Level 18 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Adam Hendrix raised from early position to 30,000 and was called by both Jake Schwartz and Moshe Refaelowitz in the blinds.

A flop of 8♣8♥9♦ saw Schwartz and Refaelowitz both check, and Hendrix bet 30,000. Schwartz made the call before Refaelowitz raised to 105,000. Hendrix and Schwartz both called.

The Q♦ came on the turn and after Schwartz checked, Refaelowitz bet 100,000. Hendrix folded, but Schwartz shoved all in for around 315,000. Refaelowitz called.

Jake Schwartz: J♣9♣ All in
Moshe Refaelowitz: Q♥9x

Schwartz was drawing slim and although he improved on the J♠ river, it wasn't enough to win him the pot.

Auckland Gains Much-Needed Chips

Level 18 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

It’s been a steady decline for one of Day 1’s chip leaders, but Daniel Auckland took an opportunity to pick up chips.

After action folded around to the button, the player in position raised to 30,000.

Auckland, who was in the small blind with a short stack, made the call, and the player in the big blind folded.

The dealer fanned 5♣4♥J♥ on the flop, and Auckland checked. The player on the button asked Aukland how much he had left, and Auckland moved his hands out of the way. The player on the button then bet 20,000, which Auckland promptly called.

The K♦ showed up on the turn, resulting in both players checking their option. The dealer placed J♣ on the river.

Auckland moved all in and his opponent immediately folded.

Yau Loses a Chunk of Chips

Kai Cocklin

Level 18 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

On a board of 6♦3♦8♥J♥, Ethan Yau bet a chunky amount of 210,000 on the turn, and the player from under the gun made the call.

The river brought a flush-completing A♦ and after thinking it over, Yau checked it over to his opponent. After some careful consideration, the under-the-gun player decided to shove all in for 600,000, and Yau was put to the test for his stack as the two players started the hand with almost identical counts. Yau mulled it over but eventually decided on a fold.

Level 18 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Action on the table showed Aaron Massey all in against Aaron Thomas, who had Massey covered.

Aaron Massey: A♦Q♠
Aaron Thomas: 4♥4♣

The dealer fanned 5♣K♥J♣ on the board, giving Massey a gut-shot straight draw as Thomas maintained the lead with his pocket pair.

The 2♥ showed up on the turn, and 3♣ on the river gave the hand to Thomas and sent Massey to the rail.

Jeff McMillan

Level 18 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

The flop read 4♥A♣K♦. Daniyal Gheba bet 55,000, Robert Berlacu called.

The turn was the 8♠. Gheba fired again for 200,000. Berlacu once again called.

The river came the 10♥. Berlacu checked and Gheba thought for a bit before he checked behind with a bit of resignation as he quickly mucked when Berlacu tabled the A♥8♣.
