Level 10 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Jack Nolan raised to 2,500 from middle position and the action folded to Oleksii Natoptanyi in the big blind, who made the defending call. The flop fell 4♥2♠8♦ and Nolan continued for 3,000 after a check from Natoptanyi.

Natoptanyi made the call and did so too when Nolan bet 4,000 more on the Q♥ turn. The 7♣ river then completed the board and Natoptanyi checked for a third time.

Nolan decided to put it all in, risking his stack of 16,600. Natoptanyi sat in the tank for a while before emerging with a call. Nolan showed J♥J♣ for a pair of jacks and Natoptanyi tried to muck his hand.

The dealer retrieved his K♣8♥ for a pair of eights, however, and the pot was sent Nolan's way, who acquired a full double up.

Adem Marjanovic raised from under the gun before Ali Zebarjad made it 9,000 to go from the small blind. Marjanovic made the call and the two went off to a 8♠2♥9♠ flop, which Zebarjad checked.

Both players then checked the 10♠ river and Zebarjad showed A♥K♠ for a rivered flush. Marjanovic nodded in acknowledgement before mucking his cards and relinquishing the pot.

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

On a flop of Q♦2♣10♣, Sasa Perok made a bet of 7,000, Jorge Garcia check-raised to 16,500 and Perok swiftly moved all in for approximately 43,000. Garcia quickly called with Perok at risk.

Sasa Perok: 10♦10♠
Jorge Garcia: A♦Q♠

Perok was well ahead with a set of tens against Garcia's top pair, but the Q♥ turn gave Garcia hope. A miracle A♣ river provided Garcia with a higher full house and sent Perok to the rail.
