Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Matthew Lambrecht opened to 4,000 from the cutoff and received calls from Nacho Barbero on the button and Chino Rheem in the big blind.

The flop came A♣8♠2♦ and the action checked around to Lambrecht who bet 4,000. Only Barbero called.

Lambrecht continued for 11,000 when checked to on the J♣ turn and this time it was enough to get a fold from Barbero.

Level 12 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Yuzhu Wang called the blind in the under the gun position. The action folded around to Uri Reichenstein who raised to 6,000 and Wang made the call.

The flop came 4♠4♣9♦ Reichenstein checked. Wang bet 5,500 and Reichenstein called.

A turn card brought a Q♠ and both players checked their option.

On fifth street an 8♠ popped up and so did a bet from Reichenstein for 3,000. Wang went into the tank. After a couple minutes Wang flicked in the call and showed 2♦2♠. Wang flinged his cards into the muck as Reichenstein's small pair was sufficent to win the pot.

Jacob Wilson

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Kane Kalas found himself all in preflop, with two callers: Jon Vallinas and Daniel Vargas. Kalas was in with a chance of tripling up, by taking down the main pot of 21,000. Vargas and Vallinas also had a side pot worth 15,000.

The final board read 7♥10♥K♥J♠4♠ as action had checked all the way to the river. Before all the cards were on their backs, Kalas had shown K♣J♣ and started scooping the main pot, knowing he was good. Vargas' A♣4♣ lost out in the side pot to Vallinas' A♦10♦.
