Giayetto Doubles Through Tevaearai

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Klint Tevaearai made it 55,000 to play from the button, and action folded to Lucas Giayetto in the big blind who three-bet all in for 675,000. Tevaearai went into the tank for a while and made the call to put Giayetto at risk.

Lucas Giayetto: A2 All in
Klint Tevaearai: 33

A handy flop came for Giayetto of J9A and when the A peeled off on the turn he just needed to dodge a three to stay alive. No miracles for Tevaearai on the 5 river and Giayetto was pushed the pot.

Ace High No Good

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Gabriel Harris raised from the cutoff to 50,000, and Harlan Karnofsky called from the button; the blinds folded. The flop showed 2Q5, and Harris bet 50,000, and Karnofsky called.

The turn 3 brought another bet from Harris for 130,000, and Karnofsky called again.

On the river K, both players reluctantly checked. Harris announced, "Ace high," and turned over A10. Karnofsky turned over A3 for a pair of threes and the winning hand.

Lapka Holds On; Arnwine Sits Tall

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Justin Arnwine
Justin Arnwine

Players were in a limped pot with Justin Lapka in the small blind and Spencer Champlin in the big blind. The pair were looking at a 3K6 board, and both checked to the 9 turn.

Lapka was down to his last ~200,000 and took some time before opting to check. Champlin checked behind, and the pair were taken to the K river. Lapka checked, Champlin asked for 50,000, which was still too much for Lapka, and he mucked his cards.

A few hands later, Lapka was seen open-jamming from the hijack and scooping up the blinds.

On the table across, Honghao Zhang opened to 50,000 from the hijack and Justin Arnwine called from the cutoff.

The KJ10 flop was quickly checked through to the 7 turn and 2 river, where Zhang bet out 80,000. Arnwine was quick to fold, passing a small pot across the table. He remained one of the leaders of the pack mid-way through Day 3.

McKay Leaves Zhang on Fumes

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Jamey Mckay
Jamey Mckay

Action folded to Jamey McKay, who made it 75,000 from the button. Lifu Zhang, in the big blind, three-bet all in, and he had McKay covered. McKay snap-called for his tournament life.

Jamey McKay: 77 All in
Lifu Zhang: A10

McKay was ahead, but on the 5KQ flop, Zhang picked up some straight outs to go with his overcards. The K turn also gave McKay some additional outs to dodge. The 8 turn wasn't one of them, however, and McKay was pushed the pot for a double-up while Zhang was left with less than seven big blinds.

Burrows Survives His Flop Shove

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Action was picked up on the flop of 992, as Christopher Burrows was all in from the cutoff, and Daisuke Ogita had called from the big blind. The pot was about 360,000.

Christopher Burrows: A5 All in
Daisuke Ogita: 33

The board ran out with 95, and Burrows hit his five for a bigger full house and the much-needed win.

Nasreddine Takes from Champlin

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Rania Nasreddine
Rania Nasreddine

Spencer Champlin raised to 50,000 from the cutoff and found a call from Rania Nasreddine in the big blind.

On the Q4K flop, Nasreddine check-called Champlin's 35,000 continuation-bet, and the dealer peeled off the 8 as the turn. The action went check check for the players to see the 2 roll off as the river.

Nasreddine bet out for 55,000, and Champlin didn't take long to toss in the call, but mucked his hand on seeing Nasreddine table AQ for second pair, and she was pushed the pot.

"Poker Tells Are Not Disappearing — They're Becoming More Valuable" Says Leading Expert

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

The world of poker strategy has become increasingly solver-driven over the last decade, with players obsessing over balanced ranges, GTO outputs, and technical perfection.

But according to Nacho Cuesta, creator of Master Poker Tells, there’s still a huge part of the game many players are completely overlooking: human behavior.

Cuesta has spent the last five years building what he describes as a structured system for reading live poker tells, breaking down unconscious behaviors into categories including eye movement, betting patterns, verbal cues, and body language. In the process, he says he identified something missing from almost all traditional tells content - structure.
