Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Will Kassouf raised to 2,900 from middle position and called a three-bet of 8,300 from Aaron Van Blarcum, who was in the hijack.

Both players checked on the 8♣Q♦J♦ flop and then Kassouf led out for 9,700 on the 9♥ turn.

"Save your chips, I've got the best hand," Kassouf said as Van Blarcum contemplated his decision.

"What to do, what to do..." Van Blarcum said before tossing in a call.

The 7♥ completed the board and Kassouf sized up for a bet of 20,000.

"Just in case, I just call," Van Blacrum said as he tossed in calling chips.

"One pair, you're good," Kassouf said, prompting Van Blarcum to table 10♥10♣ for a straight.

"I was repping your hand!" Kassouf said.

"I was deciding if I should raise or not," Van Blacrum replied. "That's why I was tanking."

The board of 4♠Q♥10♠7♠Q♣ kept Nguyen in the lead and Harth was eliminated.

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Bradley King raised to 2,500 on the button and snap-called when Ali Ghassemzadeh three-bet to 7,500 in the big blind.

Ghassemzadeh continued with another 7,500 bet on the J♦3♣A♥ flop before calling when King moved all in for 33,500.

Bradley King: A♣2♣ All in
Ali Ghassemzadeh: A♦K♠

Both players had flopped top pair, but King's kicker issues had him in big trouble.

Those issues quickly vanished on the 2♠ turn, as King leapfrogged Ghassemzadeh into the lead. However, his joy quickly turned to despair as the 3♦ counterfeited his two pair, seeing Ghassemzadeh take the pot and King hit the rail.

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Maxx Holland had check-raised an earlier bet of 5,100 to 16,000 from the small blind on the 5♠J♥8♣ flop, and Alfredo Fernandez in middle position and Gilad Gutkin in the hijack both called.

Holland tossed in 27,000 more on the K♦ turn. This time, only Fernandez called. Gutkin folded, leaving himself a short stack.

Holland then moved all in on the A♠ river. Fernandez quickly folded, having just under a starting stack back. Holland showed the table 10♥9♥ for a bluff, but Fernandez informed him he had the best hand as he tabled his 9♦7♦.

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Max Neugebauer opened to 2,400 from early position, which led to calls from Oliwer Sankiewicz in early position and Viktor Berg from middle position.

The J♦K♥9♦ flop was checked by all three players to bring the 5♠ turn. Neugebauer opted to bet 3,500, which was only called by Berg as Sankiewicz got out of the fray with a fold.

Neugebauer slowed down with a check on the A♣ river. Berg took the opportunity to bet 5,600.

Neugebauer declined to continue any further as Berg won the pot on the river without a showdown.
