David Macisaac made it 2,500 from the cutoff before Norman Michalek three-bet to 12,500 out of the big blind. Macisaac made the call to see a flop.

Michalek continued with a down-bet of 7,000 on the QJ3 flop. Macisaac didn't take long to flick in the call.

The 9 appeared on the turn and Michalek jammed for around 39,000. This time, Macisaac instantly folded, surrendering the pot to Michalek.

Apartaglou Ascends With Aces

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

In a three-bet pot worth 25,300, Spyridon Apartoglou bet 8,000 from the small blind on the 54Q flop. Martin Sturc called in early position, and did so too when Apartoglou sized up to 21,000 on the 8 turn.

The 10 river saw Apartoglou pile in a bet of 48,000. Sturc spent some time in the tank before he decided to call off. Apartoglou tabled AA for the preflop nuts, and Sturc sent his cards into the muck.

Sweeney Coolers [Removed:549] for the Double

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

Ronan Sweeney from middle position got his entire 50,100 stack into the middle preflop, at risk against [Removed:548] from under the gun.

Ronan Sweeney: AA All in
[Removed:548]: QQ

It was a cooler scenario with over 100,000 in the middle as the 422 flop landed. Nothing changed on the 23 runout as Sweeney held on with the rockets to secure the full double.

Ivers Gets Value with Tens Full

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

Joseph Baghdalian kicked things off with 88 from middle position, raising to 2,600. Daniel Ivers called in the hijack holding 1010, and Andrew Fleming came along on the button with A2.

The A410 flop gave Ivers middle set, and Baghdalian led out for 2,400. Both opponents called, keeping the pot multiway.

The 4 on the turn paired the board and improved Ivers to a full house. Baghdalian checked, and Ivers bet 6,500. Fleming let go of his top pair, while Baghdalian took some time before check-raising to 16,000. Ivers made the call.

The 5 river changed nothing, and Baghdalian checked again. Ivers paused to count his stack, then fired 36,000. Baghdalian quickly folded, giving up the pot to Ivers and his well-disguised monster.

Conrad Improves to a Full House, Scores Double

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

After a check, Angelica Faircloth bet almost pot with 12,000 chips on a flop of 97Q and a pot of around 15,000. Her heads-up opponent, Christopher Conrad, jammed in response for around 41,500.

Faircloth went into deep thought. She set aside 41,500 from her chips for a call but continued to mull over the situation. Somewhat hesitantly she called.

Christopher Conrad: 77 All in
Angelica Faircloth: AA

Conrad had caught a set on the flop. Faircloth still had minimal outs but the 9 left her drawing dead as Conrad improved to a full house. The J was a formality.

Conrad scooped the pot for a double-up as Faircloth counted what she had behind.

Sullivan Steals on the Turn; Cates Flies into the Field

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

Daniel Clemente opened from the hijack to 2,700 and Ronald Sullivan called from the cutoff. Andres Morales raised on the button to 8,500 and only Sullivan called.

The 726 flop prompted Sullivan to check-call a 10,000 bet by Morales.

A 5 turn saw Sullivan take the pot after seeing Morales fold to his 15,000 bet.

In the next hand, Dan Cates limped the small blind and Christopher Fuchs checked the big blind.

Cates bet 1,200 on the Q4K flop and Fuchs folded quickly.

Louis Cabana: 66All in
Mario Vojvoda: AJ

Cabana's pocket sixes survived the runout of 89210K to keep him alive in the tournament.

Kochhar Doubles Through Depaulo

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

Raghav Kochhar opened to 2,500 first to act and found one caller in Ryan Depaulo, who was on the button.

The flop came Q6J and Kochhar continued for 2,000. Depaulo announced he was all-in and Kochhar snap called all in for 14,300 total.

Raghav Kochhar: KKAll in
Ryan Depaulo: 98

Kochhar was in great shape to double with his cowboys, but had a bit of a sweat after the 5 turn gave Depaulo a flush draw in addition to his gutshot straight draw.

However, the 4 river bricked out — leaving Kochhar's kings best for the double-up.

Safian Fails to Complete his Flush

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

After heads-up action was passed to him, Martin Gavasci shoved all in for around 46,000 on a board of 1043Q and a pot of around 16,000 chips. Manuel Safian, in the big blind, made the call, putting himself at risk.

Manuel Safian: Q7 All in
Martin Gavasci: AQ

Both Safian and Gavasci hit the queen on the turn, but Gavasci out kicked the big blind player. Safian, however, had additional outs for a flush draw, which he hoped to complete on the last street.

Unfortunately, the 4 river dropped, sending Safian to hit the rails.

Locquet Gets Sticky, Then Takes It Down

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

Romain Locquet opened from the hijack with 98 and faced a three-bet to 7,600 from Daniel Ivers in the cutoff. Locquet made the call and they went heads-up to the flop.

The 355 flop saw Locquet check, and Ivers continued for 3,500. Locquet called to see a turn.

When the 8 hit, both players checked it through.

The river brought the 4, and Locquet seized the moment with a bet of 14,000. Ivers didn’t look thrilled and eventually let it go, as Locquet scooped the pot with top pair.
