Kamutzki Kaputski

Level 3 : 150/300, 0 ante

Heinz Kamutzki had built up a decent stack early on in the tournament and lost most of after losing a big pot with - what the remaining players allege - aces that he mucked on the river.

Afterward, he was nursing his stack and enjoyed a restorative massage, but it came to an end when he got his chips in the middle preflop with {j-}{j-} and lost out to another player's {q-}{q-}.

Lindgren Cut in Half

Level 3 : 150/300, 0 ante

We caught Erick Lindgren in a hand on a flop of {5-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}. Lindgren check-called a bet of 1,200 and the dealer laid the {8-Hearts} down on the turn.

Lindgren once again check-called a bet, this time for 3,500. The {7-Clubs} fell on the river and Lindgren check-called once more. The final bet was 10,000 and Lindgren mucked when his opponent showed him {5-Clubs}{5-Spades}.

Huang Straightened Out

Level 3 : 150/300, 0 ante
Bryan Huang
Bryan Huang

Following a raise from the under-the-gun player to 600, and a call from the cutoff, Singapore's Bryan Huang three-bet the button to 2,150. Only the original raiser called as the flop landed {9-Clubs}{K-Spades}{5-Diamonds} and both players checked.

The turn landed the {6-Spades} and Huang was faced with a 2,600-chip bet, which he called as the {7-Clubs} landed on the river.

Huang's opponent then bet out 6,400, after Huang asked for the pot to be spread before he called.

Huang's opponent then tabled {8-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} for a turned straight as Huang mucked and slipped to 12,600 in chips.

Watts Has a Solid Level

Level 3 : 150/300, 0 ante

Steve Watts has had a solid third level and has rebuilt back to his starting stack and beyond.

Watts was on the button and raised to 650 over the top of an early position limper. The limper called and then checked on the {Q-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}{5-Clubs}. Watts took a stab at the pot with a bet of 800, which worked when his opponent mucked.

The same happened on the following hand; the same player limped and then Watts' late position raise. Watts' opponent then check-folded on the flop. Watts will take those small pots all day long if they are available. He's now up to 38,500 chips.

Rettenmaier Soars

Level 3 : 150/300, 0 ante

We arrived at the table in time to see Marvin Rettenmaier heads up with an opponent on a {Q-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{7-Hearts} flop. Action checked over to Rettenmaier and he fired at the pot for 1,025 from the button. His opponent came over the top with a check-raise to 3,125, sending Rettenmaier into the tank. After about a minute of pondering, he dropped forward a call.

The turn was the {K-Spades} and Rettenmaier's opponent wasted no time firing 6,100 into the middle of the table. Rettenmaier thought for quite some time before flat calling to see a river. The dealer paired the board on the river with the {Q-Hearts} and Rettenmaier's opponent checked his action. Rettenmaier reached into his stack and dropped all of his orange T5,000 chips into the middle, moving his opponent all in for 15,150 effective. Rettenmaier's opponent let his cards go, allowing Rettenmaier to drag the pot and bring his stack to 95,100.

Tuan Le

A player was all-in and at risk against Tuan Le, holding {a-Spades}{q-Diamonds} on a board of {10-Spades}{a-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{9-Diamonds}. Unfortunately for him, the 2014 WSOP bracelet winner held {a-Clubs}{10-Clubs} for top two.

The {7-Hearts} bricked off on the river, sending the player packing. Le is up to 68,000 chips.

Kuether Puts Someone to the Test

Level 3 : 150/300, 0 ante

Joe Kuether opened the pot and was three-bet by the player to his left to 2,100. Kuether raised his opponent back and made it 4,800, which got called.

They saw a flop of {k-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{4-Spades} and Kuether check-called a bet of 2,900. They both checked the turn card {6-Clubs}. When the river {2-Diamonds} arrived, Kuether looked at his opponents remaining 17,000 stack and set him in. It was a decision for his tournament life and his opponent let the hand go.
