Level 4
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
With the big blind not in his seat and sitting out the hand, a player from under the gun opened to 2,500 and received calls from a player in the cutoff and Gurcan Gungoren in the small blind.
The flop came 8♣5♥3♣ and action checked around to the original raiser who continued for 10,000. Only Gungoren made the call.
Gungoren checked in the dark on the 8♥ turn and the under the gun player checked behind.
On the K♠ river Gungoren bet 5,000 and was called by his opponent. Gungoren turned over trips with Q♥8♠ which was enough to take the pot.

Elias Moukawem opened to 3,000 from middle position and was called by Sandra Cotescu on the button before a player in the big blind three-bet to 10,000. Both Moukawem and Cotescu made the call.
The flop came J♣10♦5♠ and the big blind continued for 11,000, once again receiving calls from both opponents.
Action checked around to Cotescu on the 3♣ turn and she bet 30,000. The big blind got out of the way while Moukawem made the call.
Moukawem quickly shoved on the Q♥ river, covering Cotescu who had around 50,000 behind. Cotescu briefly considered her options before calling off with the rest of her stack.
Cotescu had a set with J♦J♠ but Moukawem had rivered a Broadway straight with A♣K♦ to send Cotescu to the rail and take the pot.
