Four to the Royal on Board
Level 2
: 100/200, 0 ante
Action was on the river as the super wet board of 
was showing. Xin Lin moved all in for a little over starting stack against Anurag Bandla who had the decision on his hand.
After a while, Bandla folded. Lin did not show, leaving everyone wondering if there had indeed been a royal flush in play or not.

Anderson Wins Flip
Level 3
: 100/200, 200 ante
Charles Anderson was weighing a decision as his opponent on his direct right had moved all in preflop over Anderson's raise to 700.
His opponent said, "this is my fourth bullet already" which promoted Anderson to spike his chips in for a call.
It was a flip as Anderson held the 
vs the 
of his opponent, with Anderson slightly covered.
The flop sent Anderson into the lead as it came 
. The turn was the 
and the river the 
to score the pot for Anderson and leave the player holding queens very short stacked.
