Level 5 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante

John Riordan raised to 1,200 under the gun and Michael Berk three-bet to 3,300 from the cutoff. Action folded back to Riordan and he called to see a flop of 4♥5♠9♣.

Both players checked and then did the same on the 4♣ turn.

When the Q♣ completed the board on the river, Riordan checked for the third time and Berk, who had the bigger stack, moved all in. Riordan had 22,000 behind and opted to preserve it by laying down his hand.

Level 5 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante

A pot of around 11,500 had formed preflop between Tristan Wade in the small blind and Terrance Reid in the big blind.

On the flop of 10♠10♥10♦, Wade continued for 3,000 and Reid put in the call.

The turn brought the 2♠. Wade slowed down with a check and Reid cut out a bet of 4,400. In response, Wade raised enough to put Reid all-in for around 18,500 effective. Reid deliberated for around a minute before he opted to let it, giving a sizeable pot to Wade without showdown.

Level 5 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante

In a preflop confrontation Jason Sagle was all in for 15,700 from middle position and up against Victoria Livschitz who had him covered from the cutoff.

Jason Sagle: A♣K♠ All in
Victoria Livschitz: A♥Q♦

Sagle was in a great spot to double up with the bigger ace but the Q♠3♠9♦ flop gave Livschitz top pair, leaving Sagle drawing to just three outs. He couldn't catch a king when the rest of the board ran out 2♦5♠ and was sent to the rail while Livschitz claimed the last of his chips.

Level 5 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante

A pot of around 20,000 had formed on the river in a hand between Ivan Ruban from the small blind and Barry Woods from the cutoff on the river.

With the board reading 10♣9♠4♥8♠4♠, Ruban jammed for his remaining 16,700 which sent Woods deep into the tank. After some time, Woods decided to call him down with his big stack and the hands were revealed.

Ivan Ruban: J♠7♠ All in
Barry Woods: K♣10♠

Ruban had rivered a flush while Woods got sticky with his top pair and Ruban was able to find the full double at the expense of Woods.
