More For Pokrivnak
Level 6
: 300/500, 500 ante
Andy Pokrivnak raised to 1,300 from under the gun, and was called by the player next to act, as well as Vanessa Kade in the hijack, Timothy Guilford in the small blind, and the big blind.
"No respect!" Pokrivnak said with a grin.
The 
flop fell, and action checked to Pokrivnak, who did some calculations before betting 3,100. Shortly after making the bet, he said, "Oh, I forgot the ante!" The forgotten ante didn't seem to matter, however, as all four of his opponents quickly folded, and Pokrivnak showed the from his hand before bringing in the pot.

TKO For "ratedGTO"
Level 5
: 200/400, 400 ante
A player limped in from middle position, and Ricky "ratedGTO" Guan raised to 1,600 from the hijack. The middle position player called.
The 
flop was checked by the middle position player, and Guan bet 1,200. The hijack called.
Both players checked the turn, and the 
river was checked again by the middle position player. Guan bet 9,000, and the middle position player check-raised all in for around 20,000, which Guan snapped off.
"Ah, I thought you had ace-king!" the middle position sighed, tabling 
for a flush, and Guan rolled over 
for kings-full and the knockout.
