Level 3 : Limits 800/1,600, 0 ante

Catching the action on a flop of Q♦J♣6♣, Michael Sortino checked from the small blind, and Xixiang Luo did so in the big blind. Robert Stevanovski then bet under the gun, which William Remshardt called in the hijack.

Sortino got out of the way, while Luo tossed in a call as well. It checked to Remshardt on the 7♦ turn, and he opted to bet. Both Luo and Stevanovski called to the 4♥ river, where Remshardt bet again after two more checks.

Luo quickly mucked his cards before Stevanovski called and tabled A♥10♥9♥2♦ for a naked nut low.

Remshardt played the same low with his A♠J♥8♠2♠, but was also awarded the high part of the pot with his pair of jacks.

Level 3 : Limits 800/1,600, 0 ante

Brandon Shack-Harris limped from early position before Erik Seidel raised from the next seat. Micah Brooks called from the small blind, and Qinghai Pan defended his big blind.

After Brooks knuckled the table on the 2♦8♥Q♣ flop, Pan led out with a bet. All three of his opponents called.

The 8♦ landed on the turn and Brooks checked again. Pan bet, causing Shack-Harris to fold, but Seidel raised. Brooks and Pan quickly folded, and Seidel pulled in the pot.

Level 3 : Limits 800/1,600, 0 ante

Robert Mizrachi raised from early position, and Clyde Gaskins called from the hijack. Brian Tate three-bet from the button, which Mizrachi and Gaskins called.

The flop came down 8♣Q♣J♣ and everyone checked to Tate, who bet. Mizrachi and Gaskins called.

Mizrachi checked the 4♠ turn, and Gaskins made a bet. Tate folded, but Mizrachi called.

The river was the 7♥, and Mizrachi check-called a bet from Gaskins.

Gaskins showed K♥10♣3♣2♠ for a flush, and Mizrachi tabled A♠Q♦3♠2♣ for the nut low, meaning they chopped the pot.

Mackie and Wells Chop Amidst Button Confusion

Level 3 : Limits 800/1,600, 0 ante

Robert Wells raised from early position, after which the action folded to Allen Kessler on the button. The table then realised the button was supposed to be one position to the right, and the floor was called.

After double-checking, the hand was to be played out as significant action had already taken place. Kessler then called, and Robert Mackie joined in from the big blind as well.

Wells continued with a bet on the 4♥4♠8♥ flop, seeing both opponents call. He fired again on the 10♥ turn, this time folding out Kessler, while Mackie check-called to the 7♥ river.

Mackie led out, Wells raised, and Mackie called. Wells showed A♥9♥10♣2♥ for the nut flush and nut low, but Mackie had the better high with Q♥7♦4♣2♣ for a full house, and the pot was split between the two players.

Level 3 : Limits 800/1,600, 0 ante

Dylan Linde raised the cutoff with Jon Shoreman calling on the button, Joe Ford calling from the small blind, and Igor Zektser defending his big blind.

Everyone checked the 2♠3♣Q♦ flop to see the 4♦ appear on the turn. Three checks followed before Shoreman bet, causing Ford to fold. Zekster raised, which was enough to force folds from all three opponents.

Level 3 : Limits 800/1,600, 0 ante

The action was caught on a completed board of A♠5♦4♦4♥K♦, where Qinghai Pan bet out from the small blind.

Ron Ware then raised, which Pan called after some thinking time. Ware showed K♥K♣8♥6♦ for a full house and an eight-low, winning both parts of the pot as Pan nodded his head and tossed his cards into the muck.
