Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Edoardo Mancinelli bet 2,000 from the cutoff on a board of A♦4♦4♥K♠ and James Hawkins called on the button.

The river came the 4♣ and Mancinelli led out for another 6,000. Hawkins flung his arms in the air in frustration and let out a laugh before tossing in the chips to call.

Mancinelli turned over A♣10♦ for a full house and Hawkins flashed K♦2♦ before mucking.

The next hand, Hawkins three-bet to 3,500 and an opponent in early position called.

The flop came 5♣3♣4♠ and Hawkins continued for 5,000. His opponent called, then called another bet of 5,000 on the 5♦ turn.

Hawkins moved all in for around 23,000 on the 9♦ river and sent his opponent deep into the tank. He eventually folded after nearly two minutes as Hawkins took the pot.

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

A player on the button raised to 1,000 and was called by both blinds, including Sergio Rodriguez in the small blind.

All three players checked the 5♣10♣8♦ flop before Rodriguez led out for 1,800 on the 2♥ turn.

Both opponents called to the 7♥ river, where Rodriguez paused for a moment before betting 5,500. That was enough to win the pot as Rodriguez flashed J♥9♥ for the rivered straight as he dragged in the chips.
