Level: 16
Blinds: 2,000/5,000
Ante: 5,000
A full board of Q♥8♦2♥J♣J♠ was showing with around 70,000 chips in the pot when Ben Miller checked it over to Hongxiang Li, who fired out 60,000. Miller went into the tank and was riffling his chips while he mulled over the decision.
Eventually, Miller tossed one of his chips into pot to signify a call, but quickly mucked his cards when he saw the A♣A♠ of Li.
Benjamin Spragg opened the button to 8,000 and got two customers from the blinds in Mark Baxter & David Moore.
They went to a flop of 7♠K♦6♥, which checked to Spragg, who continued for 9,500. Baxter then shoved for just under 60,000, and Moore took his time before he folded. Spragg then asked for a count, and after thinking for a minute, laid his hand down.
Level: 15
Blinds: 2,000/4,000
Ante: 4,000
Yu Wu had opened from the hijack to 7,500 and Leng Ong shoved from the big blind for 31,500. Wu was thinking how best to proceed and eventually elected on a call, which put Ong at risk.
Leng Ong: A♣5♠
Yu Wu: J♥10♥
Ong's ace-high was in the lead for now, but he certainly wouldn't have felt comfortable seeing the hand he was up against. However, the runout of 2♣6♠3♦3♣K♥ did keep his hand in the lead, and he doubled up.
There were around 80,000 chips in the pot on a full board of 6♣5♠A♥4♠J♥ when Benjamin Spragg checked it over to Mark Baxter on the river. Baxter had around 45,000 in his stack, but elected to only a bet a fraction of them as he fired out 13,000.
Spragg wasted no time in making the call and was shown K♦Q♦ from Baxter for just king-high. After Spragg turned over his 5♦4♦ for two pair, he was pushed the pot.
