Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

In a hand reported to PokerNews by Shaun Colquhoun, Colquhoun raised to 4,000 on the button and was called by both blinds.

The player in the small blind lead out for 3,000 on a K♥5♦10♣ flop and Colquhoun raised to 9,000 after the player in the big blind folded, with the player in the small blind making the call.

Colquhoun would then move all-in after being checked to on a turn Ax, with the player in the small blind making the call.

Shuan Colquhoun: A♠K♠
Small Blind: Ax5x

Both players made two pair on the ace turn, but a 5x on the river gave the player in the small blind a full-house and leaving Colquhoun with 30,000 less chips.

Level 3 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

In a blind versus blind situation, Monika Zukowicz bet 1,000 from the small blind on the flop Q♦8♣7♦ and the big blind called.

On the turn 2♠, both players checked and on the river 8♠, Zukowicz check-folded to a 6,500 bet from her opponent.

"My teammate is my boyfriend Roman Hrabec, but it's actually funny because i'm not sure he will be able to play on time as he's still in the $10,000 PLO right now," said Zukowicz to PokerNews.

As well as the other teams, Team Hrabec will have until Level 8 to make sure both members checked in.
