Frank Visser

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

Martin Schutzbank raised to 700 under the gun. Gary Dishongh called in the cutoff, Jason Tiffin did so on the button, and Bruno Fitoussi defended his big blind.

It checked to Tiffin on the 4♠Q♥5♠ flop. He bet 1,700, which Fitoussi and Schutzbank called. Dishongh folded before the 6♠ hit the turn, and the action once again checked to Tiffin.

Tiffin fired 2,100. Fitoussi stuck around and called, while Schutzbank decided to give up. The 5♥ river was checked to showdown, where Fitoussi's 9♠9♣ was good enough to win the pot.

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

Gunn check-called a 4,300 bet from Harding on the 7♣ turn and checked a final time on the 10♠ river, prompting a 9,600 bet from Harding.

"I did," Harding said as he revealed 7♥7♦.

David Wintersberger raised to 800 in the hijack, and Sergii Ulitskyi responded with a three-bet to 2,400 on the button. Zack Marshak cold-called from the big blind, and Wintersberger completed the preflop action by calling.

With about 8,000 in the pot, hijack Paul Richardson checked the Q♥9♣4♥2♥ turn over to Franklin Yao. Yao bet 4,500, which Richardson called after some debate.

Richardson also checked the 6♠ river, after which Yao flicked in a single T-25,000 chips for an over-bet.

Richardson took a few minutes to puzzle the hand together, eventually tossing in a call.

"Good call," Yao said as he showed 8♣5♣ for pure air. Richardson had called with 9♠7♠, second pair, and he raked in the pot as he neared a six-figure stack.

Stefan Jahn opened from middle position, but Yibo Song in the cutoff three-bet to 3,000. The button and the blinds folded to Jahn who four-bet to 8,700.

Song went into the tank and five-bet to 19,000, so the decision was now on Jahn who didn't seem happy about this raise. After a minute, he eventually moved all-in for 54,500.

Song folded pretty quickly and Jahn breathed a sigh of relief while dragging the pot towards him.
