Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

On a three-way turn of J♣3♣10♠, there was already over 55,000 in the middle when Chad Melerine ripped his stack into the middle, followed by a shove from Danylo Turov for more. The action was then on Zhong Wilkerson, who was deep in the tank debating her options.

After a good thirty seconds, she set out her stack to make the call and the cards were on their backs.

Chad Melerine: Q♦J♦
Zhong Wilkerson: K♣Q♥
Danylo Turov: 3♥3♠

Turov had the best of it with his set of threes, he just needed to fade an ace or a none that would give Zhong the nut straight. Fortunately for him, the river was the brick 2♣ and he was awarded the massive pot while his two opponents made their way to the exit.

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

After an open, Johnatan Rodriguez made it 3,100 to go from the small blind and was called by Kevin Kendrick and Daniel Doucet.

The flop came out 2♦5♣6♦ and action checked to Doucet who bet 8,500 and was called only by Rodriguez to see the turn 3♠.

Both players then decided to slow down and check to go straight to the river 6♠. Rodriguez checked once more and Doucet used this as a prime opportunity to move all in, which resulted in a hasty fold from Rodriguez.

Daniel Doucet	71,000
