Chris Land

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Action folded to Steffen Kylevik who limped his small blind. Luis Faria had other plans from the big blind, though, as he came in for a raise to 4,200. Kylevik made the call to see the flop come 7♦3♠Q♦.

Kylevik checked over to Faria who continued for 3,500. Kylevik made the quick call, prompting the dealer to burn and turn the 10♦.

Action checked through to the 8♥ river which also checked through to showdown.

Kylevik turned over the A♠7♥, good enough to get a muck out of Faria as Kylevik collected the pot.

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Action folded to a player in the hijack who raised to 1,600 and found callers in Alan Mello from the cutoff, Ryan Riess on the button, and the player in the big blind, before taking a four-way 3♣Q♦8♠ flop.

Action checked to Mello who bet out for 2,000. Riess was the only caller before the dealer brought the 7♠ out on the turn.

Mello paused briefly before betting out again, this time for 6,200. Riess checked his cards one last time before sliding them toward the muck and conceding the pot to Mello.
