Level 9
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Christopher Caruso raised to 4,000 in middle position and was called by Kevin Grabel in the hijack and the player in the small blind.
The flop came 2♥7♥J♦, the small blind checked, Caruso bet 10,000 and only Grabel continued to the 5♠ turn.
Caruso put out a big handful of 5,000 denomination chips, enough to put Grabel all in who had about 55,000 behind.
Grabel counted out his chips and took a moment to think through his decision before reluctantly giving up his hand.
Caruso tabled A♦5♣ for a pair of fives as the pot was pushed his way.

Khin Nyunt raised to 2,200 in the hijack, the player in the cutoff flatted, and Matthew Zambanini three-bet to 16,000 on the button. Harry Korotki then cold four-bet all in for 58,400 in the big blind. Nyunt then reshoved to isolate, prompting the cutoff and Zambanini to get out of the way.
Zambanini grimaced when the dealer put out the 8♦6♣A♣, signifying that he folded an ace. The turn landed the 3♠ and the river fell the 9♣ and Korotki scooped the sizable pot.
Zambanini confirmed after the hand that he did in fact lay down ace-king.
