Ollie Garland

Level 6 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Stanislas Roussel in middle position raised to 1,300 and it folded around to Daniel Moran on the button, who three-bet to 3,500. Roussel four-bet to 10,000 and Moran called.

The flop came 8♠10♦5♣ and saw both players check the hand through to the 9♦ on the turn. Roussel took the lead and bet out for 7,500. Moran called.

The J♠ on the river put a four straight on board and Roussel jammed for 10,300. Moran went into the tank agonizing over his decision before finally folding.

"Aces or Kings?" one of the players at the table asked Moran.

"Aces" he replied.

Level 6 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Joseph Lebrun opened the pot to 1,200 from middle position, finding callers in both the button and the big blind. Three to a flop of 10♥7♦3♣, Lebrun was checked to and continued for 1,600. Both players called and they went to a turn.

The 6♣ fell and the action checked through, all three players arriving at the Q♣ on the river. Again, checked to Lebrun who bet out 4,100. The button folded but the big blind mulled over his decision before flicking in the call. Lebrun tabled J♣J♠ and his opponent mucked.

Ryan Gray

Level 7 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Steven Yu raised 1,500 from under the gun, John Gisler raised to 4,000 from middle position and the cutoff called.

The players saw a flop of 8♣2♣8♦. The cutoff lead out for 5,500, Yu folded, and Gisler check-raised to 12,500. The cutoff called.

Gisler bet out another 10,500 on a 5♠ turn, almost half of the cutoff's remaining stack and he called.

Gisler open-shoved on the 7♥. The cutoff went deep in the tank, over two minutes of picking up his chips, setting them down, grabbing his cards and pump-faking them into the muck, and back to the chips, before he finally made the call all in.

Gisler showed A♥8♥ for trips. The cutoff stood up dejectedly, and made his way to the door.
