Level 9 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 0 ante

Marko Grujic

Marko Grujic shoved on the button and a short-stacked Alex Foxen called all in for approximately 20,000 to put himself at risk.

Alex Foxen: Q♣7♠ All in
Marko Grujic: K♦3♦

Foxen would need some help, but the 6♥J♥4♥6♠9♣ runout kept Grujic ahead with his king and Foxen was eliminated.

At another table, Kane Kalas had a bet of 5,800 in front of him on a completed board of 5♠K♦6♥J♠Q♥. Brandon Brown then shoved, which was enough to put Kalas all in for his last 60,000.

Kalas thought it over, but eventually made the call and Brown turned over 7♦4♠ for a whiffed straight draw.

Kalas tabled K♠3♥ for a pair of kings and was awarded the double up.

Level 9 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 0 ante

On a board of J♦A♣6♦9♦, Matthew Wantman check-called a 16,000 bet from Linglin Zeng.

The 5♥ filled the river and Wantman checked a final time. Zeng bet enough to put Wantman all in for his last 60,000.

Wantman studied Zeng for some time before committing the rest of his stack into the middle. Zeng could only show K♠3♦ for a king-high and Wantman turned over J♠10♦ for a pair of jacks for the double up.

Nick Schulman jammed for around 42,000 from the button and Michael Steele called from the big blind.

Nick Schulman: AxJ♦ All in
Michael Steele: 7♦7♣

Schulman added a plethora outs on the Q♦10♦9♦ flop, having an open-ended straight flush draw to go along with his overcards.

Miraculously, Steele's pocket pair remained best as the board bricked out with the 2♥2♣.

Level 6 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 0 ante

Linglin Zeng opened to 5,000 on the button and was three-bet to 18,000 by Matthew Wantman. Zeng called.

Wantman eventually thought better of it and laid his hand down.
