Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Ihar Soika opened the action with a raise to 12,000 from the button. Matthew Hunt defended his big blind.

Soika continued for 12,000 on a rainbow 4♥3♣K♠ flop and Hunt made the call.

Action went check-check on the 6♣ turn before Soika fired 55,000 on the 5♠ river. Hunt called and was shown the bad news. Soika tabled 2♣2♥ for a rivered straight and dragged the pot in.

Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Ilia Drobin bet 11,000 on the flop of 2♥2♣4♥ and David McGowan called from the big blind.

McGowan checked the 6♣ turn and faced a bet of 30,000 by Drobin. McGowan check-raised to 80,000 and Drobin immediately moved all in for around 160,000 total. McGowan snap-called.

Ilia Drobin: A♦5♦ All in
David McGowan: Q♠5♥

The meaningless 4♦ came on the river, and both players chopped the pot with a straight.

Chen Puts a Beat on Parys

Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

On a flop of 8♥2♦J♣ with around 150,000 chips in the pot, Maxime Parys bet 37,000, and Dong Chen called.

A 4♣ landed on the turn and after some time, Parys shoved all in for 101,000. Chen didn't need to think for too long before he made the call.

Maxine Parys: A♣K♣ All in
Dong Chen: 9♣7♣

Parys was in a great spot to double up and just needed to fade a ten, nine or seven on the river that wasn't a club. However, it wasn't the Frenchman's day as the 7♥ river paired up Chen, which meant Parys was eliminated just short of the money.

Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

On a board of 9♦Q♥8♦6♣3♥ and with roughly 100,000 in the pot, Jake Schwartz bet enough to put James Chen all-in. Chen thought for quite some time before making the call for his remaining 106,000. Schwartz turned over 10♣7♦ for the straight, which was enough to eliminate Chen, who had Q♦J♦

Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Lucas Blanco raised from the cutoff to 12,000 and Lester Edoc called from the big blind.

On the 2♠10♣2♥ flop, Edoc check-called a bet of 20,000 from Blanco.

A K♠ fell on the turn which saw Edoc go into check-call mode again after Blanco bet another 20,000.

When the 6♦ completed the board, Edoc checked, and Blanco checked back.

Edoc tabled Q♦J♣ for queen-high, but Blanco had the winner with Q♠Q♣.
