Level 12 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Action was picked up with a middle position player all in and at risk for 39,000, he was called by David Mcgowan in the cutoff. The small blind then went all in for 74,000 and Mcgowan made the call.

Late Position Player: 8♥9♦ All in
Small Blind: A♠K♠ All in
David Mcgowan: A♣A♦

The flop came J♠9♣8♣ quickly changing who was in the lead, but the miracle A♥ fell on the turn. The dealer placed a meaningless 10♦ on the river securing the win for Mcgowan.

Level 12 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Action was caught on the river in a hand between Daniel Strelitz, who was under the gun and the player in middle position.

With about 36,000 in the pot and the board reading 5♠8♦J♣K♠4♣, Strelitz threw out two 25,000 chips, enough to put his opponent all in, who had 32,000 behind.

After some contemplating, middle position gave up his hand and the pot was pushed to Strelitz.

Small blind: K♦Q♠ All in
Namhyung Kim: A♥K♠ All in

Nick Becker

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

With about 40,000 in the middle on a board of 3♦3♣8♥2♠, Chris Hunichen, who was in the cutoff, moved all in for 27,000, putting himself at risk.

His opponent made the fold and Hunichen pulled in the pot to chip up. Hunichen has had a swingy start to the day, but still sits above starting stack.
