Ryan Lashmar

Level 17 : Blinds 0/0, 8,000 ante

Marcos Exterkotter opened to 63,000 from early position and received a call from Thai Ha in the hijack.

Both players checked through the Q♣J♣6♥ flop leading to the 8♥ on the turn. Exterkotter bet 125,000 and Ha raised to 405,000. Exterkotter announced that he was all in and Ha quickly made the call to put him at risk.

Marcos Exterkotter: K♦K♣
Thai Ha: 10♥9♣

Exterkotter was drawing dead with his overpair against Ha, who had hit a straight on the turn. The 10♣ river changed nothing and Exterkotter was sent to the rail one spot away from the final table.

Prociak and Lee Clash

Ollie Garland

Level 17 : Blinds 0/0, 8,000 ante

In a three-way limped pot, the action was on Wai Kiat Lee on the button who squeezed to 80,000. Only David Prociak, who was under the gun, called.

The flop came Q♦K♠8♦. Prociak check-called a bet of 100,000 from Lee.

The turned 9♦ now saw Prociak take the lead with a bet of 215,000. Lee called.

The river fell the A♣ and Prociak bet again, this time for 390,000. Lee spent almost three minutes in the tank before finally deciding to toss his cards into the muck.
