Action picked up with Blake Whittington having called a middle position player's all in from the small blind.

Blake Whittington: 1010

As the dealer quickly completed the board K78Q8 there were some emotional noises as the all in player had turned a gut shot straight draw but the river proved to be no help and Whittington added to his chip stack as well as scooped a bounty.

First Bounty for Fuchs

Level 3 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

Tom Fuchs kicked off the action with a raise to 800 from under the gun. A player on the button responded with a three-bet to 3,200, prompting Fuchs to go all in. His opponent called, saying, "You got me."

Fuchs revealed AK, while his opponent showed KQ, hoping for a flush or a queen. The board ran out 2710K8, denying the opponent's hopes and giving Fuchs his first bounty of the day.

Koray Aldemir
Koray Aldemir

Koray Aldemir initiated the action with a raise to 800 from middle position. A player in the cutoff responded with a three-bet to 2,300, prompting Wing Po Liu to raise to 9,000, leaving himself just 1,000 behind. Aldemir then made a four-bet to over 30,000, putting everyone else to the test for their stacks. The cutoff player folded and Liu called.

Wing Po Liu: AKAll in
Koray Aldemir: QQ

The 464 flop and 8 turn kept Aldemir in the lead, but the A on the river gave Liu a crucial double-up.
