Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Matthew Beinner raised and then faced the short-stacked all-in of Anatoly Nikitin for 18,100 total. They engaged in some table chat during which Beinner said he may not have a choice.

"I can't really say anything but I would prefer if you didn't gamble," Nikitin replied. A couple seconds later, Beinner called.

Anatoly Nikitin: 7♣7♠ All in
Matthew Beinner: A♥Q♣

The A♠10♦3♠Q♠K♦ board improved Beinner who then dodged spades and sevens to knock out Nikitin.

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

The action was joined with roughly 13,000 in the pot and two players looking at a 6♦5♠10♦ flop.

Eric Ethans, playing from early position, placed a bet of 6,000, and Connor Rash called in position.

The turn brought the 7♣, and Ethans slowed down, choosing to check-call a bet of 15,000 from Rash.

Content with the size of the pot, both players checked the 2♦ river. Ethans flipped over J♣10♣, but was promptly informed he was out-kicked, as Rash had A♠10♥.
