Level 9 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Jamil Wakil opened to 13,000 first-to-act with K♠10♠ and was called by Patrik Antonius in the big blind with J♣2♣ for a heads-up pot.

The 9♠10♣A♣ flop improved both players and Antonius check-called an 18,000 bet from Wakil with his flush draw.

The 8♠ fell on the turn and both players checked.

The 8♣ river gave Antonius the winning hand with a flush and he fired an overbet of 100,000 into the middle.

Wakil didn't take long to let his hand go and Antonius collected the pot.

Level 9 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Blind on blind, Tom Orpaz limped blind and Sam Grafton raised. Orpaz called without looking at his cards.

The pair checked the Q♠10♣4♣ flop and the turn was the 4♠. Orpaz bet 15,000 — again, without looking — and Grafton called.

The river was the J♥. Orpaz quickly bet 35,000. Grafton then raised enough to put Orpaz all in.

"Please look before you call!" Grafton said, with Orpaz needing to call his last 160,000.

Orpaz peeled his first and then his second card before calling. Grafton tabled A♦K♥ for an ace-high straight, with Orpaz showing 10♠4♥ for a full house.

"Wowwwww," said Grafton loudly, getting up from the table in shock. "You bet blind!"

The neighboring tables all circled around as the action was recounted.

"I looked at the ten and was calling with the ten!" said Orpaz.

"And I felt sorry for you when you called!" said Grafton, who took the beat surprisingly well.

Byron Kaverman opened to 13,000 from under the gun with 8♠8♥ and was three-bet to 40,000 by Patrik Antonius on the button with A♣Q♦. Action folded back to Kaverman, who called.

The flop came 10♦6♣6♠ and Kaverman check-called a 20,000 bet from Antonius.

The J♥ turn gave Antonius a gutshot to Broadway and he fired 55,000 into the middle after Kaverman checked a second time.

Kaverman tossed his hand into the muck and Antonius was sent the pot.

Vladimir Korzinin bet 15,000 on the A♥J♠3♦ flop and Steve O'Dwyer raised to 41,000.

Korzinin used a time bank before re-raising all in, and O'Dwyer quickly called for his last 202,000.

O'Dwyer turned over A♦J♦ for two pair.

"What do you think I have?" asked Korzinin before showing A♠Q♥.

The turn 9♠ and river 4♣ bricked and O'Dwyer doubled up.

Ollie Garland

Level 9 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

The pot stood at approximately 170,000 with two players looking at a full board of 3♥7♣2♥Q♦5♠.

Sam Grafton, in the big blind, checked the action to Seth Davies, in early position. Davies spent a considerable amount of time in the tank before moving all in for Grafton's effective stack of 298,000. Grafton snap-called.

Sam Grafton: Q♠3♠ All in
Seth Davies: Q♥J♣

Davies' top pair was behind the two pair of Grafton, doubling him up.
