Gross Turn for the Rockets
Level 6
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
The action was opened in middle position to 1,600 before Richard Catellier three-bet to 4,500 from the cutoff. David Gault cold called on the button and the original raiser completed.
The 8♣9♦2♣ flop hit the felt and it checked to Catellier who continued for 5,500. He was quickly met with a jam for 33,500 from Gault. The other player folded and Catellier snap-called.
The cards hit their backs with Gault all in and at risk.
David Gault: Q♣J♣
Richard Catellier: A♣A♦
Gault was drawing to the clubs but they wouldn't come. Instead the dealer peeled the 10♥ on the turn giving Gault the stone cold nuts and Catellier was drawing dead. The river was an unneeded jack and Gault scooped after getting a very lucky turn.
Catellier still sits with a very healthy stack as the next break draws near.

Callow with the Cowboys
Level 6
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Luke Callow opened in early position to 1,800 and got called by Nancy Query next to act and by both blinds.
The Q♣Q♥6♦ flop landed and Callow continued for 2,500. Only Query called.
The 7♦ turn hit the felt and Callow slowed down with a check. Query took that opportunity to take the betting lead for 2,500. Callow called.
The 8♥ rolled off on the river and the action came to a halt and checked through. Callow tabled pocket kings and Query let him know that it was good. He scooped but Query still sits with the bigger stack.

The Back Four-Bet Jam
Level 5
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
The action was opened in early position to 1,300 before Yasir Naiem Abdel Gadir flat called from the cutoff and then the action was on the small blind. He took a moment and then three-bet to 5,100.
The original raiser called and then Abdel Gadir back four-bet jammed for about 26,000. The small blind three-bettor quickly folded and action was back on the original raiser who sat in the tank for almost three-minutes before finally finding a fold.
Abdel Gadir scooped with no showdown and gets back above starting stack.

King Leads and Keeps Betting on Scary Board
Level 5
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
The action was opened under the gun to 1,500 before getting called by the cutoff and then Maurice King defended his big blind.
The 5♠6♦4♣ landed and without wasting any time, King led into the raiser with a bet of 3,300. The original raiser folded but the player in the cutoff called.
The 7♣ landed on the turn adding a backdoor flush draw and a four liner. King led again for 5,000 and the action was back on the middle position player who sat in the tank for a bit before finding a fold. King scooped and the donk-lead continues to make chips at Playground.

Fortin-Demers Goes for it All on the Turn
Level 4
: Blinds 300/500, 500 ante
There was an under the gun open to 1,200 before he got a call from middle position, Roberto Paniccia in the small blind, and Alexandre Fortin-Demers in the big blind.
The 6♥4♣K♣ flop landed and Paniccia quickly led into the field for 2,800 and only got a call from Fortin-Demers and the original raiser.
The 4♥ turn landed and Paniccia led again for 7,500 and Fortin-Demers went into the tank. After about a minute he moved all in for about 29,000. The under the gun player folded and then action was back on Paniccia who stood up and began to contemplate the call. He cut out the chips and after a couple minute he tossed them in.
Alexandre Fortin-Demers: 9♥4♠ 
Roberto Paniccia: K♠J♥
Fortin-Demers had the four for trips and would improve to a boat on the 9♣ river. He would get the pure double but Paniccia still has plenty of chips to stay in the mix.

Saba Leads into the Opener
Level 4
: Blinds 300/500, 500 ante
The action folded all the way to Guy Richard on the button who raised to 1,500 before Thom Saba called in the small blind and the big blind defneded.
The 5♦9♠2♥ flop landed and Saba quickly led for 4,000. The big blind folded but after a moment Richard called.
The 8♣ turn hit the felt and Saba didn't slow down with a wager of 6,000. Richard went into the tank and appeared to be looking for a read on Saba. He eventually found a fold and Saba flashed the jack of diamonds as he raked in the pot.
