Level 4 : 300/500, 500 ante
Michael Lisman
Michael Lisman

The board read {9-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{4-Spades} with 14,700 in the middle already.

Joseph Cashen bet 7,000 from the big blind and was called by Michael Lisman in the under-the-gun position.

The river completed the board with the {3-Diamonds}, Cashen fired another 8,000 into the pot.

"Well, I've come this far already," Lisman commented before making the call.

Cashen tabled {9-Spades}{8-Spades} for two pair with the eight-kicker. Lisman quickly tabled {j-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} for the same two pair but with the higher kicker to scoop the pot.

Cashen was left with 12,000 but lost those shortly after as he failed to hit any targets with his second bullet of the day.
