Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Heads-up on a flop of A♦8♠7♦, Ekrem Bozkurt bet 5,000 from under the gun and Andrey Santos raised to 15,000 in the big blind. Bozkurt called and the 4♠ fell on the turn.

Santos bet 25,000 and Bozkurt moved all in for 108,500. Santos snap-called with A♣8♣ for two pair, while Bozkurt had A♠K♠ as he was at risk.

The river, though, was the K♦ and Bozkurt spiked a higher two pair to win the pot and double up. Santos snapped a photo of the board before handing over the massive pot worth around 250,000.

Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Quinn Lowry opened to 2,500 in early position and Terrence Reid called from the next seat before Matthew Olsen three-bet jammed a stack of 12,500 from the cutoff. Both opponents called to bring a groan from Olsen.

Lowry bet 6,000 on the flop of 8♣5♥6♦ and Reid called. Lowry then pushed out a stack of 50,000 on the A♠ turn to put Reid in the tank. Reid eventually folded to hold onto his remaining 45,000.

Matthew Olsen: Q♥Q♠ All in
Quinn Lowry: 8♠7♠

Olsen was in front with queens until the 4♦ landed on the river to give Lowry a straight.

"I thought someone hit the ace," Olsen said before leaving the table.

Heads-up on a board of 4♥K♥3♥J♠, Caleb Piderit bet 4,500 from middle position and Charles Honkonen raised to 20,000 in the big blind. Piderit then moved all in and Honkonen called for 59,600.

Piderit had A♥9♦ for the nut flush draw, while Honkonen had K♠J♦ for two pair. The river was the 3♣ and Honkonen held on to double up off Piderit, who busted him earlier in the day.

Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

A player in early position raised to 2,200 and Jeff Platt called in the cutoff. Satheesh Francis then three-bet to 11,300 in the small blind and the early-position player called. Platt then moved all in for 47,000, Francis reshoved, and the original raiser got out of the way.

Jeff Platt: A♦Q♥ All in
Satheesh Francis: K♠K♥

Any hope Platt had of surviving the hand completely disappeared once the K♦K♣10♥ flop fell to give Francis quads. "He dealt those off the bottom. He's laughing," a tablemate joked about the dealer.

"That's a tough hand to beat," Platt said as the 9♣9♦ completed the board. Platt headed straight to the registration desk to reenter and ended up drawing the same seat.
