Nick Becker

Level 12 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

With about 30,000 in the pot, Lee Sommers was in late position and got it all in for 53,000 effective on a flop of Q♣6♥10♦ against the under-the-gun player, who was at risk.

Under the gun: Q♥J♦ All in
Lee Sommers: K♦Q♠

The turn landed the K♥, giving Sommers two pair, but his opponent picked up an open-ender.

The K♠ river was safe for Sommers, and he improved to a full house to send his opponent to the rail.

After a raise to 6,000 from the player in the hijack, Roy Kim flatted in the small blind, and the player in the big blind three-bet jammed for close to 20 big blinds. The hijack got out of the way, and Kim called.

Hijack: K♠10♦ All in
Roy Kim: A♥Q♠

The flop came J♦7♠A♠, giving Kim top pair, and the big blind a gutshot.

Kim's hand held as the board ran out 2♣, A♣, and the big blind was sent packing.

Level 11 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Michael Marder raised to 6,000 in late position and Jeffrey Chang defended in the big blind.

The flop came 9♦J♣Q♥, and Chang check-called a bet of 4,500 from Marder.

The turn landed the Q♠ and Chang check-called again, this time for 12,000.

On the J♠ river, Chang checked for a third time and Marder fired out a bet of 40,000. Chang thought for a brief moment before giving up his hand.

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Ake Ngamsa raised to 4,500 in early position, and both players in the blinds called.

On the 5♥3♥3♣ flop, the small blind led out for 7,000 and only Ngamsa called.

Both players checked on the 9♦ turn and the Q♠ landed on the river.

The small blind checked and Ngamsa sized up with a bet of 30,000. The small blind went into the tank and eventually made the call, only to see the bad news when Ngamsa tabled 5♣5♦ for a boat.

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Stephen Burgin raised to 4,500 under the gun and Nick Rigby three-bet to 17,500 in middle position. Burgin then four-bet jammed for about 110,000 and Rigby snap called.

Stephen Burgin: A♠J♣ All in
Nick Rigby: A♦K♠

The flop came 4♣8♥7♣, with Rigby's ace-king still in the lead. The K♥ turn sealed the deal and the meaningless A♥ fell on the river, as Burgin was sent to the rail.
