Tobian Loses One

Level 11 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

The board was already showing {6-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} when Meryn Tobian bet 20,000, putting her opponent at risk for his remaining stack. The latter called and they revealed their cards:

Opponent: {j-Spades}{10-Spades}{9-Spades}{6-Hearts}
Meryn Tobian: {7-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}

Tobian has a set of sevens while her opponent had outs for a straight, and the {9-Hearts} hit the river, giving the winning hand to Tobian's opponent and the double up.

Levin Takes the Gamble

Level 11 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

In a heads-up situation, the flop showed {5-Spades}{a-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} in a raised pot when a player shoved for his last 13,500. Alex Levin, on the button, tanked for a minute before saying "Are we going to gamble on this?" and making the call.

Opponent: {a-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{2-Clubs}
Alex Levin: {q-Spades}{j-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}

Levin didn't improve his hand on the {2-Hearts} turn and {k-Spades} river and conceded the double up to his opponent.

Reichenstein Puts Pressure

Level 12 : 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

A player raised to 6,000 and it was called before Uri Reichenstein three-bet in the big blind to 26,500. The initial raiser folded and the second player called.

The flop gave {5-Spades}{10-Clubs}{7-Spades} and both checked to see a {a-Diamonds} on the turn. Reichenstein bet 50,000 and it was enough for his opponent who let it go.
