Level 4
: Blinds 300/500, 500 ante
The turn showed J♠6♥5♦4♥ and Jedd Kossew made it 8,000 to go. Stephen Courtney pushed all-in and Kossew beat him into the pot.
Courtney tabled the 6♠6♣ for a flopped set of sixes but Kossew had that pipped with the J♥J♣ for top set, leaving Courtney with just a single out. No miracle came with the Q♠ river and Kossew doubled for 26,100 to leave Courtney on a nub.

Gavin Sardini raised to 1,500 and called a three-bet to 5,500 by table chip leader Cliton Taliwanth, but check-folded the A♥J♥6♥ flop with the words "wrong suit for me".
Norman Cherry jammed preflop into Jamie Vilela, who had 2,500 out in front. "Good fold," Cherry told him and Vilela replied "yeah, I am folding" and flashed the A♥J♣. "I am not gambling with nothing," Cherry replied and exposed his Q♠Q♣.

: Blinds 300/500, 500 ante
A large pot was brewing over on table seven when Cliton Taliwanth checked the Q♠6♣4♣5♥7♣ river and Joe Rahme bet 23,000. Taliwanth then check-jammed and Rahme asked for a count. The shove was for 81,800 total and Rahme reluctantly folded, exposing 10♣9♣ for a ten-high flush.
"Did you have a straight flush?" Rahme asked but Taliwanth never revealed his hand.
One table over, Greg Mokgoatlheng three-bet to 3,600 and Robert Cowley just called. The pot stayed rather small on the A♦8♥7♠Q♣2♣ board with only two streets of moderate betting action, as Mokgoatlheng prevailed with A♥K♦ versus 10♦10♥.

With 8,000 in the middle to the Q♥10♣2♣ flop, the action checked to Nathan Dayani from under the gun and he bet 2,500. Only Alan Jung on the button called with the words "see one more".
Dayani led the 9♠ turn for 3,000 and the 5♦ river for 3,500, both of which Jung called. The K♦J♥ of Dayani had turned the king-high straight and Jung mucked.

On the river of a A♣8♣4♠2♥A♠, Rajeev Poonhath was all-in for 12,000 and that had sent Jaco Mouton into the tank. He used one time bank to eventually call and Poonhath tabled the A♦5♦ for trips aces to get back above the starting stack.
"Glad no diamonds came, I folded two of them," said Cliton Taliwanth.

Satellite winner JS had just taken a seat and put the chips to use right away, not having received any time bank extensions. He made it 2,000 to go preflop in the hijack and Norman Cherry reraised to 8,000 in the cutoff. JS then pushed all-in and Cherry reluctantly folded with the words "you have to have aces".
JS offered to show one card if Cherry would do so and they both exposed one card each, the K♦ and the Q♥. That'll be no aces then.
