Barry Russell

Level 3 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante

With 1,800 in the middle on a flop of 5♣7♥5♥, Luca Moschitta check-raised Zidek Patrik's bet of 900 to 2,800 in the big blind and Patrik called from the cutoff.

6♣ fell on the turn and Moschitta's bet of 5,500 was called.

With 18,000 chips in the pot, the action did not slow down after the 9♣ fell on the river and Moschitta shoved after very little deliberation, Patrik snap-called with K♥8♥ and Moschitta tabled K♣J♣.

Level 3 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante

A full board of 5♠2♣3♠6♣10♠ was showing with around 6,000 in the middle when the action got to Neel Joshi three-way, who fired out 3,600. Phil Gross was next to act and he stuck in the call, as did Jacek Hildebrandt.

Joshi then showed the bullets with A♥A♦, which were good for the pot as Gross mucked, and HIldebrandt showed his K♣10♣.
