Book Pulls in Another Big One
Level 18
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Action was opened under the gun to 22,000. Christopher Book flat called from middle position and the blinds both called.
The 6♥5♠4♦ flop checked to the original raiser who continued for 32,000. Book called, the small blind folded, and then the big blind check-raised all in for about 62,000. Both players called.
The Q♠ turn checked through to a 6♠ river. Both players checked again and the cards hit their backs.
The big blind showed 8♣3♣ for a flopped open ender that missed. Under the gun tabled 7♠7♦ and Book would win with J♠J♣. He is now sitting towards the top of the leaderboards.

Byars Gets the Best Hand to Fold
Level 18
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Action was opened by Sean Byars in middle position to 20,000. Action then folded to a player in late position who three-bet to 45,000. The button flat called and action was back on Byars. He took his time but eventually landed on a four-bet jam to about 255,000. The player in late position shook his head and accidentally flashed pocket 10s as he folded. The button player then surprisingly put in the chips for a call.
Sean Byars: A♥A♦
Button: Q♠Q♣
The 3♠10♦10♠ flop was gut wrenching for the three-bettor who folded as he would have hit quads. The 9♦ turn and 9♥ river sealed the deal and Byars scooped a big pot after getting what would have been the best hand to fold preflop.

Book's Turn Card Stuns the Table
Level 17
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Action was opened on the button to 16,000. Christopher Book was in the small blind and three-bet to 45,000. The button put in a four-bet to 100,000. Book smooth-called.
The 9♣2♠6♦ flop hit the felt and after only a few moments of thinking, Book ripped it in having his opponent covered. The button snap called.
Button: A♠A♣
Christopher Book: K♣K♠
Book was dominated, but the dealer came with some help in the form of the K♥ right there on the turn. The river 6♥ sealed the deal and Book scooped a massive pot after being on both the wrong end and ultimately right end of a cooler.

The river brought a 6♠ and Dodd went into the tank. After about a minute he led for a large sizing of 135,000. The original raiser thought for about a minute before eventually finding a fold.
Dodd dragged a big one after some well-timed aggression.
