Level 18
: 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
There was about 70,000 in the middle on the 
river. Jeff Platt had a bet of 30,000 in front of him, but he was facing a raise to 110,000 from Kitty Kuo.
After a minute, Platt laid it down.
"Show the bluff - we're breaking tables," said one of the players.
Kuo revealed 
for a pair of nines.

Level 18
: 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
There was about 165,000 in the middle on the 
turn and Martin Zamani bet what appeared to be 140,000.
Lander Lijo called and they saw the 
river. Lijo shoved in his last 200,000 and Zamani went deep into the tank.
"I feel like you're trying to run some ridiculous bluff," said Zamani. "It would be so silly if I lost to a bluff here."
After another minute in the tank, Zamani suggested the table could call the clock on him.
"F*** that," said one of his tablemates. "I'm finishing my beer."
Zamani finally stuck out a call and Lijo turned over 
for a set.
Zamani put his cards in the muck and mixed them in to prevent revealing his hand, laughing hysterically as he did. Lijo however, was not amused and called the floor. Zamani was given a warning.

Level 18
: 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Michael Monicatti was first to act and bet 20,000.
Niall Farrell was in the small blind and James Ownby was the big blind, both chose to call.
Monicatti continued on the flop of 
for another 20,000, which Farrell called, but Ownby was playing for it all and jammed for 295,000. Left with a choice for all of his stack, Monicatti reluctantly folded, but Farrell asked the dealer for a count.
Satisfied with his holdings, Farrell called Ownby with two cards to come, and Ownby was ahead but at risk.
James Ownby: 
Niall Farrell: 
Ownby had flopped bottom two pair, and Farrell had top pair with a good kicker.
When the 
came on the turn, Farrell's top pair became the best two pair, and Ownby needed to fill up on the river.
After the 
made the board, Ownby was eliminated.
