After a player opened to 1,700 from the button, Ben Ludlow three-bet to 6,500 from the small blind. The big blind folded and the button thought about it for around 15 seconds before he set out calling chips.

On the flop 3♠2♦A♦, Ludlow fired for 7,500 and his opponent promptly folded to award him the pot for a nice pickup.

Level 7 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Kafton Ramsamooj was fresh off of the Mystery Bounty tournament where he cashed for two small bounty prizes. He three-bet to 5,000 from the button after the player under the gun had raised to 1,800. The player under the gun put in the four-bet raise for all of his 9,100 chips. Ramsamooj made the call.

Under-the-Gun Player: K♦K♣ All in
Kafton Ramsamooj: A♥A♠

The board ran out well for Ramsamooj with 10♦A♦7♠2♥4♣ and a set of aces was good enough to win the pot.
