Level 26
: 1,500/3,000, 0 ante
Alex Foxen raised his K♣3♠ to 7,000 preflop and Joey Weissman made the call with A♠7♥.
The flop 2♥7♦8♥ and turn 6♠ brought checks from both players, but the A♦ river changed all of that.
Weissman bet 4,000 into the 15,000-chip pot. Foxen raised to 27,000.
Weissman's chips for a three-bet to 78,000 had barely hit the felt, when Foxen tossed in his hand for the fold.

Masato Yokosawa limped in from the button, and Justin Saliba checked his option in the big blind before both players checked on a A♦6♠7♣ flop.
Saliba chose to lead out for 3,000 on the 3♥ turn, and Yokosawa called.
The 5♣ completed the board, and Saliba put another bet into the middle, this time 5,500. Yokosawa took his time in responding, but when he did, it was a raise to 19,500. Saliba made the call and tabled 5♥3♣ for two pair, which was unable to beat the straight of Yokosawa, who showed A♣4♠.
Level 26
: 1,500/3,000, 0 ante
After seeing consecutive flops and checking it all the way down, Phil Hellmuth and Michael Mizrachi both got a nice piece of a flop.
Mizrachi took charge, raising to 10,000 with 9♥8♥. Hellmuth called with 9♠6♠.
They both casually tossed in 10,000 in chips as if they were hardly interested in the flop of Q♠8♠9♦, though Mizrachi had two pair and Hellmuth middle pair with a flush draw.
Mizrachi led out with 30,000 on the K♥ turn, and Hellmuth again came along.
Mizrachi fired another 80,000 on the 7♥ river. This time, Hellmuth let it go.

Looking down at A♠3♠, Daniel Negreanu raised to 6,500 on the button, and Harvey Castro responded with a three-bet to 24,000 from the big blind, holding A♦7♦. Not done with the raising yet, Negreanu four-bet to 58,000, which Castro called.
Castro checked in flow on the Q♠9♦2♦ flop, and Negreanu continued for 35,000. Once again, Castro called.
The K♠ turn card joined the board, and Castro checked for a second time, this time folding the best hand when Negreanu barrelled for 90,000.
Level 25
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 0 ante
Harvey Castro raised to 6,000, and Daniel Negreanu called.
The flop was a monotone 2♥7♥9♥. Negreanu checked. Castro bet 4,000.
Negreanu fired in a raise to 12,000, which caused a momentary pause for Castro, but he mad the call.
The 6♣ turn brought another check from Negreanu. Castro checked.
The J♥ on the river could have turned up the heat, but after Negreanu checked, Castro did likewise.
Negreanu showed Q♥J♣ for the flush to take the pot. Castro had turned a straight with 10♣8♥.
Level 25
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 0 ante
Masato Yokosawa raised to 6,500 on the button with K♠J♥, and called a three-bet to 26,000 from Justin Saliba in the big blind, holding 9♥9♦.
The dealer fanned a 7♦Q♦K♣ flop, and Saliba started with a check before calling a bet of 26,000 from Yokosawa.
Saliba quickly checked on the J♠ turn, but this time elected to fold when Yokosawa put a more substantial 104,000 into the middle.

The Sweet 16, as it were, featured a marquis matchup of Phil Hellmuth and Michael Mizrachi, owners of a collective 25 championship bracelets.
It didn't take long for the duo to tangle on the felt, with Mizrachi raising to 6,000 preflop with J♠J♦, which Hellmuth called holding 10♠9♥.
Hellmuth checked his middle pair on the flop 8♦10♣A♣, then called Mizrachi's 5,000-chip bet.
The turn of the 9♦ brought a second pair for Hellmuth, who again check-called a Mizrachi bet, this time for 10,000.
The river Q♥ brought one more check from Hellmuth, but this time, he hesitated before adding any more chips to the pot.
"Looks like a fold, that's good," Mizrachi said.
Hellmuth responded with a smile, then refused to bite Mizrachi's 35,000-chip lure.
