Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Five players saw the 8♠6♠2♣ flop for 2,500 each and the small blind jammed for about 6,500. The blind blind wasted no time shoving his 12,100 into the middle, and Rheem snap-called before the other two players mucked their hands.

Small blind: 10♠9♥5♠6♦ All in
Big blind: A♠8♣6♥4♦ All in
Chino Rheem: 9♠9♣7♠6♣

Rheem called for an off suit ten as the dealer flipped the A♦ turn. The 5♦ fell on the river though, giving Rheem a straight to send both players to the rail as he said, "Or that'll work."

Brett Slezak

Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Quan Zhou limped the cutoff, Jan-Peter Jachtmann completed from the small blind, and the big blind checked his option.

On the Q♥4♠2♦ board, action checked to Zhou who bet 2,600. Only Jachtmann called.

The turn brought the J♣. This time Zhou sized up to 9,000 when checked to, which prompted a reluctant fold from Jachtmann.
