Niveau 14 : 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

All of the chips went in the middle before the flop, and Patrick Leonard was at risk for his last 38,000 against Eshaan "BrownBalla" Bhalla.

Patrick Leonard : A♣A♦6♣5♣ All in
Eshaan Bhalla: K♣K♥J♣4♦

The Q♦10♦4♠ flop was a sweat as Bhalla flopped an open-ended straight draw. The 9♠ turn improved Bhalla to a straight, leaving Leonard drawing dead, and the Q♠ river was just a formality as Leonard exited the table.

Dan Zack: 10♥10♦8♦5♥ All in
Matthew Wantman: A♦Q♥J♦7♣ All in

Niveau 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Martin Zamani was in a heads-up pot on a flop of A♣J♥Q♠ and put his opponent all in for 11,400.

Opponent: A♦K♠5♣5♠ All in
Martin Zamani: A♥Q♣4♦2♣

Zamani was ahead with two pair, but the 10♣ turn gave his opponent Broadway before the 2♦ river confirmed his double. Zamani was left short after the hand but was unfazed debated with the player next to him how far ahead he was.

"70-30," the player said.

"50-50," countered Zamani.

Feigning ignorance about poker equities, Robert Cowen commented dryly across the table, "You win or you lose."

Not long after, Zamani's seat was seen empty.

Niveau 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

There was a raise to 1,500 in early position, Jared Bleznick called in the cutoff, and Zachary Schwartz three-bet to 6,800 from the button. Both the early position raiser and Bleznick made the call.

All three players checked to the Q♠J♥J♣J♦ turn, where the early position raiser fired out 5,000. Bleznick quickly got out of the way, while Schwartz made the call.

The A♥ completed the board, and the early position player moved all-in for his last 7,000. Schwartz wasted little time tossing in a chip to make the call.

The all-in player attempted to muck his hand, pitching it into the center of the table but the dealer quickly tabled his K♥9♥5♥2♦, and Schwartz took down the pot with A♦K♦K♠5♠.

Jesse Lonis: A♦Q♠7♦5♥
