Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Steve Warburton raised to 1,000 in the cutoff and Robin Scory defended the big blind.

The dealer spread a flop of 9♥8♣4♥ and Scory check-raised the bet of 1,000 to 3,000 and Warburton made the call.

As soon as Warburton's chips hit the felt, Scory announced a check-dark for the turn.

The 9♣ hit the turn, and Warburton fired 3,000. Scory called.

When the 10♦ completed the board, both players knuckled the table. Scory announced he had a three as he tabled, 7♠3♣.

Warburton responded with "No good" as he showed 8♦4♦ for a pair of eights.

"In your face" he joked as he dragged the pot.

"I should have.... I don't know, I f*cked up."

Joseph Cheong raised it up in middle position and Thomas Woolen called from the small blind. The flop came K♣5♦4♣ and Woolen check-called a bet of 800 from Cheong.

The K♠ paired the board on the turn and Woolen checked again. Cheong tossed in a bet of 2,000 and Woolen gave it some thought but still called. The Q♥ hit the river and both players tapped the table. Woolen tabled 10♥10♦ and Cheong flung his cards into the muck.

"You had me pipped," Cheong noted after the hand.

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

One of the biggest pots of the day so far took place at Table 664 between Nicholas Verderamo and Ralph Russo on a board of Q♣4♠2♥9♥9♣.

With around 70,000 already in the middle, Russo pushed out a tower of chips for a bet of 59,000 before covering his face with his hoodie. He stayed in this position for several minutes as Verderamo stretched and considered calling for the vast majority of his stack.

"Take your time, man," said table mate Thomas Torres. "It's a big decision."

Verderamo eventually called and Russo sprung from behind his hoodie to reveal 4♥4♣ for fours full of nines, which was good against the smaller full house of his opponent with 2♦2♣ after both players had flopped sets.

Player	Chips	Progress
Ralph Russo	185,000 185,000	185,000

Maxime Taldir

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Eric Worre limped from under the gun, giving the opportunity for Clément Bonnant in the small blind to complete, and Benjamin Ané to check his big blind.

On the flop 9♥5♣3♦, both Frenchies in the blinds checked, and Worre bet 800. Nobody gave up, and there were still three players on the turn A♣. After two checks, Worre bet again for 3,300. Bonnant folded at this point, but Ané called to see the 3♥ on the river.

Worre sized up once more to 10,000 chips, but it was too much for Ané, who check-folded.

With the 9♦10♥Q♥10♦8♥ board already completed, Jimmy Guerrero had 12,000 in front of him on the river and Giuseppe Iadisernia moved all in for around 22,000.

Guerrero was visibly unhappy about it but paid the bet off only to be shown J♥9♥ for a straight flush. Guerrero flashed the A♥ and an unknown other heart to indicate he had the nut flush.

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

There was a limp in early position and Jeffrey Kostyniuk raised to 1,400 from a couple of spots to the left. The action folded back around to the limper and he made the call.

When the Q♥10♣4♥ flop came, the limper check-called a continuation bet of 1,000 from Kostyniuk.

The 5♦ hit the turn and both players quickly checked to the J♣ river.

The player first to act bet 2,400 and Kostyniuk paused for a long moment, counting his stack before firing a raise of 13,000 into the middle. His opponent instantly mucked his hand.
