Level 13
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Michael Barlow opened to 10,000 on the button and was three-bet to 30,000 from the big blind, which he called.
On the flop of 3♣5♥J♥, the big blind quickly moved all in for his last 41,000 and Barlow called after some pause to put him at risk.
Big Blind: A♣A♦
Michael Barlow: 9♦3♥
The at-risk player was well in the lead with his aces, and the turn A♥ further improved him to top set, but the river was the disgusting 6♥ to give Barlow the flush and his opponent was sent to the rail shaking his head.

On a heads-up flop of 5♦4♣2♣, Kyle Grupp checked to the button, who bet 15,000. Grupp then put in the check-raise to 35,000, which the other player called to see the 3♥ turn.
This time both players decided to check and went to the river K♥.
Grupp led out for a small sizing of 11,000 and his opponent quickly tossed out a call.
Grupp tabled 5♣5♠ for a flopped set of fives and his opponent promptly mucked, claiming he also had a set.
Level 12
: Blinds 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante
Gregory Harris made it 11,000 to go preflop and was called by three players to see a flop of 3♣9♣K♦.
The action checked to Harris, who also checked, and the action was then on Rick Pollack who tossed out a bet of 20,000.
The first two players quickly folded and it was back to Harris, who didn't hesitate before he folded Q♠Q♦.
Pollack then showed A♣K♣ for a monster holding of top pair and nut flush draw.
"Jesus, check it one time, would ya? Let me catch up!" Harris shook his head, "Ace or king only cards I didn't want to see..."
