Level 30 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Nicholas Funaro raised to 400,000 from the button, and Michael Conoran called from the big blind.

The dealer revealed a 7♣6♥8♠ flop. Conoran checked, Funaro bet 350,000, and Conoran made the call.

The turn brought the 7♠. Conoran checked again, and this time, Funaro bet 500,000, which Conoran called.

The river was the 5♠. Conoran checked for a third time, and Funaro fired a third barrel to the tune of 1,500,000. Conoran quickly called but was shown 10♦9♣, good for a straight and a nice pot for Funaro.

The action was joined with all the money in the middle in a pre-flop raising war between Michael Rossitto and Santiago Montes.

Michael Rossitto: 7♥7♣ All in
Santiago Montes: J♠J♥

A lovely door card for Montes with a jack coming on the J♣3♠10♦ flop and when the A♠ fell on the turn, Rossitto was drawing dead. The river was the irrelevant 2♠ and Rossitto was sent to the rail.

Level 30 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Maxx Holland opened for 400,000 on the button and got a three-bet to 1,175,000 from Jules Rohr in the small blind. Holland replied with a four-bet to 2,500,000 making Rohr think about his options. He finally called to see a flop.

Rohr checked the flop of 3♠A♥5♥. Holland, unmoving, took his time before announcing all-in for 7,550,000. Rohr went into the tank, really thinking about what his action will be. After some time, he decided to concede his hand and the pot to Holland.

Victorious, Holland scooped the pot and threw his hand face up to show K♥10♥. Rohr just looked on with absolutely no reaction.
