Level 2 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Chad Eveslage opened to 3,500 from the cutoff, then called after James Chen three-bet to 17,000 out of the small blind.

Chen led out for 14,000 following the 8♣K♥9♥ flop, receiving a call from Eveslage.

The Q♠ turn saw Chen check, prompting Eveslage to fire off 22,000. Chen made the call to see a river.

Chen checked once more on the 2♥ river. Eveslage opted to move almost his entire stack into the middle, leaving himself just 500 behind. It did not take long for Chen to call with Eveslage instantly mucking to send the mammoth pot over to his opponent.

Eveslage was eliminated a couple of hands later.

The J♥ river then completed the board and the action checked to Vang. He made a bet of 32,000, to which Barbero folded after mulling things over. Queen also took his time before coming to the same conclusion, and the pot was awarded to Vang.

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

Niall Farrell raised to 5,000 from the cutoff and was called by the button and Ariel Mantel in the big blind. The flop fell 6♥10♦7♠ and was checked to the button.

He fired a bet of 6,000 and was called by both Mantel and Farrell. Mantel checked again on the 9♠ turn, but Farrell decided to lead out for 8,000. The button raised to 22,000 and Farell called after Mantel had folded.

The A♣ river was then checked down, after which Farrell tabled 8♠8♦ for a straight. It was the winning hand, as the button mucked his cards. As a result, Farrell raked in the pot and was back to a six-figure stack.

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

Picking up the action on the river, Dylan Linde in early position was involved in a hand with Jason Koon on the button.

With the board reading A♣Q♥2♥8♦10♣ and around 30,000 in the middle, Linde bet out 40,000. That sent Koon deep into the tank with his posture indicating the decision was between a call and a fold. Eventually, and after burning a time extension, he laid down his hand to take a hit to his still above average stack while sending a healthy pot over towards Linde.
