Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

The player on the button raised to 600 and was called by the small blind and Maxx Coleman in the big blind.

Action checked through on the Q♣8♠10♠ flop and then the small blind led out for 1,000 on the J♣ turn. Only Coleman called.

The 5♣ completed the board and it was checked to Coleman, who fired 5,000 into the middle. His opponent tanked for some time, but eventually flicked his hand into the muck to award Coleman the pot.

Level 1 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

Three players saw the turn on a board of 10♥2♠4♠6♦ with around 4,500 in the pot when Yunsheng Sun bet 3,500 from middle position.

Bin Weng gave it some thought before folding in the cutoff, but a player on the button then raised to 7,000. Sun quickly called.

The river was the 3♣ and Sun checked. The button paused for a moment before checking back as Sun showed K♣10♣ for top pair to take the pot.
