Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Florian Duta opened to 2,500 from under the gun and a player in the cutoff called. Sardor Gaziev in the small blind and Mark Fraser in the big blind came along as well.

The flop fanned out Q♥10♦8♠ and all four players checked their options to the 2♦ turn. Gaziev led out for 3,000 and only Fraser got out of the way.

On the A♣ river Gaziev kept up the aggression with a large size of 15,200. Duta took some time before moving all in for 67,800 and the cutoff went deep in the tank. After close to a minute, the cutoff slid forward his stack of roughly 60,000 to make the call. Gaziev snap-called behind with close to 65,000 and the cards were shown.

Gaziev rolled over K♠J♣ for Broadway and Duta had the same hand with K♦J♦. The cutoff revealed A♥8♦ for two pair as they made their way to the exit. Gaziev and Duta chopped up the pot and the cutoff's stack.

Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Blair Hinkle limped under the gun, followed by another limp before Mark Dezolt limped the hijack, and the cutoff raised to 7,500. The action quickly folded back around to Dezolt as he made the call.

The dealer fanned a flop of 8♣7♠5♣, and Dezolt check-raised the bet of 15,000 to 45,000. The cutoff had 45,000 total and moved all-in, which Dezolt instantly called as they rolled their hands.

Cutoff: J♠J♣
Mark Dezolt: 7♥5♥

Dezolt out-flopped the pocket jacks of his opponent and the board completed with the 6♠ on the turn, and the 3♣ on the river.

Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Four players saw the flop of A♦K♦7♦, creating a pot of 12,000. The big blind bet 5,000 before Anatoly Nikitin raised to 10,000. There was a call from the player next to act before the button raised to 75,000.

The big blind instantly folded, and Nikitin called off his 43,600. The player next to act tanked for three minutes before the floor was called, and folded before the floor got to the table.

Anatoly Nikitin: J♦10♦
Button: 3♦2♦

Both players flopped a flush and Nikitin scored the double when the board completed with the A♠ turn, and the 8♦ river.

Ronald Lane raised from under the gun to 2,000 and the player in early position three-bet to 6,500 and Lane made the call. The flop came 7♣8♣3♥ and Lane checked and the early position player moved all in for 13,000. Lane made the call with the up and down straight draw and we were off to the turn.

Early position player: K♠K♦
Ronald Lane: 10♦9♦

The turn brought the card that Lane was looking for, the 6♥ and the river 10♣ was redundant after Lane made the straight and knocked out a player.

Level 7 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Derek Molnar raised under the gun for 1,900 and received a call from the early position player and the late position player. The player in hijack moved all in for 5,600 and Molnar four-bet all in for about effective 45,000. The late position player made the call and two players were at risk.

Hijack: 6♦6♥
Late position player: A♣K♣
Derek Molnar: Q♥Q♣

The board came out J♠2♥5♣10♦J♣ and Molnar knocked out two players at once with his two pair, hence how he thought it was the shootout.
