Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Ryan Garcia had been knocked down to just 7,000 when he moved all in against Harish Ananthapadmanabha.

Ryan Garcia: 10♥10♦
Harish Ananthapadmanabha: K♣J♦

"In life I'm doing good. In this, not so much," Garcia said heading to the flop, which came A♦5♠9♣ and kept him in the lead. The board ran out 8♥10♠ and Garcia finished with a set to double up.

"You don't mind that. Got something to play with now. Almost," Garcia said as he moved all in the next hand as well but got no callers and collected the blinds and ante.

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Jason Mercier raised 4,000 in the cutoff and Dean Sanderson called in the small blind.

"Round seven," joked Mercier as the dealer fanned a flop of Q♦8♥3♦.

Sanderson check-called a bet of 5,000 and the 4♣ hit the turn.

Sanderson checked once more before Mercier fired a bet of 16,000, and that was enough for Sanderson to give it up.

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

The pot stood at approximately 36,000 with three players looking at a board that read Q♦9♥K♣.

Both the player in the small blind and a player in early position checked the action over to Xuan Nguyen in the cutoff who bet out 12,000. The small blind raised to 26,000, the player in early position got out of the way and Nguyen made the call.

The 6♦ fell on the turn and the small blind slowed down. Action on Nguyen, he bet out 35,000. The small blind put Nguyen all in for approximately 20,000 chips more and Nguyen made the call.

Xuan Nguyen: J♠10♠
Small Blind: Q♠9♠

The 10♥ river failed to pair the board and Nguyen's king-high straight took down this massive pot.

The player in early position admitted to the table that they in fact folded Q♣9♣.

Dan O'Hair

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

The player first-to-act raised to 4,000 and was called by Rene Nezhoda in early position, the player on the button, and the player in the small blind.

Action checked to Nezhoda on the Q♣9♣4♦ flop and he bet 7,000. It was folded back to the small blind, who check-raised to 24,500. Only Nezhoda called.

The 2♠ fell on the turn and Nezhoda called a 28,000 bet from his opponent.

The small blind bet 25,000 when the 4♣ completed the board and Nezhoda said, "I hope you have queen-nine," as he stuck in a call. His opponent did indeed have Qx9x and Nezhoda took down the large pot with AxAx for aces and fours.

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

The player under the gun open-raised to 4,500 and the player in the next seat over put out a three-bet to 12,500. Ana Marquez was on the button and went all-in for 33,000, garnering a fold from the under the gun player.

Her remaining opponent thought about it for a bit, but ultimately concluded that it was "just enough for a fold."

"Why fold?" asked Marquez, tabling her A♥A♣. Her opponent laughed and said he had A♠10♠.

Andrew Knowles

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

An under-the-gun player opened for 4,500 and both the cutoff and Steven Kahlenberg on the button made the call.

On the flop of A♣K♠8♥, the initial raiser continued for 4,500 and only Kahlenberg called. The 8♠ turn slowed both players down with a check to the 4♦ river.

The under-the-gun player checked again and Kahlenberg came with a size of 18,000. His opponent quickly let his cards go and the pot was shipped to Kahlenberg without showdown.

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Ebony Kenney opened 4,500 in middle position and Alan Sabok called on the button before the big blind defended.

The dealer fanned a flop of K♠10♦2♥, and all three players quickly checked.

When the 4♥ hit the turn, the big blind led out for 6,000 and only Kenney called.

The 5♠ completed the board, and the big blind slowed down with a check. Kenney fired 9,500 and her opponents cards whipped into the muck.

Lance Steinberg is at the same table and building a healthy stack.

Cottrell van Wingerden

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

A player in the small blind moved all in and Adrian State called off for his last few chips in the big blind.

Adrian State: A♠A♣
Small Blind Player: A♥8♥

State was way ahead and in a good spot to score the double. The flop came K♦10♥6♥ to leave the rockets vulnerable and shot down they were after the 7♥ hit the felt on the turn. The Romanian pro was already leaving his seat as the 9♣ river completed the board and wished his fellow players good luck before making his exit.
