Birney Bets Big
Level 5
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
On a heads-up completed board of J♠8♦10♣3♣5♥, there was already 42,000 in the middle when Tony Birney moved all in for his last 12,500. The action was then on Jarryd Hawkins, who shook his head as he thought about this decision.
After several moments, he made the call and was then shown 10♦8♣ by Birney for a flopped two-pair and he hastily mucked his hand.

Episcopo Enjoys the Flop
Level 6
: 400/800, 800 ante
Jonathan Mason opened to 1,500 from early position and then was three-bet to 4,100 by Zachary Carroll from middle position. The action then folded around to Michael Episcopo in the big blind who then announced he was all in for 26,400.
Mason then shoved for 20,000 on top and Carroll was forced to fold his hand while the other two tabled their cards.
Michael Episcopo: Q♦Q♥
Jonathan Mason: A♦K♣
Episcopo was ahead going into this flip with his pocket queens, but the flop made him feel a whole lot better when it came out Q♠9♥7♠ to give him top set.
The runout of 5♦A♣ did not improve Mason enough to win and Episcopo was pushed the large pot for a double-up.

Episcopo Scoops Another
Level 7
: 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
On a heads-up completed board of 7♦9♥3♥2♠K♥, there was around 20,000 in the middle when Michael Episcopo bet 20,000 after a check from Jon Swift.
Swift then went deep into the tank, checking and re-checking his cards, torn between his decision. He eventually elected to make the fold, showing A♥A♦, which got some looks from the table but Episcopo showed no rection as he raked in the pot.
