Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Heads-up on a flop of 8♠6♦Q♦, Santiago Trujillo bet 5,000 from early position and Robert Douras called in the hijack.

The turn was the 10♣ and Trujillo bet another 12,200. Douras called and the J♦ fell on the river.

Trujillo then checked over to Douras who bet enough to put Trujillo all in for his last 40,000. Trujillo took a minute before tapping the felt and tossing K♠K♦ into the muck.

Mccabe Mayo was in late position and just called preflop. Christopher Dombrowski raised to 2,500 in the hijack, and Michael Gathy and Daniel Jesudason called in the blinds.

Mayo also called to the 5♦A♦2♠ flop, which checked through. It checked to Mayo again on the 5♠ turn, prompting him to bet 4,000. Dombrowski called, while Gathy and Jesudason mucked their hands.

The 8♦ river was checked to showdown, where Mayo's A♠9♠ raked in the pot.

Maxime Taldir

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

The action was picked up when Andre Akkari in the cutoff was dragging the pot towards him after he doubled up on 5♥10♣9♦6♠9♣ against Dakota Baggett in early position.

Andre Akkari: 10♥10♦ All in
Dakota Baggett: 8♠7♠

Baggett hit a straight but lost to Akkari's full house which allowed the Brazilian player to double his stack and reach 86,000.

Petrov Flushes Waxman Out

Dan O'Hair

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Heads-up on a flop of 6♦3♦9♥ with a bit over 10,000 already in the middle, Mikhail Petrov checked from under the gun to Matt Waxman, who bet 5,000 on the button. Petrov responded with a check-raise to 10,700 and Waxman paused before clicking it back to 16,000 and change.

Petrov shoved and Waxman called all in for less to put himself at risk.

Matt Waxman: A♣A♠ All in
Mikhail Petrov: A♦Q♦

Waxman had the best of it with his aces, but the 4♦ turn immediately completed Petrov's flush draw and left Waxman drawing dead.

An irrelevant Q♠ river made Waxman's elimination official and Petrov grew his stack to 230,000.

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Arriving on a 3♥3♠9♠ flop, Ana Marquez fired 2,000 from middle position, and was called by her neighbor Amir Sahebdivani, as well as Jiyang Gan in the cutoff.

Marquez sized up to 6,000 on the 7♠ turn. This time, only Sahebdivani called, as Gan got out of the way. Marquez slowed down on the J♥ river, checking it over to her opponent.

Sahedivani slid in a sizable bet of 17,300, which Marquez reluctantly called after some thought. Sahebdivani announced a flush and tabled Q♠10♠. Marquez showed a lower flush with 6♠5♠ before she paid Sahebdivani his chips.

Amir Sahebdivani	113,000
Jiyang Gan	80,000

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Jean-Patrick Delorme raised to 1,500 in middle position and Jacob Perry called on the button. Nelson Dong then moved all in for 13,600 in the small blind and Delorme called, while Perry got out of the way.

Nelson Dong: A♥A♣ All in
Jean-Patrick Delorme: 9♣9♥

Dong took out his phone and began filming even before turning over his aces. The board ran out 3♦8♠8♣5♣K♣ and he held on to earn the double up.
