Level 4 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Christopher Miller opened the action from under the gun with a raise to 1,600. Euan McNicholas then three-bet from the cutoff to 4,500. When it folded back to Miller, he four-bet to 15,600.

McNicholas went into the tank before ultimately choosing to return his cards to the dealer.

Before he did, he asked Miller if he would show his hand. Miller obliged, flipping over A♠A♣. McNicholas then turned over his own cards, showing that he folded K♠K♥, impressing the whole table.

Level 4 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Dan Sfarlea raised to 1,400 from middle position, which only Qenan Musliu, one seat to his left, called.

Action checked through on the 2♠K♣K♥ flop, and again on the K♦ turn.

Sfarlea put out a one big blind bet, 600, on the river 10♣. Musliu called.

It was A♠J♥ for Sfarlea, who had managed to squeeze out some value, as Musliu flipped over A♣9♥.

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Sean Randall raised to 1,100 from early position, which saw a call from the player on the button before Alexandra O'Brien three-bet to 3,800 from the big blind. Randall called, as did the player on the button.

O'Brien continued for 3,800 on the 9♦7♠K♣ flop, which Randall called before the other player folded.

The turn brought the 5♣, seeing O'Brien place another bet, this time for 6,000. Randall responded by raising to 44,000, enough to put O'Brien all in, who had another 30,700 in her stack.

After taking some time to mull over the hand and her options, O'Brien opted to call.

Alexandra O'Brien: Q♥Q♦ All in
Sean Randall: K♥K♦

It was bad news for O'Brien, who was drawing dead before the river 10♠ was even dealt, seeing her take her leave with her chips pushed in the direction of Randall.

The action was joined as Thomas Molnes had his whole stack in the middle on a 6♠4♥4♠5♣5♥ board.

He flipped over his Q♦Q♥, which was good enough, as his opponent revealed he had 9♣9♥.

Level 2 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante

Seeing a limp ahead of him, Tom Vaaben opted to limp in too before seeing Krzysztof Grubka raise to 1,200 from the cutoff. The action folded back to the two limpers, who both called.

The dealer revealed a 10♦8♠A♣ flop, which saw Grubka continue for 1,100 when both players before him checked. His first opponent folded, but Vaaben called to see another card.

The turn brought the 7♦, and Vaaben checked again. Grubka put out another bet, this time for 2,500, which saw Vaaben return his cards to the dealer.

Level 2 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante

Erik Ostergaard raised from under the gun to 900, which Sandro Taddei called on the button before Deborah Espe called from the big blind, too.

The dealer spread a 3♣K♦Q♦ flop, and as quick as a flash, the action checked to Taddei, who bet 1,500, and both of his opponents' cards were in the muck in an instant.
