Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante

Michael Mizrachi raised to 8,000 from the hijack and only Christoph Milbradt called from the big blind.

Milbradt check-called a bet of 5,000 from Mizrachi on the Q♠8♥10♣ flop.

Both players were happy to check down the K♥ turn and 6♣ river. Milbradt announced "tens", and Mizrachi turned over K♠K♦7♥6♠ for a set to win the pot.

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Catching the action on the turn with the board showing K♣9♠Q♥J♣ and with over 70,000 in the middle.

Alexis Adda was in the small blind and opted to jam his stack of 31,500 into the middle. Maxx Coleman, who was seated in the hijack, went into the tank. After thinking for quite some time, Coleman opted to fold his hand and surrender the pot to Adda.

Tim Baker

Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Catching the action on a flop of 3♠8♠5♦. After some betting and raising, Sebastiaan Helderman and Jordan Spurlin got all of their chips into the middle, with Helderman being the player at risk.

Sebastiaan Helderman: A♠10♠7♦3♦ All in
Jordan Spurlin: 8♦6♥6♠4♠

Both players had flush draws, but Helderman had the bigger one. The Q♠ came on the turn to give Helderman the nuts and leave Spurlin drawing dead. The inconsequential 4♥ appeared on the river, and Helderman doubled up.
