Blinds: 1,000-2,000

Natasha Hastoo was all in from the big blind as four opponents went to a flop of 5♦4♦5♠. William Hay then bet from the hijack and Christopher Nguyen called in the cutoff. Michael Shanahan also called on the button, as did Matthew Kursar in middle position.

The turn was the 8♣ and Hay bet again. Only Shanahan called this time to see the 8♥ river, where Hay bet once more. Shanahan again called.

Hay showed A♣9♣8♠2♦ for trips and a low as Shanahan mucked 10♣6♦3♣2♣. Hastoo also sent A♦Q♥J♥6♣ into the muck as Hay scooped the pot, sending Hastoo to the rail.

Level 10 : Limits 1,500/3,000, 0 ante

Blinds: 1,000-1,500
Limits: 1,500-3,000

William Eichel raised in middle position and Leo Pinamonti called in the small blind. David Arganian then reraised in the big blind and only Eichel called.

The flop came K♦7♣4♣ and Arganian continued with a bet. Eichel called to the J♣ turn, where Arganian bet again. Eichel then came back with a raise.

The dealer prematurely went to turn over the river card, but another player at the table said he saw the card before it was exposed. The floor was called over and the 6♥ was eventually shown before Arganian could act.

He ended up calling and the exposed river was shuffled back into the deck. The 6♠ was then turned over on the river and Eichel bet again. Arganian called.

"I have a flush. Oh, you have a flush too," Arganian said after Eichel showed his A♠A♣5♣4♠, scooping the pot with his nut flush and low.

Michael Moncek is also seated at this table.
