O'Donnell Folds River
Level 16
: 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
An early positioned player raised to 8,000 and found calls from Travis Rice in the cutoff and Kevin O'Donnell in the big blind. The flop came down 
and O'Donnell checked. The early positioned player continued for 10,000, Rice called, and O'Donnell came along as well.
The board paired with the 
on the turn and O'Donnell checked a second time. The original raiser kept up his aggression with 20,000, eliciting a fold from Rice. O'Donnell called and the 
put three treys on the board on the river. O'Donnell checked for a third time and his opponent moved out 35,000.
O'Donnell went deep into the tank as over 90 seconds passed.
"Just one second, guys," O'Donnell said as he pondered his action.
Ultimately, he flashed the 
to the table for a full house of treys full of tens before throwing his cards into the muck. His opponent was pushed the pot and O'Donnell was left with about 82,000 in chips.

Lapossie Bluffs the River
Level 16
: 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
We got to the table with approximately 25,000 in the pot and a board of 
. Matthew Lapossie checked to his opponent, Lynn Samples, who bet 11,000. Lapossie check-raised to 28,000 and Samples wasted no time in making the call.
The turn was the 
and Lapossie led out for 35,000 as Samples looked him over. She made the call.
The river was the 
and as Samples glared at him, Lapossie upped the stakes and made it 110,000 to go. Samples continued to study her foe while riffling chips carefully in her right hand. Eventually she decided caution was the better part of valor and let her hand go. Lapossie turned over the bluff — 
— for a flopped flush and straight draw that never got there. As he stacked his chips, Samples continued to eye him, obviously not pleased with what had taken place. Despite the small setback she still has a well above average stack with 470,000 while Lapossie moved to 575,000.

Level 17
: 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

and Rice check-called a 21,000 bet from Clements.
The turn was the and this time Rice led out for 36,000. Clements took a peek at his cards as if to see if he had a spade and asked the dealer how much the bet was. The dealer confirmed the amount and Clements made the call.
The river was the 
and both players checked. "Two pair," said Rice. Clements didn't turn his hand over as he waited for Rice to reveal his hand. Rice finally turned over 
and Clements revealed his
