The flop fell 
, and 888poker ambassador Ana Marquez checked from the small blind. Alexandru Ivan bet 8,000 from the big blind and Marquez raised to 28,000.
With the decision back on Ivan, and sat with a 267,000 stack, he started to think. Close to a minute had passed and Ivan was yet to make his action, but after a few more seconds ticked by he opted to give up and folded, with Marquez swooping the pot.
Max Silver saw the under-the-gun player raise to 3,000 and it folded all the way around to the Brit in the big blind. He thought about it for a minute before he announced that he was all-in.
His opponent wanted a count and Silver's stack was 21,800. He took his time but ended up folding and Silver picks up a nice pot without showdown.
It seems that Matt Berkey was eliminated from the tournament on one of the other tables as his seat is now occupied by someone else.
Level: 8
Blinds: 600/1,200

One of the juiciest cards in the deck, the

Blake Bohn was under the gun and bet 20,000 on a completed board of 
. He only had about 15,000 back and there was around 30,000 in the pot. Two players were behind him and the first one, in middle position, tanked and then called. The other shook his head and folded.
"He's gonna show the nuts," Chino Rheem said, standing up. "I promise you he's gonna show the nuts."
Sure enough: Bohn chuckled and turned over 
.
"If he bets 20,000 into that pot into two people on his birthday...I know he has the nuts," Rheem explained.
A player opened to 2,500 from the cutoff and Pierce Mckellar three-bet from the cutoff to 7,500. Kris Steinbach then cold four-bet from the small blind to 17,300.
The cutoff folded and Mckellar went into the tank, ultimately folding as well. Steinbach looked back at his cards as the dealer sent the pot his way and then the two proceeded to exchange the cards and the pot for one another.
