Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Rehman Kassam raised to 1,600 in middle position before Alec Torelli moved all in for 11,600 on the button. Duco ten Haven reshoved in the big blind and Kassam got out of the way.

Alec Torelli: A♥K♦ All in
Duco ten Haven: A♦J♠

Torelli had Ten Haven dominated as the Q♥3♦10♠ flop gave Ten Haven outs to a straight. The 5♦ turn was safe for Torelli, while he secured the double up once the 5♠ fell on the river.

"I only beat you when we're all in, otherwise you crush me," Torelli told Ten Haven after the hand.

"I was giving you a spin. I would've made threes full," Kassam added.

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.

Ryan Lashmar

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

With two players seeing a board of J♠8♥9♥ and 4,000 in the middle, Ren Lin bet 1,000 from middle position. "Induce," Lin commented, after firing the small bet. Joakim Andersson, seated in the cutoff, made the call.

Lin mentioned that the 9♠ turn was a good card for him before continuing for 3,500. "Good fold," Lin preemptively told Andersson before Andersson made the call.

On the K♦ river Lin bet 10,000. "Please no snap-call," Lin asked of his opponent. Andersson obliged, using one time extension while contemplating his options. Lin again told him preemptively that it would be a good fold before Andersson flicked in the call.

Lin showed down trip nines with Q♦9♦ and took down a healthy pot.

Frank Visser

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

The action was picked up on a board of 7♥5♦10♠10♥, with around 5,000 in the middle. Ludvig Sterner had checked under the gun, after which John Duthie placed a bet.

Sterner then raised to 10,000, which Duthie reraised to 20,000. Sterner put in a four-bet to 35,000, which Duthie quickly called.

The 6♣ then fell on the river. Sterner shoved all in, covering the 36,000 chips Duthie had remaining. Duthie mulled it over for a bit but decided to fold.

Sterner offered to show Duthie one card, but the EPT founder politely declined and shoved Sterner's cards to the muck instead.
