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

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.

The turn was the {q-Hearts} and Schillhabel checked again. Nitsche continued to fire for 15,000 and Schillhabel didn't shy away just yet.

The river brought the {10-Clubs} and Schillhabel checked for the third time. Nitsche made a bet of 37,000, finally forcing Schillhabel to lay his hand down.

Adrian Mateos Eliminated by Christian Christner

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

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: {a-Spades}{3-Spades}
Greenberg: {j-Hearts}{j-Clubs}

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.
