Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

As the flop read J♣6♥6♣ Asher Neaman bet 15,000 into a pot of 18,000. In this heads-up pot, Justin Liberto shoved for 61,000. Liberto had to wait a long time to find out his fate, as his bet sent Neaman deep into the tank. After a couple minutes, he lifted his hand to his head as he announced “s***”.

Brock Wilson, who was not in the hand, called clock on Liberto, and the floor let him know he had 30 seconds to act. He picked up a handful of chips during the final five second countdown, however did not place them into the pot in time, and his hand was rendered dead.

Labat Doesn't Get to Showdown

Level 9 : Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

The board read 3♦8♥2♠2♦ when Antoine Labat bet 20,000 into a heads-up pot of 25,000. He was swiftly called by Gabriel Gutierrez.

The dealer put out the 7♣ on the river, and Gutierrez stared Labat down. Labat quickly announced a one-eleventh pot bet of 6,000, to which Gutierrez raised his arm in frustration and surprise, seemingly at the small size of the river bet. As if to stick it to the small bet, he promptly chucked two light green 25,000 denomination chips into the middle, alongside four red 5,000 chips, enough to put Labat all in.

Labat pulled out all the moves as he touched his chips, counted them out, and then started touching his cards. Eventually, he let them go, and announced “well played” in French to Gutierrez, who responded by flipping over the 8♦ as a few players from the table announced “eight is good”, and debated on whether he hit a better two pair on the river, with eight-seven. Gutierrez didn’t settle said debate.

Out of the Blue and Into the Black

Level 9 : Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Taylor Black opened in early position before Mitchell Halverson three-bet to 11,000 from the next seat.

Jacob Kauffman cold-called in the cutoff and Black four-bet jammed for around 110,000. Halverson five-bet re-shoved and Kauffman got out of the way.

Taylor Black: A♥K♠ All in
Mitchell Halverson: A♠K♥

Both players had ace-king and Kauffman was kicking himself for folding a pair as the board landed 6♠6♥3♠. However, his attitude changed as the board finished out 2♠7♠ to give Halverson the nut flush to eliminate Black.

"Good fold!" someone at the table said.

Do-Over on Flop

Nick Vazquez

Level 9 : Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Mikhail Zavoloka raised to 3200 in middle position. Qiang Xu raised to 8,500 from the button. Zavoloka decided to peel and the two went off to a flop.

The dealer dealt out the flop, which originally contained four cards. The floor came over, and instructed the dealer to shuffle just those four cards and deal the flop again. The new flop was the K♥K♦Q♣. Zavoloka had already checked on the flop that had four cards, and checked again. Xu bet 5500, and Zavoloka called.

The turn was the 10♣. Zavoloka checked, and Xu asked for 20,500 this time. Zavoloka folded and Xu won the pot after somewhat strange circumstances on the flop.
