Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

An early position player raised to 1,100 and stated, "This is a donation". Bryden Baxter on the big blind decided he needed a donation and made the call. The flop came out Q♥7♠3♦ and Baxter made a bet into the preflop aggressor who reraised to 3,700 and again said, "This is also a donation". Baxter still felt a donation was in order and called.

After all of that action the turn 7♦ and the river 6♣ went check, check. Baxter flipped over A♥5♥ and the early position player said, "What does he have?" The dealer responded, "Ace high" and the player mucked.

In the end Baxter got his donation.

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Four ways on a 8♣6♣A♥ flop, it appeared action had checked to Chance Kornuth in the cutoff, who bet 2,600. The player in the big blind then check-raised to 8,200 and only Kornuth called.

The 8♠ came on the turn and the big blind check-called a 5,500 bet from Kornuth.

Kornuth's opponent checked again when the 10♥ completed the board and Kornuth fired a hefty 29,000 into the middle. His opponent folded after a bit of thought and Kornuth said, "I don't know if I should show this," as he tabled 8♥8♦ for quad eights and collected the pot.

Lococo Is Everywhere

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

"We've been out of focus for 20 minutes," said a player at Alejandro Lococo's table. Because while he is a playing, Lococo's deeprun in the 2021 WSOP Main Event is displayed on the screens, so everybody is watching.

Lococo even remembered his sizings at the time. "1.2 million was good here", he commented, looking at the screen.

And even him lost his concentration. "Am I in the small blind?" he asked. "Yes," answered the dealer. So Lococo bet 1,500, and the big blind called.

The rest of the hand isn't important as both players checked all the way through on 3♥6♠2♦5♦10♥. But "Papo MC" almost won the pot as he showed Q♣J♠. The dealer started to push the chips in his direction. But after a few seconds, the big blind showed 8♥5♠ and took the pot.
