Level 3 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Three-handed on a board of 7♥J♦10♠A♣, Symeon Alexandridis bet 20,500 from the small blind and Vladimir Olesnan called in early position. Zlatin Penev then moved all in for around 45,000 in middle position.

The K♠ completed the board and Penev was sent to the rail. "I had ace-jack," Alexandridis admitted after the hand.

Level 3 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Barny Boatman opened to 1,200 first-to-act and was called by Devrim Kaya in early position. Arturo then squeezed to 4,500 in the hijack and just behind him, James Chen made it 10,500 to go in the cutoff. Action folded back to Boatman, who five-bet to 16,500.

Kaya and Paduano folded to Chen, who appeared to want to call, but accidentally clicked it back. Boatman went all in and Chen called all in for 31,000 total.

James Chen: K♣K♠
Barny Boatman: A♦K♦

Chen was in good shape with his cowboys, and the 4♠2♠Q♥4♣K♥ runout improved him to a full house for the double up.
