Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Linglin Zeng opened to 12,000 from under the gun and Chad Power defended his big blind.

The A♦8♠5♦ flop checked through to the 4♣ turn which saw Power quickly lead for 25,000 and Zeng called.

On the 10♠ river, Power tossed out a bet of 100,000 approximately one second after the final card touched the felt. Zeng would go into a small tank before she elected to fold, as Power showed 3♥2♥ for the turned wheel as he was unable to get paid on the river but still holds a monster stack.

Chad Power	1,400,000 168,000	168,000

Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

With a pot of around 40,000 to the J♠9♣8♥ flop, Rehman Kassam checked and Linglin Zeng bet 11,000. Kassam then check-raised to 40,000 and Zeng gave it some thought before moving all-in to receive a quick call.

Linglin Zeng: Q♠10♣ All in
Rehman Kassam: 9♦8♦

The 7♣ turn and 5♦ river changed nothing and a relieved Zeng said "you scared me" after winning this duel of massage recipients.

Sava Krink

Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Brian Nerney opened the action from under the gun and was met with a three-bet to 38,000 from Alex Bergfors in the hijack. Action folded to Tim Duckworth in the big blind, who moved all in for his last 88,000.

Nerney tanked for a bit before making the fold. Bergfors asked for a count, and once the dealer confirmed the amount, he called, sending the cards to showdown.

Tim Duckworth: A♥K♣ All in
Alex Bergfors: 8♠8♥

Duckworth wasted no time getting ahead as the flop came J♥K♥5♦, giving him top pair, top kicker. The 10♠ turn changed nothing, and the Q♥ river gave him a straight, just to make it official, locking up the full double.

Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

The action was relayed by Donnie Peters for what happened to be a five-bet pot on his table.

[Removed:548] raised to 12,000 and Jamie O'Connor three-bet to 32,000. It then got to James Osullivan who four-bet to 80,000 in order to get rid of [Removed:549]. O'Connor five-bet to 175,000 and Osullivan called.

On the 9♠6♣5♣ for, O'Connor jammed for 320,000 and that sent his opponent into the tank. Both chatted back and forth, with Osullivan even asking if there was a penalty if he showed his cards.

[Removed:549] then told Osullivan he was gonna give him one more minute before calling the clock. Osullivan took things into the own hands and called the clock on himself. The floor arrived and when she was told that Osullivan had called the clock, he was given only ten seconds to act before the hand was dead.

O'Connor flipped his A♠A♥ over before collecting the pot while Osullivan mentioned he had folded the ace-high flush draw.

Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Timothy Totten was all in for his final 20,000 preflop from the button, at risk against John Pointer in middle position.

Timothy Totten: A♥Q♦ All in
John Pointer: 6♠6♥

Things were looking grim for Totten on the J♦10♠6♣ flop as Pointer flopped bottom set. However, the K♥ landed on the turn to give Totten broadway. He still needed to fade the board pair, which he was able to do on the 4♥ river as he collected the full double to survive.
