Paul Lee raised to 1,500 in the hijack before Tianyi Ma slid out a three-bet to 4,000 in the cutoff. Action folded back around to Lee, who called to see the 9♠10♠3♦ flop.

Lee checked and Ma fired 2,000. That was met by a check-raise from Lee to 6,500 and the call was made.

The 5♥ turn saw Lee lead out for 5,500 and Ma tossed in the call. The 3♣ river completed the board and Lee slowed down with a check.

Ma took a moment before firing a bet of 7,000, taking down the pot as Lee folded.

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Tyler Cornell opened to 1,100 from middle position and Elvyn Bello made the call in the hijack. Dan Heimiller came along in the cutoff and Jonathan Wang completed in the big blind.

The 10♦9♠10♠ flop was met with a round of checks and the 3♥ turn was flipped up. All four players checked again leading to the Q♣ river.

Wang led out with a bet of 3,500, good enough to claim the pot as all three opponents folded.
