Action picked up on the flop of Q♦9♥5♣ in a hand between Nick Petrangelo in the cutoff and Thomas Boivin on the button.

Level 6 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 0 ante

Nick Petrangelo opened to 10,000 in the cutoff and Michael Gathy three-bet to 35,000 in the small blind. Petrangelo called.

Gathy continued for 25,000 on the flop of 6♠7♠K♣ and Petrangelo called. Gathy then checked on the 6♣ turn and Petrangelo checked back.

Gathy checked once more on the Q♥ river and Petrangelo moved all in. Gathy went in the tank and used two time banks before calling with his stack of around 140,000.

Petrangelo showed K♠10♠ for a pair of kings, which was good to beat the 9♠9♦ of Gathy as the Belgian was sent to the rail.

Level 6 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 0 ante

Brandon Wilson raised to 9,000 in the cutoff and Stephen Chidwick three-bet to 35,000 in the small blind. Wilson made the call.

The flop came 6♦Q♦3♥, Chidwick continued with a bet of 20,000 and Wilson called, bringing the 4♠ turn.

Chidwick used a time bank card and bet again, this time for 65,000, and Wilson made the call with the 7♣ completing the board.

Chidwick used two time bank cards before sliding out a bet of 55,000 and Wilson responded with an all-in raise to put himself at risk.

"How much?" asked Chidwick, before the dealer counted out Wilson's remaining stack of 169,000.

Chidwick took some time to think through his decision, ultimately arriving at a fold.
