Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Allen Janian opened to 1,000 on the button and found a call from Anthony Hu in the big blind.

Both players declined to bet the 7♦5♠Q♣ flop, with Hu checking again after the 4♣ turn hit the felt. Janian fired a bet of 1,000 and Hu made the call.

The 6♠ river saw Hu take some time before leading out for 2,300. That was enough to claim the pot, as Janian slid his cards to the dealer.

Cole Uvila opened to 900 in the hijack, with Natalie Ferguson calling in the small blind and Jess Ravich defending his big blind.
