Niveau 16 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

The flop was K♠9♥6♠. Ben Palmer in the small blind, the player in the big blind, and the player in middle position all decided to check and see the turn.

The turn was revealed as 6♣ Palmer and the big blind checked once again before the player in the middle position bet 10,000. Palmer responded with a raise of 23,000. The big blind folded, and the player in the middle position made the call to go heads-up.

The river card completed the board with Q♠, and Palmer bet 32,000. The middle position called only to muck his cards after Palmer revealed his hand 9♠6♦ to claim the pot with a full house.

There was an all in for 37,500 and the button called before Ian Richardson jammed all in for more than 500,000 in the big blind. The button went deep in the tank for about three minutes before the clock was called. The tournament director gave the button 30 seconds and before the time ran out, the button folded 6x6x face-up.

Ian Richardson: A♦K♣
All-in player: Q♥J♦

The board ran out 7♠4♥3♦9♥5♦, for Richardson's ace-king to hold. However, the button would have made a straight with his sixes.

Jacob Switzer raised under the gun to 12,000, Mark Seif three-bet from the button to 60,000 and Switzer called, leaving himself just 24,000 behind.

Aware of how short Switzer was going into the flop, Seif looked away from the felt and up at the screen playing the streamed main event. Switzer put in his remaining 24,000 on a flop of Q♥2♣J♥ and Seif snap-called without looking at the board.

Jacob Switzer: Q♦J♦
Mark Seif: A♥K♦

The turn and river came the 4♣ and A♦ respectively and Switzer found the double.

Niveau 15 : Blinds 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

There was a raise to 9,000 in early position before Soeren Baekgaard Hansen three-bet 24,000 on the button. The action folded back around to the original raiser and he made the call.

The dealer fanned a flop of A♠9♥5♣, and both players checked to see the 7♣ turn.

The early position player checked once again, and Hansen fired out a bet of 18,000. The early position player took about 30 seconds before making the call.

The 9♣ fell on the river, and once checked to, Hansen fired again, this time for 40,000.

The early position player started talking aloud, "I almost didn't even call the 18,000 on the turn. I know you hit the ace, you almost jumped out of your chair."

Hasen nodded silently.

Eventually, Hansen's opponent folded, as he said, "Show the bluff, make me look dumb."

Hansen opted not to show as he pushed forward his cards and collected the pot.
