Level 14 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Nicholas Howard was heads-up on the button against the player in the cutoff on a board of 5♦5♥6♥8♥ with a large pot already brewing.

The cutoff checked to Howard, who bet 42,000. His opponent called.

The A♦ filled the river and it was again checked to Howard, who cut out a bet of 147,000 and placed it into the middle — sending his opponent deep into the tank.

The cutoff eventually opted to lay his hand down and Howard showed A♠5♠ for a full house before dragging the pot.

Caballero Put to the Test

Level 14 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Picking up the action on the river, Victor Caballero in middle position was involved in a hand with an opponent on the button.

With the board reading 10♣Q♣J♦6♦2♥ and around 100,000 in the pot, Caballero bet 33,000. The button player responded by moving all in with the covering stack. That sent Caballero deep into the tank as he considered calling off for his remaining 140,000. After several minutes, he did let his hand go to preserve his stack as the money bubble begins to loom on the horizon.

Ollie Garland

Level 14 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

A player in middle position limped in, the button raised to 16,000 and Vivian Saliba cold-called from the big blind. The limper also came along.

The 3♦4♣A♥ flop saw the action check to the button, who continued for 15,000. Saliba went into the tank before raising to 40,000. The original limper quickly folded.

The button thought for some time before surrendering the pot to Saliba without a showdown.

Level 14 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Tavish Margers opened the action with a raise to 10,000 from the button. James Cihla moved all in from the big blind, covering Margers. After some thought, Margers was willing to go with his hand and stuck in a chip for a call.

Tavish Margers: A♦10♣ All in
James Cihla: A♣J♥

Needing to find a ten, the board ran out 4♠A♠Q♠5♣8♥ and Margers was eliminated.
