checked before he called a bet worth 6,000 by Brandon Mueller.
Both checked the 7♦ on the river and Moll showed his 7♥2♣ for sevens and treys.
He was sure Mueller had an overpair and that was the case with the 10♣10♥.
Level 7
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Four ways to the Q♣5♠4♠ flop, Benedetto Bianco bet 5,000. Robert Ozello was the only caller, whereas Gregory Bauer and Danny Vo folded.
Bianco then checked the 5♦ turn before he called a bet worth 15,000.
Both players checked the 3♦ on the river and Bianco declared "I missed my flush" before flipping over his J♠8♠.
Ozello won the pot with the A♣10♠ and Bianco sighed.

Jean Augustin was among the short stacks coming back from the dinner break but has since chipped up.
In the latest hand, the board showed A♣10♦5♠4♥2♣ and Colin Moll bet 11,500. Augustin raised big without moving all-in and Moll instantly folded.
Level 7
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
David Stevens raised to 2,500 and then called a three-bet to 6,500 by John Botticello in the cutoff. The J♣5♠3♠ flop was checked by Stevens and he folded when Botticello bet 4,000.
Aaron Eis jumped back in, while Matthew Zambanini ran out of chips once more.
Level 7
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Craig Robertson checked the A♦J♠6♦5♠ turn and then called a bet worth 24,000 by local businessman Vittorio Abbate.
That led them to the 3♣ river on which Robertson checked with around 34,600 behind. Abbate moved all-in with the covering stack and received a very reluctant call.
Abbate tabled his 6♣6♥ for a set and Robertson sent his cards with force into the muck.
"Ace queen?" Brandon Mueller asked and Collin Moll shrugged, only said "ace king?" albeit with a notable question mark.
