Ollie Garland

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

The pot stood at 13,000 with the board reading 7♦J♦5♠A♠ and two players remaining in the hand.

The player in the big blind bet out for 5,500. Jorge Carrera was in the under-the-gun position and opted to shove all in for his remaining 12,300. Seemingly too much for Carrera's opponent to call, they mucked their cards and conceded the pot.

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

Thomas Taylor raised in the cutoff before Craig Wilko three-bet to 8,400 in the small blind. The big blind folded and Taylor made the call.

When the 10♦2♦2♠ flop hit the felt, Wilko continued for 6,100, which was called by Taylor.

Wilko continued with aggression when the 6♦ fell on the turn, firing 10,500 into the middle. Taylor paused for a moment and put in the call.

The 8♦ river put the fourth diamond on the board and Wilko slowed down, checking to Taylor who checked back. Wilko tabled A♥J♦ for a flush and dragged the pot as Taylor mucked his hand.

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

A pot of around 40,000 was already in the middle as Yen Dang and Akshay Nasa saw the river on a completed board of 2♥Q♦10♠7♦8♥. Dang then bet another 40,000 as action went on Nasa.

Nasa tanked for several minutes over the decision for most of his remaining stack. Another tablemate, who claimed he had time to head off to the bathroom and come back in the time Nasa took to make his decision, eventually called the clock.

The tournament floor arrived by the table and started counting down before Nasa slammed in a call. Dang showed A♥K♦, while Nasa had J♦J♣ to take down the pot.

"Calling the clock helped you," Nasa's tablemate added after the hand

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

Action was picked up on the river with players three-handed and the board reading 4♥8♣7♥J♦5♣. With about 23,000 in the middle Pamela Balzano had moved all in for approximately 24,500. One of her opponents in middle position folded after a couple minutes and Quinn Do quickly made the call after from the button.

Balzano tabled K♥10♥ for a missed flush draw turned into a bluff while Do had 5♥5♦ for a rivered set of fives to take the pot, sending Balzano to the rail in the process.

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

Brandon Mincher, Robert Gegen, and a late registrant were three-way to a flop of A♥6♠A♠. Mincher and Gegen checked from the blinds before the player on the button bet out 1,400. Mincher made the call and Gegen folded. The 3♥ turn then saw another check-call by Mincher, this time for the amount of 3,000.

The 9♠ river brought a third spade on the board, and this time Mincher chose to lead out instead of check. The bet was 4,000 chips and Mincher's opponent took a moment to think it over. Ultimately, he put in the call but would muck his cards when Mincher showed A♦10♦ for trip aces.

Brandon Mincher	235,000 -58,000	-58,000
