Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Matthew Zambanini and Bin Weng were heads-up in the blinds on a flop of Q♦6♣4♣. Zambanini led out with a bet of Weng raised to 4,400 which Zambanini called.

The turn brought the A♠ and Zambanini checked this time. Weng counted out a bet of 13,500 and Zambanini jammed all in for around 35,000. Weng quickly called and tabled his 6♠4♦ for two pair. Zambanini held 9♣3♣ for just a flush draw and the J♥ on the river was no help to him.

Sava Krink

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

With the pot standing at around 7,000 and the flop showing 7♣5♦J♣, the cards of George Tomescu in the small blind and David McGowan on the button were tabled for an all-in call.

George Tomescu: A♦K♣
David McGowan: J♦9♦

McGowan was ahead with a pair of jacks, and the 4♦ turn didn't change any of that. But the A♠ river gave Tomescu the top pair and allowed him to double up and scoop the pot, whilst McGowan was left with crumbs.

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

After a button raise, William Brindise re-raised to 3,000. Sebastian Toro made it 8,000 and was called by Brindise after the button folded.

On the 3♦ river, Brindise checked, and Toro went all-in for the 48,000 in his opponent's stack. After some deliberation, Brindise made the call and was shown Q♦J♦, which was good.

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Roeland Peeks raised to 800 from the cutoff and was called by the small blind and Lirui Zhang in the big blind. The flop came Q♥10♣5♠ and the action checked to Peeks who continued with a bet of 800. The small blind called and Zhang check-raised to 3,000. Peeks called and the small blind stepped aside.

The turn was the 6♣ and Zhang splashed in a bet of 8,200 this time. Peeks gave it some thought but decided to send his cards into the muck.

"Good dealer," Zhang said as he raked in the pot.

"Good player," the dealer replied, which got a laugh from the table.

"No, good dealer," Zhang confirmed.
