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

Action was picked up on the flop in a three-way pot between Michael Miravi in the big blind, Antoine Berruel in first position, and Esther Taylor in early position.

The flop rolled out 6♠J♦K♠ and Miravi checked over to Berruel who bet 16,000 and both Miravi and Taylor called.

On the turn A♠, everyone checked over to Taylor who bet 40,000 and only Berruel called.

Both players checked the J♠ river and Berruel turned over A♦Q♥ for aces and jacks. That was no good against Taylor's A♣K♣ for aces and kings and she added a significant sum to her stack.

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

The action was joined as Raad Farida had three-bet shoved for 78,000 over the raise of Cesar Dominguez.

Dominguez made the call when action folded back around to him, and the players flipped their cards over.

Raad Farida: Q♦Q♥ All in
Cesar Dominguez: A♦J♠

Dominguez flopped some extra outs when the dealer turned over 2♣4♦3♦.

There was no further help on the 6♥ turn or 2♥ river, though, and Farida was given a full double-up.

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

With 74,000 in the middle preflop, Reagan Silber got the rest of his 189,000 stack into the middle from hijack, at risk against Alexandros Kolonias from the cutoff on the J♠8♦6♣ flop.

Reagan Silber: J♦J♣ All in
Alexandros Kolonias: A♥A♦

Silber outflopped the aces of Kolonias with his top set, but he still needed to hold to survive. He was able to do just that on the 3♦7♣ runout as he secured the full double in a massive pot.

Bobro Put to the Test by Hastings

Kai Cocklin

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

With around 90,000 chips in the pot on a board of 8♥J♠7♠Q♦5♣, Brian Hastings had bet the river for 90,000 from the big blind, which out Peter Bobro in a difficult spot from under the gun.

Bobro was agonizing over the decision and was apologetic to Hasting for taking so long.

"Sorry, give me a minute," said Bobro after being in the tank for a while. He then picked up calling chips and clutched onto them for a while, dangling them over the pot, then eventually dropped them in.

Hastings then flipped 10♣5♦ for a pair of fives and a straight blocker, and a relieved Bobro flipped 8♣7♦ for two pair to win the pot.

The flop came 8♣6♥5♥. Karmatcii led with an 8,000 bet and Lhuillier called.

Both players checked the K♦ turn leading to the 2♥ river. Karmatcii bet 37,000 and Lhuillier mucked after a couple of minutes of contemplation.

Brett Slezak

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.
