Level 2 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Yehoshua Saadon opened to 2,000 from under the gun and saw three players call behind. Pedro Bromfman called from early position, Stephen Hubbard from the cutoff and Youness Barakat from the small blind.

The players were dealt the 8♦7♥10♥ flop and action checked to Hubbard who bet 5,000. Only Saadon called and a 5♠ was turned.

Saadon checked, and Hubbard bet 12,000. Saadon made another call to see the A♠ complete the board.

Saadon checked again, Hubbard bet pot for 41,000 and Saadon jammed, covering Hubbards 71,900 stack. Habbard snap called and turned over his J♥10♣9♣4♥ for the straight and Saadon held his cards up in his hands. Habbard remarked "Oh you were bluffing? I thought we were chopping".

The dealer turned over Saadon's hand as it was an all in and call, and he had a trip eights 9♦8♣8♥7♣.

Level 2 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

With roughly 25,000 in the pot and a 5♦10♠5♠ flop on the felt, Krasimir Yankov led out from the small blind, and Jeremy Druckman potted it on the button. Yankov moved all in, and Druckman called, putting himself at risk.

Jeremy Druckman: K♠Q♠9♣3♣ All in
Krasimir Yankov: A♥A♣K♦5♥

The 2♣ turn kept Yankov in the lead, but the flush-completing 9♠ river saw Druckman hit his flush, earning him a double up.

Level 1 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

With 6,000 in the middle, and a K♥3♣9♠ flop on the felt, Brian Batt bet 3,500 from under the gun, which Dylan Weisman called on the button before the big blind check-folded.

The 5♣ turn saw both players check, and when Batt checked again on the 2♣ river, Weisman checked behind once more.

Batt tabled 7♠7♥6♠6♥, which was no good against Weisman's A♠J♠J♣5♥.

Level 1 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Samuel Del Castillo Guerra opened to 1,800 on the button and Aaron Mermelstein called from the small blind. Long Long also defended his big blind taking the players three-ways to the 3♥A♠K♥ flop. A 3,000 bet by Guerra was enough to see both the blinds muck allowing him to add some back to his stack.

In the next hand, Jeremy Druckman opened to 1,800 from under the gun and saw two players call. Long defended the small blind and Arthur Morris called from the big blind.

A 6♥K♦8♦ flop saw action check to Druckman who bet 4,000 and only Morris called. A 10♦ turn was check-called by Morris after facing a 7,000 bet by Druckman, and the pair saw a 7♦ complete the board.

Both opted to make quick checks to showdown and Morris tabled his Q♦10♠6♦5♠ for the flush. Druckman mucked.

Youness Barakat raised to 1,800 from under the gun, and after Amit Ben Yacov called on the button, Stephen Hubbard and Adam Monaghan came along from the small and big blind.

All four players checked on the 5♥Q♠9♥ flop, and the K♦ turn joined the board.

The two players in the blinds checked again, and Barakat bet 5,900. Ben Yacov called, but Hubbard and Monaghan folded.

Barakat reverted to checking on the 10♣ river and faced a bet of 7,500 from Ben Yacov.

After spending some time considering the situation, Barakat folded.

Aaron Mermelstein opened to 1,800 and Brevin Andreadis defended his small blind.
