David Peters raised to 5,300 from under the gun and Si Xin Qin called before Winfred Yu three-bet to 18,000 in the small blind. Mustapha Kanit called in the big blind and Peters then moved all in. The three-bet amount was pulled in and Peters' shove was for another 103,300 on top.
That got Qin out of the way, but Yu called and Kanit folded, claiming in table chat he had pocket tens.
David Peters: 
Winfred Yu: 
The board ran out 
and the pair of jacks held up to bring Peters back to starting stack.

Level 4
: 1,000/2,000, 300 ante
Mustapha Kanit, David Peters and Winfred Yu talked about the possible dates for the next Triton stop later in the summer of 2017 while two small hands were going on. Si Xin Qin limped from the button, Yu called in the small blind and Kanit checked out of the big blind. On the 
flop, Yu bet 5,000 and just Qin called.
The turn went check, check, and Yu's bet of 8,000 on the 
river went through uncalled.
One hand later, Yu opened the button to 5,000 and Peters in the big blind three-bet to 17,500 in order to claim the pot uncontested.

Level 4
: 1,000/2,000, 300 ante
The stack of Timofey Kuznetsov has taken a few hits once again and he dropped to less than one third of the starting stack, while Paul Phua seems to be doing much better on his second bullet.
Phua opened to 5,000 from under the gun and Kuznetsov three-bet to 12,500 from one seat over. Sergio Aido was having none of it and four-bet to 28,000. Phua folded and Kuznetsov did so as well before Phua leaned over with a big smile and said to Kuznetsov: "How much do you have? I am all in." The Russian quickly said "I fold" and will have to make a move sooner or later to build his stack back up.
