Level 19 : Blinds 8,000/160,000, 16,000 ante

Three players saw a flop of 9♥7♦4♥ and a bet from George Coleman under the gun, was called in two spots.

The turn came a 10♠ and Coleman went all in for 116,000. This folded out the hijack but the player on the button called.

George Coleman: A♥J♥
Button: Q♦10♦

Coleman was behind but had all manner of outs — and the 'Greenstein' A♣ on the river gave him the hand.

Level 18 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

A player in early position moved all-in for 110,000 and action folded around to Robert Wells in late position, who reshoved for 227,000.

Men "The Master" Nguyen thought for few moments about making the call from the big blind, but ultimately decided to fold.

Early Position Player: A♥10♠
Robert Wells: A♦Q♣

Wells would flop top pair on the 6♠Q♥4♣ and the door would close completely for the early position player on the 4♦ turn.

The final board read 6♠Q♥4♣4♦5♦, with Wells securing the elimination.

Laggy Spragg Gets Spry

Claudio Elizalde

Level 18 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Heads up, Benjamin "Spraggy" Spragg went all on a board reading Q♣9♦3♥9♥Q♠, putting his opponent to a massive decision on a double-paired board.

After some time his opponent pushed his hand into the muck and a sly grin spread across Spragg's face. "Do you want to want to see it?", he asked, savoring the cards under his hands. His opponent gave an affirmative and he showed the 5♣3♦ for a counterfeited pair of threes. Another player at the table joked that he would have called with six high.

Spragg's opponent said they would have chopped if he called but it seems highly unlikely they both had five high in the end and more likely he also had a three.

The popular Twitch streamer ended the interaction saying, "I thought you were calling; I was resigned to going home."

Duveau Wins a Monster Pot

Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

A 20,000 raise from under the gun, precipitated a reraise to 90,000 from Julien Duveau in the small blind. After a brief moment to think, the original raiser declared all in and pushed around 460,000 into the middle.

This proved to be no deterrent to Duveau, who called instantly, and covered.

Under the Gun: K♠Q♠
Julien Duveau: A♥A♣

The dealer spread a flop of J♠A♠8♣ , making Deveau's hand stronger but providing plenty of outs for his opponent.

But the turn and river fell 7♥ 7♣, busting his rival and giving Duveau one of the biggest stacks in the room.

Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

In a hand relayed to PokerNews by Rob Perelman, Perelman raised to 21,00 from early position and was three-bet to 64,000 by a player in late position.

Perelman responded with an all-in and got the call.

Rob PerelmanKxKx
Late Position Player: A♦Ax

Perelman would connect with the KxX♦X♦ board, but the X♦ on the turn gave the late position player the nut-flush draw, giving the two players a sweat.

The final card ran out clean, however, securing Perelman the double up.
