Level 4 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Chris Hunichen was left with just 1,000 after doubling up Brandon Wilson. Wilson held K♥J♥ on a 10♥5♥3♦4♣7♥ board, with his flush besting the Q♠10♠ of Hunichen.

On the very next hand, Chongxian Yang opened to 6,000 on the button and Galen Hall called in the small blind. Hunichen was all in from the big blind.

The pair checked down the Q♣Q♦6♠A♠J♦ board with Yang tabling A♣9♥. Hall had that beat with Q♠J♥ for a full house, with Hunichenr evealing Ax3x as he was sent to the rail.
