Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

A player in first position opened to 4,500 which saw action fold around to Michael Lech in the cutoff who three bet to 14,000 which his opponent called.

The flop came out 5♦6♦10♠ and the under the gun player checked over to Lech who bet 4,000 which his opponent called.

On the 9♦ turn the under the gun player moved all in for 18,300 and Lech called to put him at risk.

Opponent: Q♣J♥
Michael Lech: K♣K♥

Lech held a pair of cowboys which was ahead of the straight draw of his opponent. The river 10♥ didn't change anything and Lech took down the pot.

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

John Lanese raised to 3,600 from early position which saw Brent Wheeler move all in for 21,200 from the cutoff which saw both Tristan Robertson call in the big blind and Lanese called.

With an 8♠9♥10♦ flop, Tristan Robertson bet 8,000 into a side pot and Lanese called.

On the 6♠ turn, Robertson moved all in for 26,800 and Lanese tanked for a bit before calling to put Robertson at risk.

Brent Wheeler: 2♠2♥
Tristan Robertson: A♠J♠
John Lanese: K♣Q♦

The river 4♣ changed nothing and Wheelers pair of deuces was good for the main pot, while Robertson scooped the just as big side pot with ace-high.

Player	Chips	Progress
John Lanese	83,500 53,500	53,500
Tristan Robertson	69,600
Brent Wheeler	65,100
