Dominik Nitsche raised to 4,000 under the gun and was called by Stefan Schillhabel in the big blind. The flop came {a-Spades}{9-Hearts}{7-Hearts} and Schillhabel check-called a bet of 6,000 from Nitsche.

Adrian Mateos
Adrian Mateos

Christian Christner opened to 3,500 from middle position and Stefan Schillhabel called in the cutoff before Adrian Mateos three-bet to 20,000 from the small blind.

Christner called and Schillhabel folded as the flop landed {8-}{4-}{3-} with two spades. Mateos led out for 15,000 and Christner raised to 36,000 with Mateos calling as the turn landed the {9-} as both players checked.

The river landed the {K-Spades} and Mateos pushed his last 65,000 into the pot and Christner called.

Mateos sheepishly revealed his {A-Spades}{Q-} for just ace-high as Christner tabled his {10-Spades}{9-Spades} for a flush to eliminate Mateos while simultaneously moving his stack up to 395,000 in chips.

Davies Doubles Through Holz

Level 4 : 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Seth Davies raised to 4,000 from the hijack and Fedor Holz defended his big blind. The flop came {q-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{4-Hearts} and Holz checked his option. Davies bet 4,000 and Holz check-raised to 11,500. Davies called and the two players saw the {3-Clubs} on the turn.

Holz fired again for 25,500 and Davies stuck around for the {9-Clubs} on the river. Holz waited a full 30 seconds before moving all-in. Davies instantly called and turned over {q-Spades}{q-Hearts} for a full house. Holz was forced to show his hand and tabled {7-Spades}{4-Diamonds}.

Katz Doubles with a Flush

Level 4 : 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Dan Shak opened to 4,000 from under the gun and Cary Katz three-bet the button to 16,000. The action passed back to Shak, and he pushed out a stack of blue 5,000-denomination chips into the pot to effectively put Katz all in.

Katz paused, shrugged, and then committed his 86,000 total tabling his {A-Clubs}{K-Clubs} to be in a race against Shak's {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}.

The dealer spread a {5-Clubs}{3-Spades}{10-Clubs} flop to give Katz outs to a flush draw to go along with his pair, and when the turn landed the {J-Hearts}, he picked up another out to a straight.

The river landed the {6-Clubs} completing Katz's flush to ensure him the double to 176,000 as Shak dropped to 125,000 in chips.

Tollerene flopped a straight against Greenberg's overpair. The turn was the {8-Clubs} as Greenberg picked up a flush draw. The river landed the {10-Diamonds} and Greenberg was sent to the rail.

River Helps Rast

Level 3 : 500/1,500, 1,500 ante

Ike Haxton raised to 4,000 from the cutoff with the {8-Clubs}{8-} and Brian Rast called from the button with the {10-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}.

Both blinds folded, the flop came down {2-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{9-Hearts}, and Haxton led out for 7,000. Rast raised it to 24,000 and Haxton called, which brought about the {5-Clubs} turn.

Both players checked and then did the same on the {10-Spades} river.

"Eights," Haxton proclaimed and tabled his hand. It was no good though as Rast had rivered a pair of tens.
