Levi eventually called and his opponent immediately mucked. Levi also slid his cards back to the dealer face-down and was awarded the big pot.

Level 4 : 300/500, 500 ante

No-Limit Holdem

On a three-way pot with around 6,000 in the middle, the flop showed {2-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{7-Hearts} when it checked to Brian Udo in the hijack who bet 2,600 before Asi Moshe decided to raise it to 7,400 on the button. The first player folded and Udo made the call.

Both players checked on the {q-Hearts} turn and {5-Clubs} river and Udo tabled {10-Spades}{10-Hearts} for the flush. "Not good" said Moshe, revealing {9-Hearts}{8-Hearts} for the lower flush before sending his cards into the muck.

Suarez Wins Three-Way All In

Level 4 : 300/500, 500 ante

Pot-Limit Omaha

Three players wound up with all their chips in the middle before the flop. The player on the button had around 15,000 left, the under-the-gun player had around 30,000, and Anton Suarez had both players covered.

Button: {a-Clubs}{q-Clubs}{j-Spades}{4-Spades}
Under the Gun: {a-Spades}{k-Hearts}{k-Spades}{2-Clubs}
Anton Suarez: {q-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}

The under-the-gun player had the lead with two kings going to the flop, which came {4-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}. Suarez paired his ten, then improved to trips as the board ran out {9-Clubs}{10-Hearts} to win the pot.

Both opponents were eliminated, with the under-the-gun player tipping the dealer $20 before leaving just before the break.
