Level 3
: 75/150, 25 ante
Action was on the flop, with two players in and 
was out on the board. This is where some serious action took place...
Nguyen checked and his opponent bet 500, Nguyen raised to 1,200 and was three-bet to 3,500. Nguyen went over again, four-betting to 7,700, only to face a five-bet to 18,500. He flat called and they went to the turn.
It was a 
and Nguyen checked and the other player went all in for around 6,000. Nguyen had him covered and made the call.
Qui Nguyen: 
Opponent: 
Nguyen just needed to dodge two outs to secure the double and he managed to do that with a 
falling on the river.

Level 3
: 75/150, 25 ante
Jeff Madsen opened from the button and the big blind defended. The flop fell 
and the big blind checked to Madsen who continued for 425. The big blind check-raised to 1,500 and Madsen put in a three-bet to 2,700. The big blind just called this time.
The turn was the 
which slowed down the action as both players checked. The river brought the 
and the big blind checked again. Madsen tapped the table as well and the big blind tabled 
.
"I don't like that turn card very much," he said. Indeed it was a bad turn card as Madsen flipped over 
to escape with a chop after his opponent flopped two pair.
