Level 9 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Dominik Nitsche raised to 18,000 again in middle position and Charles Chao three-bet to 40,000 in the cutoff. Nitsche responded with a four-bet to 85,000 and Chao called.

The flop came Q♣8♦5♠ and Nitsche dropped in a stack of chips. Chao didn't take long to fold and was left with just 50,000 after the hand. Just moments later, Chao was seen leaving his seat and heading to the registration desk for a fresh stack of 200,000 chips.

Ivan Zhang raised to 12,000 in the cutoff and Ami Barer shoved all in for 87,000 on the button. The blinds folded and Zhang quickly called to put Barer at risk.

Ami Barer: K♠Q♠All in
Ivan Zhang: A♦Q♦

Zhang held a dominating preflop lead but the flop of 10♠6♠5♥ gave Barer a flush draw to work with. The 9♣ on the turn gave him some additional outs and he needed them as the J♦ hit the river to give Barer a straight and a full double up.

Dominik Nitsche raised to 18,000 in the hijack and was called by Charles Chao on the button and Quan Zhou in the big blind. The flop came Q♠9♣5♦ and the action checked around to the 9♠ on the turn.

Ivan Zhang and Ami Barer engaged in a three-bet pot with around 60,000 in the middle. The dealer fanned the flop of A♠Q♣J♦ and Barer check-called a bet of 32,000 from Zhang.

The K♥ on the turn slowed the action as both players checked to the J♠ on the river. Barer checked again from the small blind and Zhang ripped all in on the button. Barer quickly folded and Zhang took back his chips.

Level 8 : Blinds 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

Dominik Nitsche limped in from middle position again and Quan Zhou raised to 38,000 from the small blind. Marius Gierse ripped all in for just over 100,000 in the big blind which got Nitsche to fold. Zhou adamantly slammed in a stack of chips to call and the cards were face up.

Marius Gierse: Q♠J♠All in
Quan Zhou: A♠K♥

The flop fell K♦7♠7♦ and Zhou took a commanding lead after hitting a king. The 5♠ on the turn gave Gierse a flush draw but the 6♣ on the river bricked out.
