Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Three-way action to the 10♣Q♣6♥J♥ turn saw Jonathan Ares check from the small blind. Jeromie Heinsey followed with a check from the big blind, and Neal Liptak also tapped the table in the cutoff.

Ares led out on the 7♠ river, producing a quick fold from Heinsey. Liptak took some time before tossing in calling chips, and Ares turned over A♥J♠ for a pair of jacks.

That was enough to claim the pot, as Liptak slid his cards into the muck.

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Zachary Gruneberg opened to 1,200 from under the gun, and Kevin Motter defended his big blind to the 10♠2♠2♥ flop.

Motter checked and made the call after Gruneberg continued for 1,300. Both players then checked the A♣ turn.

The dealer completed the board with the 7♣ river, and Motter led out for 2,200. Gruneberg did not take long to make the call. Motter showed K♣10♣ for two pair, tens and deuces.

Gruneberg then tabled A♦5♦ for a superior two pair with aces and deuces, smiling at Motter on his right as he dragged in the chips.
