The hand was picked up with approximately 9,800 already in the pot on the flop that read Q♠J♥8♣. Norman Shapiro checked from the small blind position, and Daniyal Gheba bet 7,000. Shapiro thought about his decision before he opted to call.

Gheba did not slow down on the 6♥ turn; this time he fired 11,000. Shapiro considered it before he folded to award Gheba the pot.

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Simeon Spasov raised to 1,100 from the hijack before Kristen Foxen elected to three-bet from the small blind to 4,500. The action folded back to Spasov, who made the call.

The action checked through on the 7♠4♣J♠ flop, but when the dealer added the K♥ to the board, Foxen placed a bet of 6,000. Spasov made the call before Foxen hit the brakes on the 5♥ river, checking over to Spasov. Spasov checked back, tabling his A♣7♣, which was good enough to beat Foxen's A♥Q♣.

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Felipe Ketzer opened to 1,100 from the cutoff and Julian Milliard three-bet to 4,900 from the small blind. Matthias Lipp four-bet to 12,000 from the big blind, Ketzer folded and Milliard five-bet to 27,500, leaving 30,000 behind. Lipp shoved with a covering stack and Milliard called, putting himself at risk.

Julian Milliard: A♣A♥ All in
Matthias Lipp: A♦K♦

Milliard was a massive favorite with pocket aces over ace-king on the Q♣4♣5♥ flop. The K♠ turn gave Lipp two outs to trip kings but the J♥ river was clean for Milliard who secured a full double up.

Julian Milliard	136,600 67,100	67,100

The 8♦4♣K♣ flop was met with a bet of 2,000 from Winter. Angelil was not done with the hand and made the call.

Both players checked the 6♠ turn and then the 3♦ river.

Angelil revealed 5♦5♣ for a pair of fives to take the pot down.

Girard had top two pair with A♦K♠ but Sokolovsky was best at showdown with 10♠10♦ for a set of tens to take the pot.

Erick Torres

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Krasimir Yankov raised from under the gun to 1,200 and was called by Thomas Boivin on the button. John Pointer wanted to play a bigger pot from the big blind and raised it to 7,200. This led to a call from Yankov and a fold from Boivin.

Pointer opted to bet 5,000 on the 6♣6♠9♥ flop, and Yankov came along with a call to send them to a turn.

The 4♦ turn did not slow Pointer down, as he bet 12,000 on this street and was once again called by Yankov.

Pointer chose to go all-in and put Yankov at risk when the 5♦ hit the river. Yankov wasted no time calling for 21,800.

Pointer showed J♣J♦, but Yankov revealed that he pulled the rug from underneath Pointer on the turn when he showed 4♠4♥ for a full house.
