Action was four-way to the K♥K♠J♥A♥ turn, where Giuseppe Lomuscio checked from the small blind. Milo Jiang fired a bet of 2,000 in the big blind before Charles Villanueva raised to 7,000 in middle position.

Justin Vaysman folded on the button, as did Lomuscio as Jiang made the call.

Level 6 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Matthew Golin opened to 1,200 on the button and Geraldine Milazzo-Rodriguez made the call in the small blind. Jen Shahade defended her big blind to see the 8♣4♦2♥ flop.

All three players checked and the dealer flipped over the Q♦ turn. Milazzo-Rodriguez checked to Shahade, who fired 2,000 into the middle. Golin folded while Milazzo-Rodriguez called.

Another check from Milazzo-Rodriguez followed the 9♣ river and Shahade bet 10,000, committing nearly all of her remaining stack.

After a moment, Milazzo-Rodriguez tossed in the call.

"You're good," said Shahade as she moved to muck her cards. Milazzo-Rodriguez tabled K♥Q♥ for top pair to claim the pot.

Shahade then got her last 3,200 in on the very next hand, seeing her 10♣9♣ come up short against K♥Q♠.

Frankenberger led out for 800 on the 9♥9♠A♠ flop, with only Garcia and Batista making the call. The 5♦ turn saw Frankenberger check, with Garcia firing a bet of 1,200. Batista called again, while Frankenberger folded.

Garcia led the 10♥ river, betting 4,200. After taking some time, Batista slid out a raise to 16,000. Garcia counted his chips before announcing the call.

"Nice flop," said another player at the table as Batista showed A♦9♦ for a full house. Garcia quickly mucked and Batista took down a nice pot.

Alvaro Morgado checked the Q♥8♠K♥ flop from the big blind, with Rudolf George doing the same on his left. David Elliott fired a bet of 1,500, with only George making the call.

After taking a moment, George tossed in the call. Elliott showed 6♥5♦, while George tabled Q♣4♣ for a pair of queens to claim the pot.
