In a blind versus blind battle, Maxx Coleman and Robert Mizrachi went to the turn on a board of Q♠5♠4♥10♣ when Mizrachi bet 29,000.

Coleman responded by moving all in for 105,000. Mizrachi, with around the same amount remaining, tanked for several minutes as he alternated between looking back at his hand, at Coleman, and sipping from his coffee cup.

Mizrachi eventually flashed two fours for a set and folded.

Level 18

Limit Hold 'em

Picking action up on a flop of K♦Q♥J♦, Daniel Strelitz bet from the cutoff and was met with a raise from Kao "Flexx" Saechao on the button.

Strelitz called and the 5♣ came on the turn. Strelitz check-called another bet and then on the river 7♣ check-called a final bet.

Strelitz showed 10♦9♦ for a flopped low-end straight.

"Freerolling me like a MF'er," said Saechaio as he rolled over 10♠9♠ for the same straight that managed to dodge Strelitz's flush draw to chop the pot.
