Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

William Leunis checked from under the gun with the board showing Q♣A♦7♦8♣ and Miltiadis Kyriakides bet 18,000 from the cutoff. Leunis didn't take long to make the call with just 35,000 behind.

Leunis checked for the last time upon seeing the 6♦ river, and Kyriakides immediately bet enough to put Leunis all in. Leunis snap-folded and Kyriakides asked: "What did you have?", Leunis responded by asking Kyriakides the same thing "What did you have?". Kyriakides didn't reply. Instead, he just added the chips to his stack.

Stewart Morrison

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Joshua Hillock raised to 5,000 from the hijack, and only Katherine Porrello called, defending her big blind.

The dealer spread a 6♥8♣A♦ flop, and Hillcock continued for 3,500, which Porrello check-called.

Porrello checked for a second time on the 10♦ turn, and Hillcock turned up the heat with a bet of 15,500. Undeterred, Porrello called again.

The dealer then burned and turned the K♦ river, and when checked to for a third time, Hillcock took one look back at his cards before checking back.

Hillcock tabled Q♥9♥ for queen-high, and Porrell showed she could beat that with her 10♠7♣ for one pair.

Player	Chips	Progress
Joshua Hillock	222,000 26,500	26,500

Queens Hold for Goldman

Sava Krink

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Kenneth Hicks got the action rolling from the hijack, but Noah Goldman wasn’t letting him get away that easily. Goldman put in a three-bet to 14,500 from the cutoff, only for Hicks to ramp up the pressure with a four-bet to 40,000. Goldman took a moment, then made the call to take a flop.

The K♣7♠K♦ flop didn’t inspire much confidence from either player, and both opted to check it down.

The passive line continued through the 10♠ turn and 9♣ river, sending the hand straight to showdown.

Goldman tabled Q♣Q♦, good for kings and queens, and that was more than enough to take it down as Hicks mucked his cards.

Player	Chips	Progress
Noah Goldman	276,000 39,000	39,000

With the 9♥6♥5♥ flop going check, check, Brek Schutten in the big blind led the 5♦ turn for 7,000. Ezell grabbed his cards already and was on the verge of tossing them to the muck. He then changed his mind, grabbed into the stack and raised for almost his entire remaining stack.

Schutten smirked and clapped his hands for the cinematic performance.

Brett Slezak

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Jonah Silverstein opened to 6,000 from early position and was called by Robbi Jade Lew in middle position, Mihai Niste on the button, and Justin Pechie in the big blind.

Both the 10♥6♦5♠ flop and the 2♠ turn checked all the way through.

On the K♣ river, Pechie checked to Silverstein who overbet the pot with a 30,000 sizing. It quickly folded back to Pechie who responded with check-raise to 90,000, and Silverstein laid it down after a small tank.
