Level 14
: 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Eric Kurtzman bet on fourth street, earning a call from Nicholas Seiken. Then he checked fifth street with Seiken's board showing three to a straight. Seiken asked to see Kurtzman's stack and then fired. Kurtzman called.
Kurtzman paired his four on sixth and led out. Seiken called and Kurtzman bet again on the river, only to get raised by his opponent. He called and Seiken exposed three tens to rake in the pot.

: 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Todd Brunson was betting on sixth street with king-queen-jack and Yaniv Birman called his bet. Brunson fired again on the river and Birman wanted to see his cards so he paid up.
Todd Brunson: 
/ 
Yaniv Birman: / 
Birman had a Broadway blocker but Brunson still had it, showing ace-ten for the nut straight. Birman mucked and while he lost this pot, he's still sitting on one of the bigger stacks in the field, playing over 300,000 in chips.

Level 14
: 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Three-way to fifth street, James Obst was betting to the pot with a pair of tens exposed. Nicholas Seiken called and Mark Gregorich laid his hand down.
Obst fired again on sixth when Seiken spiked a third spade card. Seiken stuck around and Obst fired another shell on the river. Seiken was visibly puzzled but tossed in calling chips.
James Obst: 
/ 
Nicholas Seiken: 
/ 
Mark Gregorich: / 
- fold
Seiken's hero call paid off as Obst failed to connect with his hole cards, showing just the open pair of tens.

Level 14

With the action on the river, Ben Yu was facing a bet from Paul Mangine. There was around 80,000 lying in the pot and Yu took his time before finally tossing in two calling chips.
Mangine quietly said, "Queens up," while his board looked more straighty-flushy.
Yu, however, couldn't beat the two pair and mucked.
