Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Simon Britton raised to 1,200 in middle position before Yoon Shin three-bet to 3,200 in the hijack. Brent Jenkins four-bet to 11,000 on the button.

"You get no respect," a tablemate said to Britton.

"I've gotten lots of respect today, except here," Britton replied.

Action then went on Eben Kurtzman who moved all in for 68,000 in the small blind. "This is the table to be. Too much blood. This is a fun table. Do you enjoy this table?" Ruben Correia said to tablemate Michael Mizrachi, who simply smiled and shrugged.

Action folded back to Shin who tanked for a minute before folding. Jenkins also folded and Kurtzman showed K♠K♣ as he took the pot.
