Tyler Foran

Danny Panagatos was seen all in for his last 12,800 and both hands were on their backs.

Opponent: A♥Q♠

Panagatos was dominated, but the J♥9♣3♦ flop gave him the best hand with a pair of jacks. The 5♠ turn and 3♣ river changed nothing as Panagatos collect his double.

The following hand, a player in middle position raised to 1,500 and Panagatos defended his big blind.

Both players checked through the flop of J♠9♦3♣ to see the 8♥ turn. Panagatos fired out a bet of 2,000 and his opponent mucked his hand.

Dan O'Hair

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Martin Vialla de Soleyrol opened to 1,300 from middle position and found one caller in Jamie Gold from the big blind.

Both players checked on the 5♥2♦6♠ flop and then Gold led out for 2,000 on the 7♥ turn. Vialla de Soleyrol called.

The 8♣ completed the board and Gold checked — prompting a 6,200 bet from Vialla de Soleyrol and sending Gold deep into the tank.

"All I have is a deuce I might call you," Gold said.

Gold did eventually put in a call and Vialla de Soleyrol tabled A♥Q♥ for a busted flush draw. Gold had Q♦2♠ for a pair of deuces as advertised and collected the pot.

Frank Visser

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

In a pot of around 12,000, Victor Chu led from the big blind for 3,000 on a flop of K♦K♣2♠. Jorn Walthaus was in middle position and made the call as the only other player in the hand.

The K♥ turn fell and Chu bet another 5,000, followed by another call from Walthaus. Then on the Q♠ river, Chu upped the ante once more, this time to 10,000 chips.

Finally, Walthaus let his hand go and granted the pot to Chu, who climbed just above starting stack by winning it.

Maxime Taldir

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Everybody folded to Tjan Tepeh in the cutoff who opened to 1,500. Tony Pham in the big blind was the only one to call, to see the flop 7♣2♥4♠.

Both players agreed to add 1,000 chips to the pot at this point. Then Pham took the lead on the turn 2♣, betting 3,000. Tepeh called.

On the river 8♥, Pham bet again, this time 2,500. Tepeh, quite confused, took 30 seconds to think and called. But Tepeh appeared even more confused when he had to muck his cards, as Pham revealed 8♣4♣ for two pairs.
