Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

There were roughly 75,000 chips in the pot on a flop of 7♣7♦5♠. Norberto Korn checked from early position to Jim Collopy who was on the button and he fired a bet for 25,000 when the 3♣ hit the turn, Korn called.

Action slowed down when the A♥ hit the river and action went check-check. Korn quickly tabled A♣K♠. Collopy was visibly frustrated as he shook his head, threw his arms in the air and then mucked.

Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

There were approximately 60,000 in the pot on a flop of J♦5♦7♥ when both Edward Pak in the big blind and Joey Weissman in early position checked to see the turn bring the 2♠.

Both players checked again and the river brought the K♣.

Pak checked and Weissman bet out for 55,000. Pak tanked for a while and then flipped in the call.

Weissman tabled A♥K♥ for a rivered top pair and Pak mucked instantly, looking disgusted.

Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

There were roughly 85,000 chips in the pot on a board of 6♦7♦4♠ and Ryan Plant from under the gun bet 24,000 when the J♠ hit the turn. He was quickly raised by Sam Soverel on the button to 75,000. Plant called.

Both players checked when the 9♠ fell on the river and Plant showed his hand by mistake as he tabled 8♣8♠ but could not beat Soverel's K♦K♣.
