Level 6
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
There was 22,000 in the middle on the completed board of 8♠8♦6♥2♦Q♠ and Robert Morin moved all in for 21,000 from the big blind.
The cutoff was not happy with the situation and went into the tank. They grabbed some calling chips and theatrically extended their arm in the air and paused, then slammed the chips over the betting line to call.
Morin turned over K♠8♣ for flopped trip-eights and the disgusted big blind threw their cards in the muck.

PokerNews walked up to a brewing situation at a table, as Craig Brennan was all in and his opponent was contemplating a call on a board of A♣K♣6♦.
Brennan’s opponent asked for a count, and the dealer let him know Brennan had 34,000 behind. The opponent, who had Brennan covered, then made the call and the cards were tabled.
Craig Brennan: 6♥6♠
Opponent: Q♣J♣
Brennan had bottom set, but he ran into a monster drawing hand. His opponent was on a straight flush draw, a flush draw and had additional outs for any 10x to give him a straight.
That’s a lot to dodge, but Brennan was safe after 3♥ hit the turn and A♠ arrived on the river to give him a full house.

: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
The middle position player bet 1,400 and was called by Neil Blumenfield in the cutoff, and Nakia Clark on the button. The big blind raised to 6,000.
The initial raiser folded as did Blumenfield, but Clark went into deep thought for nearly a minute before moving all in. The big blind called to be at risk for 43,000.
Big Blind: A♦Q♣
Nakia Clark: 6♣6♦
Clark was ahead with pocket sixes and the flop of J♣9♣5♠ was safe, however the big blind spiked the A♥ to take the lead. But there were groans by the table come the river as Clark hit the 6♥ to make a set to eliminate the big blind.
The big blind stood up and took a photo to show their friends. The 2015 November Niner Blumenfield quipped "Tell them you got it in on the turn and had a bad beat!"
Level 5
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Daniil Khmyrov experienced a series of emotions in one single hand.
Khmyrov raised 1,500 in early position, and then saw a player two seats from him flat. A player in the small blind, though, three-bet all in. Khmyrov had the all in covered and called, which prompted the other player to fold.
With heads-up action in play, the cards were tabled.
Opponent: 7♠7♦
Daniil Khymyrov: 10♥10♠
Khymyrov appeared pleased to see he was ahead but let out an audible gasp in disgust when the dealer fanned 7♣2♥3♥ on the flop, giving his opponent a set.
Khymyrov’s mood improved to a large smile and a slight fist pump when 10♦ appeared on the turn, giving him a bigger set. Khymrov still had to dodge the last seven in the deck, and he took the hand when 9♥ arrived on the river.
Level 5
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
After a preflop betting war, Charles Campos and his opponent got all the chips into the middle, with Campos covering.
Opponent: A♣A♥
Charles Campos: A♦K♥
Campos needed a lot of help from the board to win this one, and well he sure got it as the flop came out K♦J♥K♠ to immediately give him the lead with trip kings. And to really seal the deal, the K♣ smacked down on the turn to eliminate any chance of his opponent winning the hand.
To add insult to injury, the A♠ came on the river, but it was too little too late as it was no match for Campos' quad kings and he was eliminated.

On a heads-up completed board of 7♠3♦2♠10♣10♠, Cherish Andrews bet 11,000 into the pot of around 20,000 but then David Chen moved all in for 35,600.
Andrews went into the tank for a bit before she finally elected to fold and the pot was awarded to Chen, who then showed the 3♠.
Level 5
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
It didn’t take long for action to take off at Table 253 just a few minutes into Level 5 after the break ended.
Mehdi Anooshahr raised 1,500 in early position, and his bet created a domino effect. The player to Anooshahr’s immediate left three-bet to 3,500, which prompted the player next to act to four-bet all in for his remaining 15,000.
After action folded back Anooshahr, who had his opponents covered, he five-bet to 28,000, which forced out the player to his immediate left. Now heads up, both players remaining in the hand tabled their respective cards.
Opponent: A♥Q♥
Mehdi Anooshahr: 8♥8♣
The dealer fanned 5♠6♠J♣ on the flop, keeping Anooshahr ahead. The 6♥ appeared on the river, and Anooshahr still had to dodge his opponent pairing either of his cards.
Anooshahr put a hammerlock on the hand when 8♦ showed up on the river to give him a full house, which sent his opponent to the rail.
