Ollie Garland

Two players were looking at a board of 2♠Q♠K♦. The player in the big blind checked the action over to Amrinder Binepal on the button, who bet out for 7,000. The big blind called.

The 9♥ fell on the turn and the action repeated, this time Binepal betting 19,000.

The 7♦ river saw one last check from the big blind. Binepal bet out for 45,000 and his opponent eventually folded.

"Whatever you laid down; very good fold!" Binepal reasured the player in the big blind.

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Action was joined as Aaron Frei moved all in preflop from the hijack and was called by a player in middle position.

Aaron Frei: A♥A♣
Middle Position: K♥K♠

Frei's happiness quickly turned into horror when the flop came J♦8♦K♣, giving his opponent a set. The 10♠ turn gave him additional outs, and the Q♣ gave Frei Broadway to win the hand and double up.

"Finally!" screamed Frei when the queen arrived on the river.

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Robert Nash raised to 8,500 from middle position and Allen Kessler three-bet to 23,500 from the next seat over. The action folded back to Nash, who jammed all in for 75,000 chips, and Kessler made the call.

Robert Nash: A♥K♦
Allen Kessler: K♠K♣

Nash would flop a Broadway draw on 7♠10♠Q♥, but the necessary jack remained absent on the 5♥Q♣ runout.

Nash was eliminated while Kessler almost doubled up.

"I only play kings and aces," Kessler commented after the fact.

Cottrell van Wingerden

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Picking up the action on the flop, Scott Bohlman in the cutoff was involved in a hand with a player in middle position. With the board reading 8♠9♣4♠ action checked to Bohlman and he fired off 10,000. His opponent made the call.

Both players checked through the 8♣ turn to the 2♠ river at which point the middle position player checked once more. Bohlman decided to go for the overbet, pushing 50,000 into a pot of around 40,000. That sizing appeared to make his opponent uncomfortable but the middle position player did eventually find a call. Bohlman could only muster J♦10♦ for the missed straight draw, falling to the A♦9♥ of his opponent.

The 7♠ hit the turn and Apter led for 13,000, and his opponent snap-folded.

David Salituro

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Heads-up on a board of 3♦8♠6♥9♠, Ryan Garcia bet 10,000 from the big blind and Renan Aziz called in early position.

The river came the 3♥ and Garcia fired out another 32,000. Aziz spent some time in the tank before throwing in a call as Garcia tapped the felt and showed J♠7♠ for a busted draw. Aziz had 10♦8♦ for a pair of eights to win the pot.

Despite dropping that pot, Garcia is still sitting on around 450,000, a vast improvement from late on Day 2 when he had just 7,000. Austin Yoo at the same table currently has 664,000.

Dan O'Hair

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Scott Blumstein raised to 8,000 from middle position and was called by Ryan D'Angelo on the button.

Both players checked on the 4♥10♦8♥ flop and Blumstein checked again on the 8♠ turn — prompting a 12,000 bet from D'Angelo. Blumstein called.

The Q♦ completed the board and Blumstein checked once more. D'Angelo fired 38,000 into the middle, which sent Blumstein deep into the tank.

Blumstein eventually called and D'Angelo indicated that he was good. Blumstein tabled J♠10♣ for tens and eights and D'Angelo mucked — conceding the pot to Blumstein.

The Sun Shines on Yedalian

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Brandon Sunshine was in the hijack and bet for an unseen amount on a board of 8♥2♠4♦K♠. Sevag Yedalian was on the button and made the call, and the two had now created a pot of over 100,000.

The K♣ river was anti-climatic, however, as both players now checked. Sunshine tabled Q♥10♥ for just queen-high and Yedalian showed A♣8♦ for a pair of eights in response. Yedalian raked in a nice pot and he plays almost double the average.
