Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Jeff Sluzinski
Jeff Sluzinski

Jeff Sluzinski raised to 1,000 from early position and was called by the players in the cutoff and big blind.

Action checked to Sluzinski on the 8♠K♠2♦ flop and he continued for 1,500. Only the cutoff called.

Sluzinski's opponent check-called a 3,000 bet on the Q♥ turn and then led out for 10,500 when the 7♥ completed the board.

Sluzinski asked for a count before deciding to make the call. His opponent could only show 5♥2♥ for a pair of deuces, which were no good against the K♥J♦ of Sluzinski for top pair and he collected the pot.

A Straight for Lee

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Dae-Hyung Lee checked from the big blind on a board of 8♥10♥J♥8♦. Joseph Gallagher was in the hijack and fired 3,200 into the pot of 7,500 before Lee check-raised to 10,000.

Gallagher looked him up and the K♦ river fell. Lee now continued with another bet, this time of 14,000. Again, a quick call followed from Gallagher.

Lee showed Q♣9♠ and declared "straight," after a puzzled look from his opponent. After hearing the news, Gallagher mucked his cards and the pot was awarded to Lee.

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Scott McKernan raised 1,200 in early position and a player on his left made the call before Frank Cupello put in a min-raise to 2,000. The small blind called and McKernan put in another raise to 5,200, forcing everyone except Cupello out of the hand.

The dealer fanned a flop of 10♥3♦2♦ and McKernan continued for 7,000. Cupello hesitated for a short period of time before releasing his hand. McKernan showed him K♥K♣.

Fontaine Victorious in Four-Way Pot

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

The action was caught on a four-way flop of 10♥8♦2♣. Amy Fontaine had checked from the big blind and Roman Emelyanov bet 1,300 from under the gun into a pot of around 4,000. Jorn Walthaus made the call from the next seat over, as did Walthaus' neighbor Robert Grossglauser. Fontaine then put in the check-raise to 4,500 and all three players called.

On the 10♦ turn, the action checked to Grossglauser. He bet 15,000, only leaving himself 10,000 behind, and Fontaine was the only buyer. The 4♥ river then completed the board and Fontaine now bet enough to put Grossglauser all-in.

"This is gonna take a while," Grossglauer said upfront. After a while, he elected to save his last chips and folded his hand, shipping a big pot Fontaine's way.

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Roberto Betbese and Jaime Kaplan played a massive pot on a board that read 7♠Q♦A♣K♠K♦.

With around 15,000 already in the middle, Betbese bet 11,200 and Kaplan raised to 25,000. Betbese went in the tank and counted his chips before three-betting all in for 44,300. It was then Kaplan who went in the tank as he squirmed in his chair with his arms folded.

"I'll still have chips," Kaplan said as he called.

Betbese turned over A♠K♥ for kings full of aces and Kaplan folded facedown before the dealer slid his cards into the muck. Kaplan claimed to have had king-queen.

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

A player raised to 1,200 from early position and was three-bet to 3,000 by another player in middle position. David Levi called cold on the button and the initial raiser called as well.

Action checked to Levi on the J♠4♥10♦ flop and he bet 3,500. Only the initial raiser called.

Both players then checked down on the 6♣ turn and 10♠ flop and Levi's opponent tabled K♠Q♠. It was no good against Levi's A♥K♣ and he took down the pot.

Angelina Rich opened 1,000 in the hijack and Alfie Adam defended his big blind.

The dealer fanned a flop of Q♠8♠6♣ and Adam check-called a bet of 900.

The 7♦ fell on the turn and Adam checked to Rich who fired again, this time for 4,000. Adam didn't go anywhere as he tossed in a call.

The dealer dropped the K♣ on the river and Adam checked for a final time before Rich announced a bet of 9,000. Adam pushed his cards forward as he said, "I almost got there."

Straight Flush For Rickard

Maxime Taldir

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

It's a lucky day for Will Rickard so far, as he already hit a royal flush earlier.

This time, he was involved in a hand where two players limped in middle position, and Michael Petrecca raised to 2,200 on the button.

Rickard called in the small blind, and both players who limped folded, leaving Petrecca and Rickard alone on 10♠J♥5♠. Rickard bet 2,000, and Petrecca called.

On the turn 4♠, it was Petrecca's turn to bet 1,500 after Rickard checked. But he didn't give up and called to see the 2♠ on the river.

This time, Rickard didn't bother with the sizing of his bet and moved all in for more than 80,000 chips. Covered, Petrecca folded. It was a very good fold, as Rickard showed A♠3♠ for a straight flush.

On the very next hand, Rickard hit a set with pocket kings and increased his stack to 120,000.
