"Bond" Yields Under Pressure
Level 3
: 75/150, 0 ante
Tony Dunst bet out 1,400 on a 
| 
| 
board. Dunst, acting out of the big blind, faced a raise to 3,475 and tanked about it for some time. Eventually he said "I fold" while grabbing his card protector chips back. The dealer slid his cards to the muck and another hand started. Dunst fazed out and peered straight ahead for a second. He recovered himself shortly after and continues the tournament with 5,800 in chips.

On a 
| 
board we saw David Peters bet 625 from the big blind. The player on the button made the call and the river was brought out:

and his opponent opened 
.
"If that eight would have gotten out, we would have gone crazy" the button laughed with a serious undertone. Peters smiled and started stacking the chips he had put into the pot himself.

Blumenthal Low
Level 3
: 75/150, 0 ante
Eddie Blumenthal opened to 300 under the gun, and a player in middle position moved all in for about 2,200. A player in late position jammed as well for around 5,000. Blumenthal, who covered both of his opponents, thought briefly before calling.
Blumenthal: 
Middle position: 
Late position: 
The player in late position was in great shape up against two shared overcards. The flop came 
, and everything was still roses for him. A 
on the turn and 
on the river kept it that way, and he took most of Blumenthal's stack and all of the other player's.

Shorr Folds to a Cold Four-Bet
Level 3
: 75/150, 0 ante
The hijack made it 325 and right next to him Shannon Shorr made it 750 from the cut off. The player on the button cut out 2,050 from his stack and tossed them to the middle. The small blind folded instantly but the big blind had a tougher decision it looked like. After about a minute of thinking he released, and so did the hijack and Shorr. The button showed the 
and cracked a big smile. Shorr still has 9,300 to play with, so he's still in great shape.

De Meulder Folds to a River Raise
Level 3
: 75/150, 0 ante
When we walked up to table Gold 13 Matthias De Meulder had just bet out 500 on the turn. As there was exactly 675 in the middle we assume the button had raised pre flop, De Meulder had called from the big blind and both had checked the flop: 
| 
. The player on the button made the call and the dealer burned, and brought out the 
as the river. De Meulder bet 1,300 and without much hesitation his opponent made it 3,000 even. De Meulder tanked for some time, before releasing his cards.
