Level 6 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Craig Degarmo raised to 1,900 under the gun and the action folded around to the small blind who checked three-bet to 4,000. Manjo Batavia was in the big blind and folded, while DeGrarmo made the call.

When the flop came K♥Q♦2♣, the small blind continued for 3,000 and DeGarmo put in the raise, tossing three red chips across the line for a raise to 15,000, and that was enough to take down the pot.

Level 5 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

A player in the hijack limped and the cutoff raised to 1,500, which was called by Denise Pratt on the button, both the blinds, and the hijack who originally limped.

The dealer fanned a flop of J♠5♦2♥ and the blinds checked to the hijack who fired out a bet of 2,200 and only Pratt made the call.

The 3♥ hit the turn and the hijack check-called a bet of 5,000 from Pratt.

When the 7♦ completed the board, the hijack took the lead, firing 10,000 and Pratt didn't think very long before making the call. The hijack tabled 4♣4♥ and Pratt dragged the pot with top pair as she tabled J♥10♦.

Level 5 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Player in the cutoff position raised to 1,200. However, on the button, Dinesh Alt three-bet to 3,600. Everyone folded except for the initial raiser, who called.

On the 4♣9♦2♠ flop, both players checked and the 6♦ appeared on the turn. The cutoff took advantage of this card and bet 2,500, which Alt called.

The river brought the J♠. The cutoff player placed 3,500 chips in front of him. Alt took a few seconds to think, and after a brief hesitation, the Swiss player raised to 15,000. His opponent immediately folded, allowing Alt to claim the pot.
