Level 5 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Gab Yong Kim raised and earned two callers out of the blinds in Tamas Adamszki and Chris Brewer. Only Adamszki check-called a bet of 20,000 by Kim on the Q♣8♦2♣ flop.

The K♥ turn was checked, as was the A♠ river. Adamski tabled the Q♥7♣ for flopped top pair but Kim's K♠10♦ had turned a superior pair.

Level 5 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Four ways to the K♣J♥3♦ flop, the action checked to Timothy Adams in the cutoff and he bet 13,000. Santhosh Suvarna called in the small blind and Stephen Chidwick then let his thirty second shot clock run down to almost zero before check-raising to 45,000.

It folded to Suvarna who came along and checked again the A♠ turn, Chidwick checked back. Suvarna also checked the 4♣ river and Chidwick's bet of 70,000 earned the pot without resistance or showdown, as Suvarna folded.

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

Stephen Chidwick and Santhosh Suvarna had created a big pot of 224,000 chips when they arrived on the river on 5♥2♦Q♠K♠5♦.

Chidwick then spent one time bank extension before putting enough chips in the middle to put Suvarna all-in. Suvarna, however, thought better of it and quickly added his cards to the muck.

"Oh, Stevie's in the f***ing house!", an excited Nacho Barbero commented after the fact.

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

Daniel Dvoress raised to 10,000 from under the gun, and Stephen Chidwick was the only caller, from the big blind. The two players then both checked on the 10♥4♣8♥ flop, after which Chidwick led out for a hefty 40,000 chips on the 7♣ turn, almost twice the size of the pot.

Dvoress was not deterred, however, and made the call. The A♦ river saw Chidwick slow down with a check, and Dvoress took the opportunity to bet 31,000 chips.

Chidwick did not give it much thought before making the fold, seeing himself dwindle to under the starting stack.

Tamas Adamszki had just lost a medium-sized pot to Adrian Mateos when his Q♦10♦ missed a turned flush draw on the K♠4♦2♣8♦9♣ board. Mateos checked behind the river and won the pot with A♥8♣.

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

Tamas Adamszki open-raised to 10,000 from the hijack, and Quan Zhou called from the button. Adrian Mateos also came along from the big blind and the three saw a flop of 10♦10♥3♥.

Mateos checked to Adamszki, who continued for 13,000. Quan Zhou responded by raising to 33,000 and Mateos swiftly folded. Adamszki, on the other hand, decided to see one more street and made the call.

The 5♠ turn the fell and Adamszki checked. Zhou made a bet of 75,000 chips and this time Adamszki tossed his cards into the muck.
