Level 10 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Philip Wiszowaty limped in the hijack, David Peters completed in the small blind and Ben Lamb checked in the big blind.

The flop came 10♣8♠5♠, Peters and Lamb checked, Wiszowaty bet 20,000, Peters folded, and Lamb called.

The turn landed the 8♦ and action went check-check to the Q♥ river. Lamb check-raised to 220,000 over Wiszowaty's bet of 50,000 and Wiszowaty thought for a moment before flicking in the call.

Lamb turned over Q♦8♥ for a full house, eights full of queens, and Wiszowaty mucked his hand.

Level 10 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

With over 100,000 in the middle, action went four-ways to the turn with the board reading 9♦K♥Q♦6♠.

Both the players in the blinds checked, Scott Seiver, who was under the gun, bet 70,000 and Brandon Wittmeyer, who was in early position, made the call. Both players in the blinds got out of the way.

On the J♥ river, Seiver bet 12,000 and after a moment of thought, Wittmeyer moved all in, putting Seiver at risk.

Seiver thought through his decision, ultimately giving up his hand.

Brandon Wittmeyer	475,000 475,000	475,000
