On the next hand, Dominik Nitsche opened to 4,000 from the hijack and Quan Zhou defended his big blind. The flop fell A♦Q♣J♠ and Zhou check-called a bet of 5,000 from Nitsche.
The turn was the 9♣ and Zhou checked again. Nitsche tossed in a bet of 15,000 and Zhou quickly folded his A♥ face up.

Dominik Nitsche opened to 4,000 from under the gun and picked up calls from Dong Chen in the cutoff and Quan Zhou on the button.
The flop came 10♣9♥5♠ and the action checked around to the J♣ on the turn. Three more checks and the 6♦ completed the board. Nitsche started with another check and both of his opponents tapped the table as well.
Nitsche turned over K♣Q♠ for the nut straight and was awarded the pot.
"You learn from me? Check, check, check," Ivan Zhang laughed.

Level 4
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Dong Chen opened to 5,000 from under the gun and Quan Zhou three-bet to 16,000 on his left. Ami Barer tried taking a stand with a four-bet to 45,000 on the button. Chen got out of the way but Zhou responded with a five-bet shove as the big stack.
Barer threw his stack of time banks into the middle as seconds, and then minutes, passed by. After using at least four time banks, Barer finally dispatched his cards to the muck.
"Fold ace-king?" Ivan Zhang asked.
Barer responded by nodding his head in agreement.

Gary Thompson raised it up from the cutoff and Quan Zhou three-bet to 18,000 from the small blind. Thompson called and they went heads-up to a flop of 5♠5♦3♥.
Zhou led out with a bet of 16,000 and Thompson called to see the 8♠ on the turn. Zhou counted out another bet of 37,000 and Thompson stuck around for the J♠ on the river.
Zhou splashed in a bet of 100,000, more than enough to cover the remaining 90,000 chips in front of Thompson, who reluctantly slung his cards into the muck.

Level 3
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
After just losing a small pot to Quan Zhou moments earlier, Gary Thompson was back on the saddle with a raise to 3,500 in the cutoff. Ivan Zhang defended from the big blind and the flop of K♠4♣2♣ hit the felt.
Zhang check-called a bet of 3,000 from Thompson and the 3♠ landed on the turn. Zhang checked again and Thompson announced a bet of 12,000. Zhang check-raised to 35,000 and Thompson instantly folded, shaking his head.
"Don't bluff me!" Zhang shouted.
"I wasn't bluffing," Thompson acknowledged.
"Sounds like a bluff to me," Ami Barer chimed in.

Both players checked and the Q♥ paired the board on the turn. Nitsche checked again and Zhou tossed in a bet of 16,000. Nitsche check-raised to 40,000 and Zhou just called.
The river was the A♣ and Nitsche checked once more. Zhou made a bet of 28,000 and Nitsche looked him up. Zhou flipped over Q♠Q♦ for quads and Nitsche conceded the pot.
