Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Three players headed to a turn with a pot worth roughly 23,000 in the middle, and the flop action complete on the 544 board.

When the river came the 10, Heaton applied the maximum pressure possible. Covering his opponent's stack, he moved all in, a bet worth an effective 47,300.

Beecher then spent some time in the tank, piecing together the action. Ultimately, he decided a fold was in order and tossed his cards towards the muck.

In the next hand, Ilan Boujenah raised to 2,400 and received multiple callers including Gorham in the big blind. The J75 flop saw Dimitrios Kilintaris bet 3,500 and Brian Andrews called. Gorham check-raised to 16,000 and Boujenah folded while the other two players called.
