Niveau 9 : Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Action was picked up on the J♥4♣7♠ flop, where the 1993 WSOP Main Event winner Jim Bechtel was already all in. No less than three players had already called for all of his chips, making for a main pot of over 40,000 chips. According to the players, Max Kingstone, who was in the small blind, bet out for 7,000 on the flop, and the players in the big blind and middle position both called.

The turn 4♥ was checked around.

The river was the A♠. Kingstone now made a bet of 30,000, forcing his other two opponents to fold. Kingstone and Bechtel then turned over their cards:

Jim Bechtel: 10♥8♥
Max Kingstone; 5♦5♠

Bechtel failed to make anything good with his suited one-gapper, and pocket fives were enough to eliminate the former champ.

Niveau 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Anson Tsang was all in for around 16,000 chips and was called by the player on the button and Bob Zeidman in the big blind.

On the A♣5♦5♣ flop, Zeidman check-called a bet of 10,000 from the button.

An A♦ landed on the turn which was checked through to the Q♦ river. Zeidman led out for 25,000, and the button made a quick call.

Zeidman tabled 5♠5♥ for flopped quads, which eliminated Tsang who held K♣J♣, and got the button to muck A♥K♦ face up.

Niveau 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

A player in the cutoff was all in for his last 47,000 as reigning world champion Daniel Weinman put him at risk from the small blind.

Daniel Weinman: A♥K♥

With fellow "Team Lucky" member Shaun Deeb watching on from the rail, the flop came 3♥K♣4♥ to give Weinman top pair and the nut flush draw.

"That's good," Deeb said, heading to the 10♦ turn. The river was the 6♥. "Just the nuts," Deeb added as Weinman made his flush to send his opponent to the rail.

"I've never lost an all-in with you watching," Weinman told Deeb as he stacked up the pot.
