Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Michael Mann was caught bluffing when he essentially bet the pot bar one chip on the Q♦9♣8♠5♥5♠ river and had to reveal his A♥7♦ in the small blind, which Lucas Bernui on the button had beat holding the 9♥7♥.

Soon after, Mann three-bet to 7,000 and Po Ying jammed for 20,600 in the next seat. The initial raiser moved all-in and Mann sigh-called.

Yin's Q♦Q♠ flipped against A♠K♦ and A♥K♠ respectively and ensured a triple-up on the 6♦5♦5♣7♥9♥ runout.

A player in the small blind moved all in for 15,000 and Samuel Ick called in the cutoff.

All-In Player: A♣Q♠ All in
Samuel Ick: Q♣Q♥

"I like both you guys. Let's chop it up somehow," tablemate Nick Palma said, but Ick's queens stayed in the lead through the 6♣K♦5♥7♠8♥ board to earn him the knockout.

Joel Mitchell raised to 1,600 under the gun before Nicholas Verderamo three-bet to 4,000 in the hijack. Aubrey Williams called on the button. "One card was good. The other wasn't," Mitchell said as he folded.

Verderamo checked the K♥3♠9♥ flop, and Williams bet 2,200. Verderamo called, and they both checked the 10♣ turn.

The river was the 3♥ and Verderamo led out for 8,000. Williams called, and Verderamo showed Q♦10♦ for two pair to win the pot.

Joseph Foote squeezed to 3,500 preflop and then called a reraise to 13,000 by Changfeng Fan as they headed to the K♠6♣5♠ flop.

Fan now moved all-in and Foote instantly called.

Changfeng Fan: A♣J♣ All in
Joseph Foote: 6♦6♥

Fan needed a lot of help to stay in contention and gained some equity with the 10♠ turn.

However, the river was the blank 2♣ and Fan headed to the rail with a sigh.

With the turn showing K♣9♦3♦J♣, Sachin Ramrakhani faced a bet of 2,600 by Austen Yueh and raised it up to 6,100.

Yueh's intention was to call but she put 8,500 into the middle after the floor was called. Since it was less than half for a legit reraise, it was ruled as a call only.

The 5♦ followed on the river and Ramrakhani pushed all-in, Yueh folded.

Joining the action on the 10♠6♣3♥K♥ turn with some 13,000 in the middle, Mike Linster checked his option and then faced a bet of 7,000. Linster check-jammed for 22,800 and his opponent tank-folded.

Linster showed his cards "for PokerNews" only and mentioned he had a nice hand but doubted he was ahead according to the table chat.

In multi-way action to the K♦8♠7♦ flop, Maurice Hawkins bet 2,000 on the button. Mitchell Bosch called in the small blind and Kaifan Wang then raised to 9,000 thereafter. The player from under the gun called and his direct neighbour Changfeng Fan then moved all-in for 41,400.

It folded back to Wang who called all-in for 38,200 and the player in between reluctantly called.

Kaifan Wang: 8♦7♥ All in
Under the gun: 6♣5♣ All in
Changfeng Fan: A♥K♥

The two pair of Wang were ahead and it remained that way thanks to the 10♣ turn and 5♥ river.

"I would have won with ten five of diamonds," Hawkins mentioned in table chat.

Fan won the small side pot to stay in contention.

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Matthew Zambanini bet 3,200 from the button on a flop of A♣J♦Q♣ before an opponent in early position raised to 12,000. Zambanini called.

Both players checked the J♠ turn. The early-position player then moved all in on the 7♣ river, and Zambanini took about 30 seconds before calling for 22,600.

The early-position player showed 10♣10♥, but Zambanini had K♠K♣ to win the pot and double up. "I win a lot of these because I'm good for one of these a tournament. This was it," Zambanini said.
