Xizhe Yuan found himself all in and at risk against the dominating hand of Renta Krisgatos, with a $600 pay jump looming after one more bustout.

Xizhe Yuan: A♠4♠ All in
Renta Krisgatos: A♦J♠

Yuan was calling for a couple more spades on the 8♦3♦7♠ flop, but the deck had other ideas by giving him what he needed with just one card. He secured the pay jump with the 4♣7♥ runout.

Level 26 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Timothy Joyner really wanted to see what Jacob Marlman thought was a good enough hand for the latter to risk his last 1,300,000 chips on with the board reading J♠K♥5♦8♣9♣.

Joyner studied the board for a long time, before choosing to fold.

"Really want to see one card," he said.

"Like to see one card? How much will you pay me out of your pocket?" Marlman asked, as he dragged the pot.

Level 26 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Edward Flattery found himself forced all in from the big blind, with exactly 60,000 in his stack. James Casement then opened up the action with a raise to 120,000 from middle position. Damian Grant defended his big blind.

The flop 3♦6♦4♦ checked through, leaving the dealer to put out the 3♠ turn. Here, Casement bet out for 50,000. Damian Grant reminded him that the minimum bet was 60,000, and laughed while saying "It doesn't matter, I fold."

Edward Flattery: 9♥2♠ All in
James Casement: A♦10♦

"I have outs!" joked Flattery, having run into the flopped nuts of Casement. The K♦ on the river was not one of them.

Roxanne Johnson

Level 27 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Action was picked up on the flop of 2♣2♦J♣, and Tanner Martinelli was under-the-gun and checked to Ryan Pringle, who was on the button, and placed a bet of 50,000 into the pot of about 325,000. Martinelli made the call.

Both players checked the turn 6♥.

On the river 3♣, Martinelli took a stab and bet out 175,000 and received a call from Pringle.

Martinelli tabled 10♠10♣ for two pair, and Pringle mucked.
