Level 5
: Blinds 300/500, 500 ante
After Tyler Patterson opened to 1,200 from middle position, a player in late position called as well as the player in the big blind.
The flop came out Q♥4♥8♣ and the big blind checked to Patterson, who continued for 1,600. Late position folded and the big blind called.
The action on the 4♦ turn went check, check, and the dealer dealt the 10♥ on the river. The big blind led out for 2,200 and Patterson three-bet to 8,000. His opponent called and Patterson showed K♥8♥ for the king-high flush. The big blind flipped over 9♥6♥ for a lesser flush and Patterson pulled the pot.

Jonathon Kotula wagered his remaining 11,100 chips on the turn, on a board of 2♦7♠Q♠5♦.
With a pot of around 22,000, his opponent counted out calling chips and took a moment before dropping them over the line making the call, putting Kotula at risk.
Jonathon Kotula: K♣Q♣
Opponent: 6♦7♦
Kotula was ahead with his pair of queens but needed to fade a large proportion of the deck to survive.
The A♥ river was a safe card for Kotula and he smiled as he stacked his newfound wealth.
