Brett Slezak

Mikhail Iakovlev opened from under the gun and Faraz Jaka called in the cutoff. On the button, Mikhail Volfson put in a three-bet. Iakovlev weighed his options before he elected to call while Jaka got out of the way.

On the K♣8♠3♠ flop, Volfson continued for 35,000 before Iakovlev raised to 80,000. Volfson responded with a three-bet jam as the covering stack for 286,000 effective and Iakovlev snapped it off.

Mikhail Iakovlev: A♥A♣ All in
Mikhail Volfson: A♠K♦

It was a brutal cooler with Volfson flopping top pair top kicker against the aces of Iakovlev. The board ran out 3♦7♣ as Iakovlev got the full double.

Level 5 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Joseph Cheong opened 16,000 in the hijack and both Kyle Carlston and Thomas Muehloecker came along in the blinds.

The dealer fanned a flop of J♣4♠4♥, and all three players checked to the 8♠ turn. Carlston casually tossed a 25,000 chip across the line, forcing Muehloecker to fold but Cheong stuck around with a call.

The board completed with the K♣ on the river and Carlston continued for 75,000. Cheong took a bit longer this time, but eventually made the call.

Carlston rolled 9♦8♦ for eights and fours but it was no good as Cheong tabled J♦10♣ for jacks-up to drag the pot.

Level 5 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Alejandro Lococo opened from middle position and was called by Jianwei Lin in the cutoff and Jordan Glazer in the big blind.

On the 10♦9♠4♦ flop, the action checked to Lin who bet 20,000. Glazer responded with a check-raise to 125,000. Lococo inquired about Glazer's stack size before he slid a stack of green T-100,000 chips forward to put both players at risk. Lin swiftly folded while Glazer snap-called off for around 300,000 effective.

Jordan Glazer: 10♣4♣ All in
Alejandro Lococo: J♦9♦

Glazer was ahead with two pair but Lococo had middle pair and a flush draw. The 6♠ turn was safe for Glazer but the J♣ river gave Lococo a better two pair as Glazer hit the rail.
