Niveau 3
: 150/300, 25 ante
The ESPN feature tables kicked off at the start of Level 3 and among those to take a seat in the main spotlight were Jean Montury, Lacey Jones, defending champion Scott Blumstein, and Brian Yoon. The latter two tangled in a big pot that left the defending champion devastated, as he was sent to the rail early on.
Blumstein raised to 800 and Yoon three-bet to 3,700 in late position, which Blumstein called. On the 
flop, Blumstein check-called a bet of 3,000 and did so again on the 
turn for 10,000. The 
appeared on the river and Blumstein checked with 27,350 behind. Yoon moved all in and Blumstein called it off with the 
only for Yoon to turn over 
for the back door nut flush.
