Tyler Foran

Level 23 : 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

With about 285,000 in the middle the turn read 10♠6♣5♣5♠ and John Zable led for 75,000. Chino Rheem put in a raise to 235,000 and Zable called.

When the 4♠ completed the board on the river, both players tapped the table.

"Tens?" Asked Rheem.

"Yep," Zable replied as he rolled K♠K♦10♥10♣.

Rheem mucked his hand while saying, "I'm playng so f***ing good, you guys. You don't even know." While claiming to have sixes full.

Level 23 : 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Andreas Zampas limped under the gun before Steve Zolotow raised to 125,000 on the button. The blinds folded and Zampas made the call.

Both players checked the 10♥6♥3♣ flop to see the 3♠ turn. Zampas checked once more before Zolotow bet 225,000. Zampas responded with a check-raise to 550,000, putting the action back on Zolotow. After about a minute he surrendered as he said, "Okay, you've convinced me."

Zack Doubles Thru Rheem

Kirk Brown

Level 23 : 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Chino Rheem opened to 90,000 preflop and Daniel Zack three-bet to 315,000.

"I raise the pot," Rheem announced when the action folded back to him and set out 990,000. Zack just called, leaving behind only 130,000.

"F*ck it, I'm putting it in dark... The pot is too big, even if you flop me dead you can have the rest..." Chino said as he set out a stack.

The flop came out 10♣4♣8♠ and Zack immediately set the rest of his chips out to put himself at risk.

Daniel Zack: Q♣J♣10♥7♥
Chino Rheem: A♥A♠6♣2♥

"Wow! Need a big hold here, because I think I'm actually a dog right now..." Chino said, shaking his head.

And just like that, the 9♣ peels off on the turn to give Zack a flush and left Rheem drawing dead. The 6♠ river was irrelevant and the big pot was pushed to Zack for the double.

Jaspal Brar: A♥J♠10♠3♥ All in

Level 23 : 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Four players went to the J♣8♦5♥ flop and the action checked to Ruomeng Dong who shoved his last 300,000 into the pot of 365,000, and only Steve Zolotow made the call.

Ruomeng Dong: 5♠5♣4♣4♥ All in
Steve Zolotow: A♥A♦J♦8♠

"I'm in trouble," Zolotow said as he saw Dong's hand, but that quickly changed as the J♠ hit the turn to give him jacks full of eights. The 7♦ river changed nothing, sending Dong to the payout desk in 23rd place.
