Level 3 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

On a heads-up completed board of 2♦6♠9♠4♠8♣, a player led for 6,000 but then Gaurav Sood moved all in to cover him. After some thought, the player shrugged, made the call to put himself at risk, and tabled 10♠3♠ for a turned flush. Unfortunately for him, Sood rolled over A♠K♠ for the nut flush to take the pot, eliminating his opponent.

The very next hand, Sood opened to 500 and was called by the big blind to see the flop of 9♦6♠4♥. The small blind then led for 1,300 and Sood just called to see the 7♥ appear on the turn. The big blind checked, Sood bet 3,000, and the small blind quickly called.

On the river 8♦, both players got it all in, with Sood covering.

Big blind: 4♥5♦ All in
Gaurav Sood: 9♣10♦

Both players had made a straight on the river, but Sood's was superior to claim the pot, and he once again eliminated his opponent.
