Level 8 : 1,250/2,500, 325 ante

Parker "tonkaaaa" Talbot opened to 5,500 in early position and Stevan "random_chu" Chew three-bet to 17,500 from the cutoff. Action folded back to Talbot who put his 107,824 stack into the middle. Chew called and players revealed their hands.

Parker "tonkaaaa" Talbot:
Stevan "random_chu" Chew:

The flop kept Chew in the lead, but the turn moved Talbot in front. With Chew needing a river king or spade, the sent the pot Talbot's way.

After the hand, Mustapha "lasagnaaammm" Kanit mentioned he had an ace "just to tilt him more". The three players joked around with each other in the chat, leading Kanit to muse that Talbot is quite friendly, especially after hitting a two-outer, to which Talbot replied, "hahaha so true".

Level 10 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

The flop fell and action folded to Vogelsang who put out a bet of 7,500. "vincientvega" raised it to 27,000, Talbot folded, and Vogelsang put his entire stack of 123,856 chips into the middle. "vincientvega" called and players showed their hands.

Tom "Daenarys T" Vogelsang:
"vincientvega":

Both players had a flush draw, but "vincientvega" also had flopped a pair of sevens to have a slight lead at this point. The turn erased that lead, and the chips went to Vogelsang on the river.

Tom "Daenarys T" Vogelsang	270,212 142,184	142,184

Alexandros "mexican222" Kolonias opened in the cutoff to 8,000, Yuri "theNERDguy" Dzivielevski three-bet on the button to 25,200, and action folded back to Dzivielevski who called.

The two players saw the flop and Kolonias check-raised Dzivielevski's 11,980 bet up to 41,331. This promoted Dzivielevski to put Kolonias all in and Kolonias called for his remaining 102,913.

Alexandros "mexican222" Kolonias:
Yuri "theNERDguy" Dzivielevski:

Kolonias had the best starting hand in poker, but Dzivielevski had a nut flush draw, and his draw indeed got there on the turn. The meaningless came on the river and sent Kolonias out.
