Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

With two players seeing a board of 3♣10♣5♥9♥ and about 11,000 already in the middle, Vasiliy Shvarev checked from the big blind and Benjamin Spragg bet 8,000 from early position. Shvarev made the call.

On the 5♣ river Shvarev changed gear by leading out with an all-in bet worth just over 30,000 chips. Spragg thought for about 20 seconds before making the call.

Shvarev could only show 6♣4♥ for a missed straight draw, turned into a bluff on the river. Spragg tabled A♣A♥ for two pair, aces and fives to take down a healthy pot.

Ricardo De la Rosa opened to 2,500 from the hijack and received calls from Garik Tamasian on the button and Mustapha Kanit in the big blind.

All three players checked the A♣K♣7♠ flop leading to the Q♠ turn. Kanit checked, De la Rosa bet 3,700, Tamasian folded and Kanit called.
