Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Napat Buranatavonsom and Baker Abdallah were heads up on a flop of 5♦J♠9♠. With around 7,100 in the middle, Buranatavonsom bet 2,700 from middle position and Abdallah raised to 8,000. Buranatavonsom made the call and an A♥ turn was dealt.

Abdallah bet another 9,500 after a check from Buranatavonsom, but this time the latter would respond with a raise all-in for 37,500. Abdallah took one last peak at his cards before throwing them into the muck and granting the pot to Buranatavonsom.

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Three-handed on a board of J♥Q♠2♠4♠, Dalton Hobold bet 6,500 from the big blind and Loc Nguyen called in the cutoff. Another opponent in the small blind folded as Hobold and Nguyen went heads-up to the river.

The dealer turned over the 3♥ and Hobold now fired out 18,500. Nguyen took his time before calling as Hobold showed A♠9♥ for a bluff. Nguyen had K♣J♦ for a pair of jacks to win the big pot.

Juan Endara, who doubled up in a massive pot against Hobold in the last level, has steadily increased his stack since, while Jon Cohen, sitting with his dog, is also at this table.

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Adam Hendrix opened to 2,000 from middle position and the big blind defended.

The flop came 6♠9♥8♠. The big blind checked, Hendrix fired a continuation bet of 2,000 and the big blind moved all in, covering Hendrix's remaining stack of approximately 7,500. Hendrix quickly made the call to put himself at risk.

Big Blind: K♠J♠
Adam Hendrix: A♥A♣

Hendrix was ahead with his pocket aces but the big blind was very live with a king-high flush draw. The board ran out 8♣6♦ and Hendrix secured a much-needed double up.

The very next hand at the same table, Benjamin Spragg, best known as "Spraggy" online, moved all in from the hijack for his last 7,500 and received a call from the small blind, putting Spragg at risk.

Benjamin Spragg: A♥K♠
Small Blind: A♦8♥

Spragg was ahead with a bigger ace but the J♦9♦10♣ flop gave his opponent several more outs. The 10♠ turn and K♥ river were clean for Spragg and he secured the second double up at his table over two consecutive hands.

Ryan Gray

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

According to his tablemates, Kyle Miholich has been the life of the table. He asked if the table wanted to hear a blonde joke or a carrot joke. The consensus was carrot joke.

"A papa carrot, a mama carrot, and a baby carrot were walking down the street when they were blindsided by a drunk driver," Miholic began.

Meanwhile, Duff Charette and Kevin Stevens got involved in a hand from the blinds. Stevens bet 1,000 from the big blind on a A♥10♣K♣ flop and Charette put in the call.

"They were all taken to the emergency room. The papa and baby carrot only had superficial wounds, cuts and scrapes, but the mama was taken to surgery."

Stevens continued for 3,000 on a 6♦ turn. "The surgeon comes into the waiting room and the papa carrot is frantic. 'How is my wife?'" he asked. "'I have good news and bad news.' said the doctor."

Charette took the lead on the 8♣ turn, betting 5,000. Stevens said he thought Charette had a better king and folded.

Miholic looked around the table, playing to his audience as he hit the punchline. "'Your wife is going to live, Mr. Carrot. But she's going to be a vegetable for the rest of her life.'"

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Todd Brunson opened from middle position to 2,200, and was called by Masato Yokosawa seated on his left.

The dealer fanned a flop of 5♠7♣J♥, and Brunson added 2,800 more chips to the pot. Yokosawa called, then checked back on the turn K♠.

On the river 7♣, Brunson bet again, this time to 5,000. But it was a bit too much for Yokosawa, who decided to fold.

Lisandro Doesn't Feel Good About It

Liam Gannon

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Joao Rocha raised to 2,500 in first position which saw Rhian Fineis three bet to 7,500 in the small blind and Jeff Lisandro called in the big blind. Joao Rocha responded by four betting to 20,000 and Fineis called while Lisandro five bet to 100,000 and Rocha folded. Fineis six bet all in for 110,000 effective for all of Lisandro's chips and Lisandro called to put himself at risk.

Jeff Lisandro: K♦K♠
Rhian Fineis: Q♦Q♠

"I don't feel very good about it," said Lisandro before the flop came.

As if on cue, the board ran out Q♥J♥10♥3♥4♠ and the queens made a set to crack Lisandro's kings.

Lisandro exited the tournament area and Jean "Prince" Gaspard chirped up at the table.

"How can you expect to say that and win the hand?" remarked Gaspard.
