Level 4
: Blinds 300/500, 500 ante
In the last hand before the break, Anton Kalinin was all-in for only 2,600 on the button. Blake Vogdes in the big blind reraised to 6,400 and Mike Dentale called.
"You just can't help yourself, eh?" Vogdes smirked before they headed to the Q♦9♦6♥ flop. Vogdes bet 5,400 and Dentale called before they checked the K♦ on the turn.
Vogdes bet the A♣ river for 8,400 and that sent Dentale into the tank. While letting his emotions run raw, he made sure to pay the massage therapist first before he called and Vogdes flung his cards into the muck.
Dentale showed the Q♠J♠ to win the larger side pot, while Kalinin more than tripled with his 6♦3♦ for a flush.
"Don't put the whining on the blog," Dentale told the live reporting team before heading into the break.

: Blinds 300/500, 500 ante
Mike Dentale raised to 1,000 on the button and Anton Kalinin called in the big blind.
"So far you're crushed," Dentale said going to the 9♦7♠9♣ flop, where he bet 1,000. Kalinin called, and the 4♣ fell on the turn.
Kalinin then led out for 1,500. "Donation," Dentale said as he called to see the 4♠ river. Kalinin then checked.
"So you have nothing. I can either check, or go all in," Dentale added, and he eventually bet 4,000. Kalinin called, and Dentale showed K♦9♥ for a full house to win the pot.
Level 4
: Blinds 300/500, 500 ante
Sharman Olshan was eliminated by Mike Dentale and one table over, Mark Nadaban was knocked out by Samuel Ick when the latter hit the ace-high flush with A♥4♥ moments later.
Michael Mann then took on Ick and check-called for 2,200 on the K♥10♣6♣ flop.
After the A♥ turn, Mann checked again and folded when Ick bumped up the amount to 9,500.
Level 4
: Blinds 300/500, 500 ante
Maurice Hawkins bet 3,000 from middle position on a flop of J♥A♣10♥ and the cutoff raised to 8,000. Hawkins called, and the J♦ fell on the turn.
The cutoff then bet 15,000, and Hawkins moved all in. His opponent had around 20,000 behind and quickly folded, and Hawkins took down another pot.
Level 4
: Blinds 300/500, 500 ante
Mitchell Bosch defended his big blind against the cutoff raise to 1,200 by Joseph Foote. Both checked the 9♣7♠7♦ flop to the A♦ turn on which Bosch bet 1,500 and Foote called.
Bosch slowed down and checked the 8♦ river, which prompted a bet of 2,000 by the table big stack. No call followed and Foote won the pot uncontested.
While the hand played out, Eun Joo walked past the table after she had just been eliminated elsewhere.
Level 4
: Blinds 300/500, 500 ante
Joel Mitchell bet 1,500 from the small blind on a flop of J♠Q♦3♥ and received one caller before Aubrey Williams raised to 5,200 in middle position. Only Mitchell called.
The turn was the 4♠ and Mitchell led out with another 8,500. Williams called, and the 6♥ fell on the river. Both players checked, and Williams showed A♥A♣.
"I missed everything. Straight draw, flush draw," Mitchell said as he mucked.
Level 4
: Blinds 300/500, 500 ante
Five ways to the K♥J♣6♦5♠ turn, Mike Dentale called for a ten while Blake Vogdes asked for a seven. Neither wish was granted as the 3♣ came on the river. It folded to Vogdes who bet 8,000. One opponent after the other folded and Vogdes flashed the 2♣ with a smirk on the face and said "nuts".
Level 4
: Blinds 300/500, 500 ante
Maurice Hawkins raised to 1,200 in the cutoff before Kat Khaterzai three-bet to 4,500 in the small blind. Hawkins called, and they saw a flop of A♣6♣3♣.
Khaterzai then bet 3,000, and Hawkins raised to 10,000. Khaterzai called, and the 7♠ fell on the turn. Hawkins then moved all in.
"You have nice nails, so you should take some time," Hawkins said while Khaterzai ran through the possibilities of what Hawkins had.
"Will you show?" she asked.
"I don't do any of that. I'm going to be smiling no matter what happens," Hawkins replied.
Khaterzai eventually folded. "You look like a nice lady," Hawkins said as he showed her 6♥6♦ while taking the pot.
