Marc-Andre Ladouceur joined the stacked table captained by Matt Berkey.
Ladouceur lasted the shortest time in the following hand, folding under the gun. His neighbor, Artem Metalidi raised to 800, earning calls from small blind Matt Berkey and a player in the big blind.
Metalidi checked back the 
flop, leaving the betting initiative to Berkey, who led out for 1,700 on the turn.
"How much? Seventeen?" Metalidi asked after the big blind had folded. Metalidi called.
The river 
went check-check, and Berkey tabled 
. Metalidi leaned over to see his cards and double-checked them with the board, maybe trying to determine whether or not Berkey had a straight.
When Metalidi figured out that Berkey had only a pair of tens, he rolled over his 
for a turned set.

Levy:
Vornicu:

Under the gun, Marc-Andre Ladouceur raised to 800, receiving two calls. The player on the button and Matt Berkey, in the small blind, matched the price, but the big blind had another plan. He squeezed to 3,800, giving the ball back to Ladouceur.
Ladouceur took about two minutes to figure out his next action. He looked at big blind's stack, then at his own. Eventually, he placed in 8,200, and all of his opponents released their hands within a few seconds.

Maria Ho fold to Ari Engel's river raise during the last level, and Ho just got her sweet revenge.
They swapped roles this time, with Engel betting 4,000 into a pot of about 5,000 chips on the river of the 
board.
Ho was in the cutoff, and she raised to 13,000.
"Fours," Engel whispered among other thoughts he had when guessing Ho's hand. She remained silent.
Dani Stern eventually called the clock on Engel, and the floorperson gave him 30 seconds. Engel needed about a third of that, throwing in the calling chips.
Ho turned up for aces full, raking in the sizable pot.
