Heads-up on a flop of 7♣5♦3♦, Harvey Jackson bet 20,000 from the cutoff and Kayhan Mokri called in the big blind.
Both players checked the 6♦ turn. Mokri then led out for 25,000 on the Q♦ river and Jackson raised to 75,000. Mokri quickly folded.
Erik Seidel raised to 13,000 in the cutoff and Jules Dickerson called on the button. Joakim Andersson then moved all in for 71,000 in the big blind. Seidel quickly folded, while Dickerson used a time bank before committing the chips to put Andersson at risk.
Joakim Andersson: A♠9♥ 
Jules Dickerson: A♣6♣
Andersson had Dickerson dominated and his nine-kicker continued to play on the 8♠2♣3♥4♦2♥ board, earning him a double.
Action was picked up on the flop of 4♣8♠9♥. Nick Petrangelo in the cutoff was facing a raise to 38,000 from Harvey Jackson in the big blind. Petrangelo made the call.
On the J♠ turn, Jackson moved all in and Petrangelo made a quick call but was at risk.
Nick Petrangelo: J♥10♠
Harvey Jackson: 4♦4♥
Petrangelo was in bad shape against Jackson's set but did have outs to improve. The J♠ landed on the river to upgrade both players' hands, but it was Jackson's full house that was best against Petrangelo's trips.
Mike Watson moved all in for 32,000 from late position and Elton Ostreni called in the small blind. Santhosh Suvarna then reraised to 80,000 from the big blind and Ostreni moved all in. Suvarna called for 180,000 total and players flipped their cards.
Mike Watson: K♥9♦
Santhosh Suvarna: 6♦6♣
Elton Ostreni: A♦Q♠
The board ran out 7♥9♠K♣6♥J♣. Watson made two pair on the flop and looked set for the triple up, until the turn gave Suvarna a set of sixes. He held to more than double his stack, sending Watson to the rail.
Level: 12
Blinds: 3,000/6,000
Ante: 6,000
"I am all in. No snap-call, please," Ren Lin said as he put in his last 50,000 from the hijack. He avoided calls up to Jean-Noel Thorel in the big blind, but Thorel did snap-call to put Lin at risk.
Ren Lin: K♠Q♥
Jean-Noel Thorel: 10♦10♥
"Lady Gaga, king Gaga," Lin said as he revealed his cards. The board ran out 8♠6♣5♦7♠2♠ and Thorel's two tens stayed in the lead to send Lin to the rail yet again.
Teun Mulder opened to 10,000 from the hijack. Kayhan Mokri called on the button and Samuel Ju defended the big blind.
Mulder and Ju checked the 3♦J♠4♣ flop to Mokri, who fired a bet of 9,000. Ju called before Mulder put in the check-raise to 50,000, making him all in. Mokri and Ju folded quickly and Mulder took the pot.
The players have been settled around their new tables and action is back underway.
