Level 5 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante

Action was caught on the {q-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} flop in a pot between Yigit Aksoy and Markus Gonsalves.

Aksoy bet 3,500 into a pot of 8,600 from the small blind and was called by Gonsalves who was on the button.

Wang Felted by Holz

Level 5 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante
Michael Wang
Michael Wang

Michael Wang moved all-in for the last 5,100 via open shove and it folded all the way to Fedor Holz in the big blind. The not-so-retired poker superstar mulled it over for 30 seconds and then made the call.

Michael Wang: {q-Spades}{j-Diamonds}
Fedor Holz: {j-Spades}{10-Spades}

The {9-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{5-Clubs} flop gave both players straight draws. Nothing changed with the {4-Spades} turn but the {q-Clubs} river spelled the end for Wang on the first entry.

Gathy Turns Broadway

Michael Gathy
Michael Gathy

With 7,500 in the middle on the {a-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{q-Spades}{k-Hearts} board, Michael Gathy check-jammed for 12,600 from the big blind after John Krpan bet 2,500 from the button. Krpan wasn't a fan of the situation but called to put Gathy at risk of elimination.

Michael Gathy: {j-Clubs}{10-Spades}
John Krpan: {a-Spades}{j-Diamonds}

Krpan needed a ten to chop the pot but the {6-Diamonds} river confirmed Gathy's double up.

Level 5 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante

There was 5,500 in the pot and Kou Vang was in early position against Diego Ventura in the big blind.

The board read {10-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{a-Diamonds} and Vang bet 4,500 when checked to. Ventura called.

The {3-Diamonds} was the river and Ventura checked. Vang eyed up Ventura's stack while in the tank before checking back. Ventura showed {10-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} to take down the pot as Vang mucked.

Small Pots for Cloutier and Murphy

Level 5 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante

Anton Astapau raised to 1,000 from under the gun and was called only by Rock Cloutier from one seat over. The {8-Hearts}{8-Spades}{2-Diamonds} flop was checked to Cloutier, who bet 3,400 to win the pot.

One table over, a three-bet pot saw Andrew Moreno bet the {8-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} flop as a single T-5,000 chip was out in front. Dean Murphy raised to 7,100 on the button and Moreno folded.

Duczak Gets A Double

Level 5 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante

Aaron Duczak opened to 1,100 from the button before David Coleman three-bet to 3,800. Duczak then jammed for 22,500 and Coleman called to put the Canadian at risk.

Aaron Duczak: {a-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}
David Coleman: {k-Clubs}{q-Clubs}

Neither player connected on the {10-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{10-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} runout meaning Duczak's ace-high was the best hand.
