With five players going to the flop, it looked as if a pot was brewing — but the K3K was checked around the table.

When the turn came the 7, Barny Boatman flicked out a 1,000 chip into a pot of 6,000. However, the attractive odds on offer could not find a caller and all of his rivals folded.

Knight Takes Down Pot with Small Flush

Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

With the board showing 7QJ7 and about 14,000 in the middle, Michael Knight checked and called a 6,000 bet from a player in late position. Both players checked the 3 river.

"Flush" Knight said, showing 2445. His opponent stared at his hand a few moments to make sure he didn't have the winner and then tossed his cards into the muck.

Level 6 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Action began with Ye Yuan opening to 2,100 from middle position. He received calls from the cutoff, button, small blind and big blind.

The blinds checked on the 32Q flop and Yuan moved all in for his remaining 2,500 chips. He received calls from the cutoff and small blind and was at risk with the shortest stack.

The other two players checked the 3 turn and 4 river. The player in the small blind showed KQJ10 for top pair while Yuan showed AA25 for the wheel straight to take down the pot and significantly increase his stack.
