Nick Becker

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Action picked up on the turn in a hand between the player in the big blind, the player in the hijack, and Horatio Kemeny in the cutoff.

With the board reading 5♠7♠6♠5♣, the big blind led out for 8,000, the player in the hijack called, and Kemeny moved all in for 56,500. The big blind folded and the hijack called for less, putting himself at risk.

Hijack: A♦A♠ All in
Horatio Kemeny: Q♠J♠

The river was a brick and Kemeny's flopped flush awarded him the sizable pot.

Teusl Survives

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Down to 5,500, Jessica Teusl shoved from under the gun with A♦4♦ but everybody folded.

On the next hand, a player in middle position opened but she seemed to have no other solution than to fold her big blind. She folded as well on the next two hands, and eventually moved all-in for 5,500 again when she found herself in the cutoff. She faced the small blind.

Jessica Teusl: A♠2♣ All in
Small blind: K♣4♣

On a board of 3♥9♠4♥9♥6♥, Teusl's ace-high held and she doubled up.

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

There was a raise to 4,500 under the gun. Alex Foxen called from the small blind and the big blind came along with a call as well.

The initial raiser put out a continuation-bet of 5,500 when checked to on the K♥7♦10♣ flop and only Foxen made the call.

The Q♠ on the turn saw Foxen check-call a bet of 15,000 from his opponent.

The 9♠ on the river got checked through and Foxen took down the pot with K♦9♦ for two pair.

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Shimizu Nozomu raised to 4,500 from early position. He was three-bet to 14,500 from the small blind. After the big blind folded, Nozomu four bet shoved to put his opponent all-in. The small blind called for his last 20,000 and the cards were revealed.

Small blind: A♣J♣ All in
Shimizu Nozomu: 8♠8♣

The board ran out 10♥7♥Q♣Q♠10♣ and Nozomu's pocket eights had been counterfeited by his opponent.

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Action picked up on the turn in a hand between Drew O'Connell in the big blind and the player on the button.

With about 33,000 in the pot and the board reading 8♣10♦8♠9♠, O'Connell led out with a bet of 25,000 and the button called.

On the Q♣ river, O'Connell bet enough to put the button all in, who had roughly 56,000 behind. After some contemplating, the button mucked his hand and the pot was pushed O'Connell's way.
