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

Tony Cousineau, who had mentioned to his tablemates that he was on his second bullet the hand prior, limped in from the hijack. Players on the button and in the small blind limped behind and Ian Matakis checked in the big blind.

The flop came A♣J♥4♠ and action checked around to Cousineau who bet 5,000. The button folded, the small blind called and Matakis folded.

Cousineau moved all in for a bit under 20,000 on the Q♥ turn and was at risk when his opponent called with a covering stack.

Tony Cousineau: A♠K♠J♣10♦ All in
Opponent: K♦6♦3♥2♠

The player in the small blind missed his low draw on the 4♥ river and Cousineau collected a full double up.

Level 5 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

The action was caught on the flop, with around 18,500 in the middle on the 8♦8♣2♥ board.

Zhen Cai was in the small blind and his opponent was in the cutoff. The duo exchanged a series of raises, which resulted in Cai being all-in for his last 19,200.

Zhen Cai: A♥K♦9♥6♦ All in
Cutoff: A♣10♣7♥4♥

Neither player had connected on the flop, but the 9♦ turn gave Cai two pair, nines and eights. The 8♠ river kept Cai ahead, and he took in the pot to double up.
