Ollie Garland

Level 7 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Santhosh Suvarna raised to 50,000 from early position and Daniel Negreanu called in the cutoff.

The A♣2♠A♥ flop saw Suvarna check-call a bet of 50,000 from Negreanu.

The K♥ turn checked through to the Q♣ on the river. Much to Negreanu's dismay, Suvarna took the lead for 150,000. Visibly frustrated, Negreanu laid down his hand.

Vaskaboinikau check-raised to 105,000 over a bet of 30,000 on the J♥J♠7♦ flop and Schindler quickly conceded the pot.

Level 7 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

The pot stood at approximately 550,000 with two players looking at a board of Q♠9♥3♦J♦.

Jonathan Jaffe, in early position, checked the action to Michael Moncek, in middle position, who checked back.

Jaffe checked again on the 5♦ river. Moncek bet out for a sizeable 425,000 and Jaffe check-raised, moving all in and asking for Moncek's remaining 1,200,000 left behind the line. Moncek thought for some time before tossing his cards into the muck

Dan O'Hair

Level 7 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Seth Davies and Jonathan Jaffe were heads-up on a flop of 8♥4♣6♣. Davies was in the small blind and check-called a 120,000 bet from Jaffe, who was in the big blind.

The 4♠ came on the turn and Davies checked once more. Jaffe bet enough to put Davies all in for his last 330,000 and Davies quickly called to put himself at risk.

Seth Davies: 9♦4♦ All in
Jonathan Jaffe: 10♠8♦

Davies had turned trips and was an overwhelming favorite to double up.

The 9♠ river needlessly improved Davies to a full house and he doubled through Jaffe.

Vogelsang check-called a 30,000 bet from Hecklen on the K♦6♣3♣ flop and a 180,000 bet from Hecklen on the 10♥ turn.
