David Stamm opened the action with a raise to 32,000 from middle position. Boris Kolev called in the cutoff and the big blind defended to close preflop action.

Three ways to a rainbow flop of K♣8♥2♠ and action checked over to Kolev who fired 30,000. Stamm made the call.

Players checked the 6♦ turn before Stamm bet 27,000 on the 3♣ river. Kolev thought it over but eventually made the fold. Stamm added a few chips to his table leading stack.

Action folded around to the blinds, where Dario Sammartino called from the small blind and Chance Kornuth checked his option in the big blind.

Sammartino proceeded to check-call bets from Kornuth on every street. First for 22,000 on the 6♠2♥3♠ flop, then for 60,000 on the 4♣ turn, and finally for 140,000 on the 6♥ river.

Kornuth turned over 8♣5♦ for a straight and Sammartino mucked — awarding the pot to Kornuth.

Level 12 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

The under-the-gun player opened the action with a raise to 32,000. Ian Matakis three-bet to 88,000 from the hijack before Roberto Perez put in the four-bet to 155,000 from the cutoff. Matakis made the call.

The flop came down 8♥3♥2♣ and Perez continued for 125,000. Matakis made the call.

The turn 4♦ peeled off and action went check-check. Players checked the 10♣ river as well and Matakis tabled A♦8♦ but it was no good against Perez' Q♥Q♦. Perez dragged in a sizeable pot, making him the table chip leader.

Level 12 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Yingui Li raised to 32,000 from middle position, receiving calls from Samuel Laskowitz in middle position and Nick Maimone in the big blind.

All three players then checked the 3♠5♣7♥ flop before Maimone led out for 58,000 on the J♣ turn. Li made the call before Laskowitz got out of the way.

Maimone sized down to 50,000 on the 7♠ river and Li made another quick call. Maimone tabled 8♠8♦ for two pair, but Li had the higher two pair with A♣J♥ and took in the chips.
