Level 4 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Kristen Foxen raised to 22,000 in early position and was called by Andrew Robl in the cutoff. The flop fell K♥Q♦J♥ and Foxen checked to Robl who bet 40,000 and Foxen called.

The turn was the 9♥ and both players checked to the 10♠ on the river. Foxen made a large bet of 300,000 on the river and Robl instantly mucked his cards.

Level 5 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

On the last hand before the break, Steven Veneziano opened to 23,000 from under the gun and was called by Chance Kornuth in the hijack and Koray Aldemir on the button. Jonathan Jaffe three-bet to 115,000 from the small blind and all three players called.

The flop came J♠6♠4♣ and Jaffe continued with a bet of 135,000. Veneziano called, Kornuth stepped aside, and Aldemir also called. The turn was the 5♦ and Jaffe checked this time. Veneziano tossed in a bet of 135,000 and Aldemir called while Jaffe got out of the way.

The J♣ paired the board on the river and Veneziano splashed in a bet of 550,000. Aldemir used one of his time banks and then pushed all of his chips into the middle, other than 1,000. Veneziano wasted little time before throwing his cards away and Aldemir stacked the pot well into the break.

Level 5 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Chance Kornuth raised from early position and was three-bet by Chris Brewer from the big blind to 110,000. Kornuth responded by four-betting to 205,000 and Brewer moved all-in, with Kornuth making the call.

Chris Brewer: 10♣10♦
Chance Kornuth: A♦Q♠

It was a classic flip, but Kornuth would pull ahead immediately in the form of the A♣ on the 7♥A♣K♥ flop and would stay ahead on a runout of 5♣J♠, for a final board of 10♥A♣K♥5♣J♠, sending Brewer to the rail.

Jake Schindler raised it up in early position and was called by Justin Bonomo on the button and James Chen in the big blind. The flop fell 10♥7♥2♥ and the action checked to Bonomo who bet 30,000. Chen called and Schindler quickly folded.

The turn was the A♦ and Chen check-called another bet of 120,000 from Bonomo. The 7♣ paired the board on the river and Chen checked again. Bonomo threw in a bet of 210,000 and Chen burned a time bank before finally folding.

Phil Hellmuth and Jans Arends also just entered the field for the first time while Alex Kulev is now on his second and final bullet.
