Level 4
: 200/400, 0 ante

The 
turn helped nobody, but the 
river gave Virani a straight. He scooped a massive pot at the expense of all of Zhou's chips.

Level 3

Robert Fuchs opened for 1,000 under the gun and got three-bet to 3,000 from Alexander Petersen a couple of seats over.
"Just put it in, you know you're going to," Petersen said with a smile as Fuchs thought.
However, Fuchs announced a pot-sized reraise. Petersen snap-called for 9,400 and they saw an 
flop. Petersen called a continuation-bet of 6,000. The turn was a and Fuchs potted all in for 29,700, a tad less than pot.
"There's always a rebuy," Petersen as he called.
Petersen:
Fuchs:

fell.
At another table, Andzej Wisniewski went bust.
