Brett Slezak

Artsiom Lasouski raised from the small blind and Wouter Beltz defended his big blind.

On the J♠9♠5♥ flop, Lasouski continued for 2,100, Beltz raised to 7,000, and Lasouski called.

The turn brought the 10♠. Lasouski checked to Beltz who bet 6,000. Lasouski opted to check-raise to 14,000 and Beltz called.

The 9♣ fell on the river. With 46,000 in the middle, Lasouski checked to Beltz who jammed for 21,000 effective as the covering stack. Lasouski used two time banks before he finally called.

Artsiom Lasouski: 10♥7♥ All in
Wouter Beltz: 5♦5♣

Beltz made a full house on the river and got max value as Lasouski hero-called incorrectly as he hit the rail.

Level 4 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante

Heads-up on a flop of J♥6♣4♥, Peter Turmezey bet 5,000 from the small blind and Poseidon Ho raised to 15,000 in the cutoff. Turmezey burned through multiple time banks until moving all in for 25,000 and Ho quickly called. "You have a flush draw, right?" Turmezey asked as they revealed their cards.

Peter Turmezey: A♠K♠ All in
Poseidon Ho: 10♥8♥

Turmezey's read proved correct as he was ahead with ace-high. The board ran out K♦A♣ and Turmezey made top two pair to double up.

"Wow, you guys are good," tablemate Erik Friberg said.

A hand earlier at this table, Michael Dwyer had moved all in on a board of 7♠8♥5♥6♥J♠ and Victor Pertile called for his last 35,000. Dwyer showed 9♦9♥ for a straight and Pertile tossed two kings into the muck on his way to the rail.

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Joshua Hopkins raised to 1,200 under the gun before Sam Greenwood three-bet to 3,800 in the seat next to him. Hopkins increased the price to 8,100, which Greenwood called.

Greenwood went on to call Hopkins' bets of 7,500 on the 5♣2♣10♠ flop and 11,500 on the 6♦ turn before the 7♠ river completed the board.

Hopkins then shoved in his stack of 30,000 and was immediately called by his opponent. Hopkins could only show A♦K♦ for ace-high, while Greenwood had backed into two pair with 7♣6♣.

Hopkins quickly departed from the table while Greenwood's stack increased to more than three time its starting value.

Player	Chips	Progress
Sam Greenwood	161,000 113,900	113,900

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Nacho Barbero opened the hijack to 1,200 and then called after Marius Kudzmanas three-bet to 4,500 from the button.

On the J♦8♠2♥ flop, Kudzmanas continued for 3,000 and Barbero called.

The 3♦ came on the turn. Barbero check-called another bet from Kudzmanas, this time for 8,500.

On the K♠ river, Barbero checked to Kudzmanas who contemplated for 30 seconds before he jammed for 27,000 effective as the covering stack and Barbero snapped it off.

Nacho Barbero: 3♠3♣ All in
Marius Kudzmanas: J♠J♣

It was a cooler scenario with Kudzmanas flopping top set against the turned set of threes for Barbero, who was sent to the rebuy desk while Kudzmanas dragged a huge pot.
