There was a raise to 700 and four callers before Kara Scott three-bet to 2,300 from the small blind. Both Ronnie Bardah and Jackson Genovesi decided to make the call and the dealer fanned out the 
flop.
Scott lead out for 5,000, Bardah raised to 18,000 and the actions passed to Genovesi who made made the call of the 18,000 raise. Scott also called meaning it was three-handed to the turn.
Scott greeted the turn by moving all-in for her last 2,725
The board pairs and Scott immediately moves all-in for 2,725.
"What is going on in this hand?" Shouts Bardah as he looked to the heavens, "you just flat 18k?" He motioned to Genovesi, "I have been in some tough spots before, but this is one of the toughest…I have put over 20,000 of my chips into this pot and I have to fold…I have outs too," said Bardah before finally folding his hand.
Genovesi then pretended to fold and the whole table burst into rptures and laughter at the reaction on Bardah's face. Genovesi pulled his cards back and called.
Scott showed 
and needed a queen or a seven to survive as Genovesi held for the nut flush. The 
was not one of Scott's outs and she headed to the sidelines whilst Genovesi became the new chip leader.

Gluszko checked his option to bed but Kanit, who needs no excuse to fire a bet, made it 1,525 to play. Gluszko sat studying his opponent for close to a minute before springing into life and check-raising to 4,200. Kanit made the call around 30 seconds later.
The was the turn card and after a brief pause Gluszko lead out for 5,200. Kanit did not seem very impressed at his current predicament and ended the hand by sending his cards back to the dealer.

From middle position Andrew Badecker raised to 400 and found callers in the shape of Marco Levato in the cutoff and the big blind. The trio watch with baited breath as the dealer fanned out the all-club 
flop. The big blind checked, Badecker bet 600 and only Levato called.
The turn was another club, the potential Royal Flush completing 
. Badecker checked to his now sole opponent but quickly released his hand when he was faced with a 1,600 bet.
We joined the action on the river of a board reading 
where Vanessa Selbst had bet 11,200 into a pot of 15,000, sending Ludovic Riehl into the tank.
Riehl stayed fully submerged for over five minutes before apologizing, sitting forward in his chair and finally making the call. Selbst flipped over and Riehl mucked instantly.
"Would you have called if I had shoved," was the question from Riehl.
"For 5k more? Of course I would have called!" came the reply from the Team PokerStars Pro.
Selbst is now passed the 50,000 chip barrier.
