Level 3
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
In a three-way three-bet pot to the 9♥8♠A♥ flop, Mikhail Katykhin fired a bet of 25,000 from the big blind as the preflop aggressor. The other player in the pot got out of the way before Recep Aydemir raised to 90,000 from the small blind.
Katykhin used one time bank before putting his stack of 253,000 in the middle, being snap-called by Aydemir, who had the covering stack.
Mikhail Kathykhin: 9♠9♦ 
Recep Aydemir: A♣9♣
Katykhin was in a great spot to double up. Aydemir did not hit an ace on the 10♥ turn or 10♦ river, doubling up his neighbor as his stack dwindled to less than half a starting stack.

Ryhor Karapanau has just catapulted himself into a stack of almost 500 big blinds!
Karapanau recalled the hand and said there was an open to 6,000 and then a three-bet to 18,000. He then four-bet the small blind to 54,000 before Mustafa Yildiz five-bet shoved around 725,000! Karapanau called off his stack of slightly less.
Ryhor Karapanau: K♥K♦
Mustafa Yildiz: A♦Q♥
The two were contesting a pot with almost 1,500,000 and Karapanau had the upper hand with his Cowboys, but there were still five cards to come.
Luckily for Karapanau, the runout of 7♦8♠4♣4♥3♣ kept his kings in the lead, and Yildiz' early double-up with a straight flush was eradicated, leaving him with just 10,000 in his stack.
On the other hand, Karapanau now has 1,450,000 to play with, just the casual 483-big-blind stack.

Rami Shouman had open-raised when Aleksandr Kirichenko made it 21,000 to go on the button. It folded back to Shouman, who tossed in a call.
The 7♠6♥8♥ flop and 5♠ turn then checked through to the 5♣ river. Shouman flicked in 11,000 chips, which Kirichenko accidentally min-raised to 22,000, wanting to call instead.
Shouman made full use of the situation and three-bet to 82,000. Kirichenko spent some time banks before letting go of his cards, visibly displeased by the situation.

Florian Duta and Nichan Khorchidian had gathered 120,000 chips in the middle when the 9♥4♣2♣6♣ turn was dealt. Duta fired a bet of 45,000 from the small blind, which Khorchidian called in early position.
They then both checked the 6♠ river. "You win," Duta stated as he tabled K♥Q♣. Khorchidian indeed had the best hand with 8♥8♣, and chipped back up above starting stack

Mustafa Ercan just made an insane bluff against Anthony Spinella, who was on the brink of making the right call but folded at the last second.
The pot already had around 90,000 in it on a board of 9♦A♠10♣ when Spinella fired out 18,000 from the small blind and Ercan called from middle position. Dori Yacoub was on the button and bumped it up to 48,000, which both Spinella and Ercan called.
A 2♦ dropped on the river and again the action checked to Yacoub, who bet 35,000. Again, both Spinella and Ercan called.
When the 3♥ came on the river, Spinella tapped the table again, then Ercan fired out 175,000. Yacoub was in a tough spot and with around 220,000 in his stack, he finally decided to fold.
When the action got to Spinella, he quickly tossed all of his time banks into the pot and started to piece together the hand. One, two, three time banks later and Spinella had the chips in his hand ready to call and seemed like he was about to drop them in, but changed his mind at the last moment and folded.
Ercan, with no hesitation, flipped over K♣Q♣ for a bluff.
"Oh my god. F**k me!" said Spinella when he saw the hand of Ercan. "You got heart man, I was so close,".
"Sorry," replied Ercan.

: Blinds 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante
Azamat Lamkov raised to 5,000 under the gun before a player in middle position three-bet to 16,000. The action then folded to Cassandra Yong in the small blind, who four-bet to 40,000.
Lamkov quickly got out of the way, but middle position made the call to a flop of 4♥Q♥7♦.
Yong forewent a continuation-bet, opting for a check instead. Middle position then fired 30,000, which Yong called. The A♥ turn saw the player in middle position size up to 80,000, about half of Yong's remaining chips.
Yong stuck around and called, however, and the Q♠ river subsequently completed the board. Yong checked for a third time, after which middle position completed their triple barrel, putting Yong all-in.
Yong snap-called and tabled Q♦Q♣ for four of a kind. The player in middle position had gone for value with his J♥10♥ for a flush, but it was no good. They saw the pot shipped to Yong, who doubled up after a rough start.
