Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Jack Hardcastle opened to 800 in middle position and Shannon Shorr and Jeremy Brown called in the blinds as Nick Palma told Shorr about his infamous recent appearance on Hustler Casino Live where he verbally tangled with Martin Kabhrel.

Shorr and Brown checked on the flop of K♠A♣4♣ and Hardcastle continued for 800. Both opponents folded, giving Palma room to finish telling Shorr his story about a sticky situation involving firefighters and a children's playground.

"I was right in his face," Palma told Shorr proudly.

Level 3 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante

A painful cooler took place at Table 10 that was recounted back to PokerNews.

Action kicked off with a raise from Pedro Gusmao as Johan Schumacher and Trong Engedal both called from the blinds.

Schumacher and Engedal checked on the flop of A♦5♦5♣ and Gusmao continued for 600. Only Schumacher called.

Schumacher checked again on the 4♦ turn and Gusmao sized up to 1,800. Schumacher check-raised to 6,500 and Gusmao called.

The 4♣ river completed the board and Schumacher moved all in for 19,500 as he was met with a snap call. Schumacher showed Ax5x for a flopped full house, but he was crushed by the rivered quads of Gusmao with 4♠4♥ to be left with crumbs.

Engedal asked Schumacher whether it was painful to recount the action of such a cooler. "Not even a little bit," replied Schumacher.

"We're dead on the inside," added Chance Kornuth.
