Level 37 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 0 ante

Harvey Castro opened to 15,000 on the button and Aliaksei Boika just called from the big blind. The flop fell 7♠7♦2♥ and Boika check-called a bet of 8,000 from Castro.

The turn brought the 6♦ and Boika checked again. Castro sized up a bet of 60,000 this time and Boika still called. The river was the 8♠ and Boika checked for the third time. Castro reached for some chips but then used a time bank before checking back.

Thankfully, he did as Boika turned over 7♥7♣ for quads to claim the pot.

Artur Martirosian began the hand with a raise to 15,000 and was called by Chance Kornuth.

Kornuth checked to Martirosian on the 5♦A♥4♣ flop. Martirosian slid out 10,000 which was called by Kornuth.

The A♣ turn led to a check from Kornuth leading to a bet of 65,000 from Martirosian. Kornuth once again called to head to the river.

The A♠ river froze the action as both players checked.

Kornuth showed Q♣2♣ for queen high, but Martirosian flipped over 4♠4♥ for a full house to take the pot.

Level 34 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 0 ante

David Chen raised to 50,000 on the button and Richard Green defended from the big blind. The flop fell 10♥8♦2♦ and Green check-called a bet of 25,000 from Chen.

The turn brought the 6♠ and Green checked again. Chen fired out another bet of 100,000 and Green stuck around for the 4♠ river. Green checked and Chen moved all in for around 300,000. Green went into the tank, using three of his time banks, before eventually laying his hand down.
