Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Rytis Strigunas had a three-bet of 6,500 in front of him from middle position before Mark Jackson, in early position, reraised to 20,000. Strigunas then moved all in for 62,500 and Jackson snap-called.

Rytis Strigunas: A♦A♠
Mark Jackson: K♦K♣

It was a classic cooler early on Day 2 and Jackson didn't find any miracles on the 5♦4♥Q♦9♣8♥ board, so Strigunas doubled up.

Four players went to a flop of 4♥K♦2♦ when Ryan Plant bet 1,800 from early position. A player in the cutoff called, as did Noah Schwartz in the big blind.

All three players checked the 4♦ turn before the 10♣ fell on the river. Schwartz now led out for 3,300 as Plant began tanking.

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

The board was dealt in full as it read 3♥6♠J♣8♠Q♣.

Ludovic Heude, in early position, checked the action over to Federico Castaing on the button. Castaing bet out for 10,100 into a pot of approximately 42,000.
