Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Zhongmin Wu opened to 1,200 from early position and Bradley Guan called from the hijack. Russell Koch three-bet to 4,700 on the button and Wu also topped up to call.

The J♠3♣2♠ flop saw action check to Koch who bet 13,000. Wu called and Guan mucked his hand.

A 6♠ turn saw both quickly check to the 4♠ river and Wu took some time before betting 10,000. He was snap-called by Koch, and Koch tabled his A♦K♠ for the king-high flush. Wu mucked his hand and was left sitting as the short stack at the table with under 20,000 chips.

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Abraham Truzman raised to 1,200 from early position and picked up a call on the button before Giovanni Pupo squeezed to 4,500 from the small blind. Only Truzman called.

Pupo fired 3,500 on the 3♠Q♠3♣ flop, and Truzman stuck around with a call.

The K♣ landed on the turn, and Pupo barreled again for 9,000. Once more, Truzman called.

Both players checked the 8♣ river. Pupo tabled A♥Q♣ for a pair of queens with the ace-kicker, which was enough to win the pot.

Mike Matusow

Mike Matusow opened from early position before Damien Gayer three-bet to 2,700 from middle position. When the action got back to Matusow, he four-bet to 12,000, only to be met by a five-bet shove for 23,700 from Gayer. Matusow immediately shook his head in disgust as his spidey senses appeared to kick in. Nevertheless, he reluctantly made the call for around a third of his stack.

Damien Gayer: A♠A♥ All in
Mike Matusow: K♥K♠

Matusow's instincts had been right, as he found himself on the wrong end of poker's classic preflop cooler.

The flop came 7♦2♣A♦, giving Gayer top set and leaving Matusow virtually drawing dead.

The 3♣7♠ completed the runout, improving Gayer to an unnecessary full house as he scored the double-up.

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Robert Paddock raised to 1,000 under the gun, which Benjamin McKevitt and Hector Berry called from the hijack and the big blind.

Paddock continued for 1,400 on a K♣5♥7♥ flop, which McKevitt called before Berry check-raised to 3,900. Paddock folded, but McKevitt called for a second time.

The action checked through on the J♦ turn, but Berry again on the Q♥ river, putting 4,400 into the pot. McKevitt took a minute or so to respond, and then raised to 15,000. Berry wasted no time at all in surrendering the pot, as he immediately returned his cards to the dealer.

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

David Myers limped from early position before Emmanouil Chalkiotis made it 1,400 from the next seat over. Steven Pheasant called from middle position, and Myers stayed in with a call.

The Q♥J♦8♣ flop led to a trio of checks to bring the 7♠ turn.

Myers put out a bet of 2,000, but was immediately raised by Chalkiotis to 4,000. Pheasant called the raise, and Myers came along also.

Everyone checked the 10♣ river to go to a showdown.

Myers showed K♣J♣ for a pair of jacks with a king kicker, but it was the inferior hand as Chalkiotis revealed A♠J♥ before Pheasant mucked his hand.

Mike Matusow raised to 1,000 from middle position and was called by Michael Falk in the big blind.

Falk check-called an 800 bet from Matusow on the 5♣J♥A♦ flop and then led out for 2,500 after the J♠ paired the board on the turn.

The four-time bracelet winner didn't take long to lay his hand down and Falk was sent the pot.
