Level 10 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Clemen Deng raised to 12,000 on the button and Michael Berk shoved all in for 389,000 in the small blind. Chris Hunichen tanked for a minute in the big blind and then folded. Deng also gave it a minute and then called off his stack of 187,000.

Clemen Deng: K♠J♠All in
Michael Berk: 5♥5♦

It turned out to be a coin flip and the flop of J♣4♦3♦ gave Deng the lead with a pair of jacks. However, the 2♥ on the turn and the 6♠ on the river gave Berk a straight to send Deng to the rail.

Katz Calls It Out

Level 9 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Cary Katz raised to 12,000 in the hijack and was called by Myles Mullaly and Michael Brinkenhoff in the blinds. The flop fell Q♥J♦5♣ and Katz continued with a bet of 20,000 which only Mullaly called.

The turn brought the 2♦ and Mullaly check-called another bet of 32,000 from Katz. The 9♠ hit the river and Mullaly checked one more time. Katz rolled over K♠Q♣ for top pair but was already anticipating to lose.

"King-ten?" Katz questioned of Mullaly who indeed rolled over K♥10♠ for a straight. "I thought it was suited at least."

Jesse Lonis raised to 13,000 in the hijack and Andrew Lichtenberger three-bet to 42,000 out of the small blind. Lonis called and they went heads-up to a flop of K♥J♣3♥. Lichtenberger announced all in and Lonis called off his stack of around 60,000.

Jesse Lonis: Q♠10♠All in
Andrew Lichtenberger: A♣J♠

Lonis was looking to catch a straight but the 2♦ and 5♠ runout provided no such help.

Level 8 : Blinds 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

Shannon Shorr raised to 10,000 in the hijack and Brandon Wilson ripped all in with a fresh starting stack from the big blind. Shorr gave it some thought and then called off his stack of 97,000.

Shannon Shorr: A♦8♦All in
Brandon Wilson: 6♠6♣
