Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Mo Nuwwarah and Fernando Gutierrez both put in 7,400 preflop before seeing the dealer spread out a flop of 8♣10♥7♠. Nuwwarah potted it, and Gutierrez jammed for 17,300. Nuwwarah called for the extra few thousand.

Fernando Gutierrez: 10♠9♠6♣5♦ All in
Mo Nuwwarah: A♥Q♦J♥4♦

Gutierrez flopped the nut straight and just needed to fade an unfortunate runout to double. The 5♠ turn and 10♦ river were safe for Gutierrez, and he doubled up through Nuwwarah.

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

Action was picked up as three players saw a flop of 8♦8♣Q♣ with 3,000 in the middle. Tarun Goyal checked from the small blind, Hayden Le did the same from the big blind, as did Philip Sternheimer from the hijack.

Le then bet out for 800 when checked to on the 8♥ turn, and only Goyal called. The 3♥ river checked through, and Goyal sheepishly announced "full house" with 2♠2♣. Le showed KxKx5x5x to take the pot.
