Frank Kassela raised to 5,000 in the hijack and Patrick Leonard called on the button, as did big blind Alex Epstein.

Epstein took two while Kassela and Leonard drew one. Action then checked to Leonard who bet 15,000.

"Serious bet," Leonard said as Epstein folded.

"That is a big, serious bet," Kassela replied, tossing in the chips to call. Leonard then showed 9x8x6x5x2x.

"I'm making sure there are no pairs there. You have a lot of cards that look alike," Kassela said before mucking.

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 3,500 ante

Jon Shoreman three-bet to 24,000 in the small blind and Kyle Miholich moved all in from the cutoff. Shoreman tanked for a minute but eventually called for his last 100,000.

Shoreman stood pat with 10x8x7x6x2x. "Alright, good luck me," Miholich said, turning over 7x4x3x2x and drawing one.

"What do I need? A ten or better and not a pair," Miholich added as he began filming the action with his phone and peeling his last card. He turned over the 8x to make an 8-7 and Shoreman quickly departed the room.

"Let's go, baby," Miholich shouted out as he took in the big pot.
