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

Brian Batt raised to 3,000 under the gun and Erick Lindgren made it 5,000 to go on the button. Stephen Chidwick then reraised to 18,500 in the big blind, prompting Batt to get out of the way and Lindgren to call.

The flop came 8♣9♦7♣ and both players checked to the 5♥ turn. Chidwick led out for 10,500 and Lindgren called.

On the J♥ river, Chidwick slowed down with a check and Lindgren bet 35,000. Chidwick thought for a brief moment before tossing his cards into the muck.

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

Ben Lamb raised to 3,500 from the cutoff, Tong Li called on the button and Gruffudd Pugh-Jones called in the big blind.

The board ran out 2♠2♣A♣3♠Q♦ with all players checking down to the river.

Li bet 7,500, only to face a raise to 29,500 from Pugh-Jones. Lamb folded, and Li responded with a re-raise to 90,000. Pugh-Jones snap-called, but could only muck as Li revealed J♦A♥A♦5♦ for a slow-played full house, having flopped aces full of deuces.
