Tim Baker

Level 5 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Matt Hunt opened from the button to 6,500. Dario Sammartino three-bet from the big blind to 20,000 and Hunt made the call.

Sammartino fired a continuation bet of 15,000 on the 10♥4♥6♣ flop. Hunt made the call to see a turn.

When the turn came a flush completing Q♥, Sammartino slowed down and checked. Hunt moved all-in for about 65,000 and Sammartino snap-called.

Matt Hunt: A♠A♦ All in
Dario Sammartino: Q♦Q♣

There was no ace on the river for Hunt as the dealer put out the 2♥. Hunt wished the table good luck as he exited the tournament area.

Level 5 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

In a three-way pot on a flop of 9♥9♣J♥, a player bet 6,000 and Matthew Fields called before Kristen Foxen raised to 18,000. The initial bettor folded and Fields raised all in for around 40,000 to bring a quick call from Foxen.

Matthew Fields: K♦10♦ All in
Kristen Foxen: A♥9♠

Foxen had trips to be in front of Fields' gutshot, and the A♦ turn gave her a full house to have her opponent drawing dead headed to the 10♠ river.

Level 3 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Alex Foxen opened to 4,000 on the button and in the small blind, Ren Lin three-bet to 11,000 which saw only Foxen call.

The flop came out 10♦K♠4♠ and Lin bet 8,000 which Foxen called.

Lin bet once more on the J♦ turn, sizing up to 29,000 and Foxen called a second time.

On the river 9♠, Lin moved all in for 98,000 and Foxen looked back at his hole cards.

"Good luck in the $300," Foxen said as grabbed a stack to call with.

Ren Lin: A♣2♦ All in
Alex Foxen: A♠6♠

"Ayaaaa," Lin said as he gave Foxen a big hug as Lin's ace-high was no good against the nut flush of Foxen. Foxen raked in a sizable pot while Lin was eliminated from the tournament.

Level 3 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Aliaksandr Shylko opened to 4,500 before Jonathan Little reraised to 14,000 from the small blind. Pavels Spirins was in the big blind and jammed for 51,000. Shylko folded before Little put in calling chips.

Pavels Spirins: A♠K♣ All in
Jonathan Little: A♣Q♥

Spirins had Little dominated and scooped in a double-up after the 4♦4♠A♥2♥9♦ runout.

Little was left with 40,500 and the following hand, he made it 4,000 from the button. Bin Weng put Little all in from the big blind and after the latter used a time bank, he called.

Jonathan Little: A♣5♠ All in
Bin Weng: K♥Q♣

Weng missed the J♣2♥8♣5♣7♥ runout, meaning Little's pair of fives was enough to take the pot.
