Wazwaz Pots Turn
Level 2
: Blinds 200/300, 300 ante
The table joked about playing a large hand before a player in middle position opened the action to 1,000 and got three calls including the cutoff, Rob Wazwaz in the small blind, and the big blind player.
The flop came 4♣2♣K♥ and action checked to the cutoff player who bet 2,100. Wazwaz then made it 10,400 before the big blind and middle position player got out of the way.
The turn A♥ saw Wazwaz lead for a pot sized bet of 25,100. The cutoff folded after a significant tank, asking what Wazwaz held. Wazwaz responded by showing the 3♣ and saying he had a flush and straight draw.

No Showdown for Sabishchenko
Level 2
: Blinds 200/300, 300 ante
Scott Ball opened 700 in the hijack, and Thomas Morrison called in the cutoff before Rostyslav Sabishchenko came along in the big blind.
The dealer fanned a flop of 9♣7♥3♥, and both Sabishchenko and Ball check-called a bet of 2,000 from Morrison.
When the 9♠ hit the turn, Sabishchenko took the lead, firing 2,000. Only Ball made the call.
The 3♦ completed the board, and Sabishchenko dropped a bet of 5,000 across the line, which was good enough to earn the pot as Ball mucked his hand.

Grech Drags Multi-Way Pot
Level 3
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Six players put 1,700 each in the middle to see the Q♦5♦2♥ flop, and the action quickly checked around.
The J♣ hit the turn, and both Darren Kennedy and Zachary Grech checked before the under-the-gun player dropped 5,000 across the line. The action folded back around to Kennedy who made the call, as did Grech.
When the 4♣ completed the board, Kennedy checked and Grech splashed a bet of 17,800 across the line. The under-the-gun player quickly folded, and Kennedy thought about it for about 20 seconds before doing the same.
Grech pretended to wipe some sweat off of his forehead and mucked his hand.
