Level 5 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

In a three-bet pot to the {8-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{4-Spades}, Christian Christner bet 16,500 out of the small blind into a pot of around 48,000 and Stephen Chidwick in the cutoff called. After the {5-Spades} turn, Christner bet 40,500 and Chidwick's jam for 90,000 forced a snap-fold from Christner.

One table over, Mikhail Smirnov raised to 5,100 and table neighbor Steffen Sontheimer made it 15,500 to go, Smirnov called. The {Q-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} flop and the {9-Clubs} turn were checked, and Smirnov check-called a bet of 12,000 on the {9-Diamonds} river. Sontheimer rolled over the {A-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} and that ended up as the winner.

Phua Takes the Lead

Level 4 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Paul Phua raised to 5,000 with the {9-Clubs}{8-Spades} and Dan Cates called in the big blind with the {A-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}. On the {10-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{4-Hearts} flop both players checked and Cates also checked the {9-Spades} turn. Phua bet 9,000 into 12,800 and Cates came along.

After the {5-Spades} river, Cates checked the third street in a row and called a bet of 16,000 by Phua to see the latter jump up to more than half a million in chips.

Both clashed in the very next hand to create an even bigger pot on the feature table.

It started with a raise to 5,000 by Phua in the hijack with {7-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} and Cates defended the {A-Clubs}{4-Clubs} in the small blind with a three-bet to 21,000, Phua quickly called. The {7-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{3-Spades} flop gave Phua a full house and Cates bet 15,000, Phua just called.

After the {J-Spades} turn, Cates fired a second bet worth 55,000 and Phua called. The {5-Hearts} river slowed down Cates and he checked, Phua moved all in almost instantly.
