Level 7
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Christopher Puetz raised it up in early position and the cutoff ripped all in for his last 18,400. The action folded back to Putz who wasted little time before making the call.
Cutoff: J♠J♣
Christopher Puetz: K♣K♦
"It was meant to be," the cutoff said before the 10♦8♦7♦ flop was dealt.
"This could be dangerous," Puetz chimed in despite picking up the lone flush draw. The 2♠ on the turn was a brick and the 6♦ on the river improved Putz to a flush as he eliminated his opponent.

Christopher Puetz raised to 1,800 from the cutoff and Magnus Carlsen made it 4,500 from the button before Marc Fischer shoved 19,600. Puetz got out of the way and Carlsen leaned forward to think about it.
After a quick rhetorical question and a few moments of thought, Carlsen tossed his hand in the muck to wait for a better spot.

Sergi Martinez and Saar Wilf were heads-up in a pot with just over 12,000 in the middle. The board read Q♥8♣7♣4♠ and Martinez checked from the big blind. Wilf tossed in a bet of 8,000 on the button and Martinez called.
The 7♥ paired the board on the river and Martinez still checked. Wilf splashed in a bet of 30,000, enough to cover the stack of Martinez sitting around 17,000. Martinez gave it some thought and opted to make the call. Wilf turned over 6♣5♣ for a straight while Martinez was left with A♠Q♠.
