Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

A player in middle position raised to 1,000 and Xavier Kyablue three-bet to 3,500 on the button. Action folded back to the original raiser, who shoved for approximately 10,000 total. Kyablue snap-called and a showdown was held.

Opponent: 10♣10♥All in
Xavier Kyablue: A♠A♣

The 5♠K♣6♦7♠6♥ runout left Kyablue best with a sweat-free runout and he collected the rest of his opponent's chips.

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Three-handed on a flop of 3♥J♥9♣, AJ Nimer bet 3,200 from the hijack and the button called, as did Vincent Dong in the big blind.

The turn was the 4♦ and Nimer bet 8,000. The button folded, but Dong stuck around to see the A♦ river. Nimer then moved all in for around 55,000.

Dong paused for a moment but soon folded as Nimer took the pot. "I probably had you but gave you the benefit of the doubt. King-jack," Dong said.

Knee Gets Paid and Eliminates Opponent

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Action picked up on the river in a hand between Bruce Knee in the hijack and the player in the cutoff.

With about 20,000 in the pot and the board reading 6♣10♥2♥K♣2♣, Knee fired out a bet large enough to put the cutoff all in, who had roughly 26,000 behind.

After taking some time to think about it, the cutoff put in the call and saw the bad news when Knee tabled the winner with K♠10♠ for two pair, kings and tens. The cutoff mucked his hand and was eliminated.

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Mike Belov opened the action from early position with a raise to 1,200. Lloyd Yamada called in middle position, Neil Han called in the small blind, but Robert Young three-bet to 3,500 from the big blind. The players obliged to the fair price, and all flicked in a call.

The dealer put out 9♦5♦3♣ and action checked to Belov who fired 4,000. Only Yamada made the call.

Belov continued the aggression, wagering 10,000 on the 2♣ turn. Yamada called once more.

Action went check-check on the 7♦ river and Belov rolled over 10♦10♠ to claim the pot.
