Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

John Sacha opened the action with a raise to 800 from the hijack. The button and small blind both called before the big blind three-bet to 3,000. Only Sacha and the button called.

The big blind continued for 5,000 on A♥3♥J♦ before Sacha raised to 12,000. His opponent gave it a thought, counted out his chips but eventually let his hand go and Sacha added to his table-leading stack.

The action was caught in a blind versus blind confrontation with the full board having been dealt K♣4♦6♣2♥4♣.

Allen Kessler, in the small blind, check-called a bet of 5,000 from the big blind. The big blind tabled A♣K♥ for top pair, while Kessler won this pot with K♦6♦ for two pair.

Kessler quickly realized the presence of PokerNews claiming "If you were here the whole hand I would have lost."

The pot had already swollen to approximately 17,000 with two players heading to a flop of 8♦2♣2♥.

Samuel Bekerian, in middle position, moved all in for his opponent's effective stack of 38,000. The player on the button made the call.

Button: Q♣Q♠ All in
Samuel Bekerian: A♠A♣

The 7♦ turn and K♦ river didn't materialize any of the button's outs and Bekerian sent them to the rail.

The pot stood at 6,800 with two players looking at a board of 5♦Q♦4♦6♦. Bill Klein, in middle position, checked the action to Angela Jordison, on the button, who checked back.

The 3♥ river saw Klein take the lead for 7,500. Jordison put in a raise to 20,700 and Klein made a frustrated call. Jordison tabled A♦9♦ for the flopped nut flush, while Klein mucked K♦10♦ face up having flopped the second nut flush.
