On the turn 9♦, Gerhart checked over to Rabah who bet 4,500 and Gerhart called.

Gerhart checked the river 9♥ and Rabah jammed for 15,400 effective to see Gerhart call.

Kevin Rines and Greg Jensen were just two of the five players that went to a 3♠9♣Q♣ flop, in a five-way limped pot.

Action checked to Rines, who put out a bet of 1,200, before being met by a check-raise from Jenson in the small blind, who made it 5,000. Rines called, and the two players took a turn.

Jensen continued his aggression on the 10♦ turn, wagering 7,000, but was abruptly met with a raise by Rines to 20,000.

After taking some time to consider his options and engage in a little conversation with his tablemate, Jensen elected to fold.

"I will show if you show," Rines told Jensen, who promptly turned over 9♥3♥. True to his word, Rines revealed that he had turned the nut straight with his K♣J♥.

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Action was picked up in a three-way pot between Scott Stewart in late position, Pierre Calamusa on the button, and Joshua Remitio in the big blind.

With 4,000 in the middle, the flop read 6♠K♦Q♣ and Remitio checked over to Stewart who bet 1,800. Calamusa responded by raising to 5,000 and only Stewart continued in the hand.

Both players checked the turn J♥ to the river 9♥ and Stewart checked over to Calamusa who bet 20,000. The eight-time WSOPC ring winner went into the tank as he debated what to do for the majority of his stack. After roughly sixty seconds in the tank, he called.

Calamusa tapped the table as he showed 5♥4♦ for just five-high, with Stewart tabling K♥Q♦ for kings up which was good for the pot.

Jay Lu started the action by raising to 1,200 before the player immediately to his left three-bet to 3,000. Scott Blumstein then four-bet to 9,300, and action folded back to Lu.

After making some enquiries about the entirety of Blumstein's stack, Lu opted to five-bet all-in for 62,700. The three-bettor got out of the way, and after some deliberation, Blumstein elected to fold too.
