Niveau 1 : Blinds 100/100, 100 ante

Hand One:

The action was caught with two players looking at a board of 3♠Q♠5♣4♥. Dara O'Kearney, in the big blind, checked the action to Billy Baxter, who was under the gun. Baxter bet out 1,000 and O'Kearney check-raised to 5,100. Baxter moved all in for O'Kearney's effective stack of 29,300 and O'Kearney called.

Dara O'Kearney: A♥2♥ All in
Billy Baxter: 4♠4♦

The action turn gave the Hall of Famer a set while O'Kearney held the wheel. The 9♥ river failed to pair the board and Baxter was left with dust.

Hand Two:

With Baxter short, the button and cutoff both limped in. Baxter moved all in for his last 700, from the small blind. Adam Croffut, in the big blind, moved all in for his starting stack of 30,000 and both the limpers folded.

Billy Baxter: J♦9♠ All in
Adam Croffut: 10♣6♦

Baxter was ahead, but the 3♥2♣5♥4♣4♥ runout saw Croffut make a straight to send him to the rail. Croffut claimed Baxter's bounty for $2,006.

Niveau 3 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

Four players saw the flop of 9♦J♦3♥. 6,300 chips were already in the middle when Artem Metalidi bet out 3,000 from the big blind. Chris Walach, who was under the gun, raised to 6,000. Nam Nguyen cold-called the raise from early position. Hall of Famer Jack McClelland then went all in from the button for around 33,000 chips.

Metalidi thought for quite a while before throwing in the call for his entire stack of around 28,000 chips. Walach had much less behind and called as well. Nguyen then said: “Gamble!” and put her chips in the middle as well. She had all the players covered and was the only one in play for McClelland’s bounty.

Chris Walach: Q♠Q♦ All in
Artem Metalidi: 10♦8♦ All in
Jack McClelland: 9♠9♥ All in
Nam Nguyen: A♦J♣

McClelland was ahead with a set of nines, while Walach had the overpair with queens. Nguyen had top pair top kicker and Metalidi was in with the open-ended straight flush draw.

The turn was the A♠, bringing in some outs for Nguyen, as she could make a full house with an ace or a jack.

The river, however, was the 3♣ and McClelland’s set held up. Walach and Metalidi were eliminated, while McClelland chipped-up to a massive stack of over 400 big blinds, making it a very long road ahead of anyone hoping to win his bounty.

Rocco Lazazzaro: K♣Q♠ All in
Luther Tran: A♥K♦

Niveau 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Mario Lopez on the button and Tudor Bartha in the small blind got it all in preflop. Bartha was the shorter stack with less than 15 big blinds.

Tudor Bartha: A♥A♦ All in
Mario Lopez: K♥Q♣

The flop came 4♦K♣5♥ and Bartha was still ahead. The turn K♠, however, changed everything, giving Lopez trips and having Bartha draw to two outs. They did not come, the river was the 8♦, and Bartha’s tournament was over.

Niveau 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

The action was caught with approximately 17,500 in the middle with three players looking at a flop of J♦8♠3♦.

Both the hijack and Kenneth Kim, in the cutoff, checked the action to the button, who bet out 7,000. The hijack called and Kim check-raised making it 35,000 to go. The button folded and the hijack called off the bet for his effective stack and tournament life.

Hijack: 10♦9♥ All in
Kenneth Kim: K♥J♠

Kim was ahead with top pair while the hijack was open-ended. The 2♠ turn and 9♣ river failed to improve the hijack's draw and he was sent to the rail.

Niveau 10 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

According to the players, the hand started with a limp by Santiago Plante from the middle position, which was followed by a call from Phil Hellmuth in the hijack. The button also called, as did the small blind. The big blind checked his option.

The flop came Q♦J♦5♥. The small blind checked and the big blind went all in for 7,500 chips. Plante then went over the top, all in for 24,000 chips, and Hellmuth called all in for 20,000 chips. The button and small blind folded.

Big blind: Q♠7♠ All in
Phil Hellmuth: Q♣J♣ All in
Santiago Plante: A♦4♦

Hellmuth had the best of it on the flop with top two pair; the short-stacked big blind was way behind and needed running sevens, while Plante was very live with the nut flush draw.

The turn 9♠ still looked like Hellmuth, but the 5♦ on the river brought in Plante’s flush. Hellmuth took the beat well, wished the table good luck and hit the rail.

Niveau 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Scotty Nguyen moved all in for 13,500 from the hijack, the cutoff moved all in for 33,000 and Atanas Kavrakov, in the big blind, went into the tank. With a $2,012 bounty on the line, Kavrakov made the call.

Scotty Nguyen: K♥J♠ All in
Cutoff: A♣8♠ All in
Atanas Kavrakov: K♦4♥

Every player at the table not involved in the hand started to call for a jack to keep both Nguyen and their own bounty interests alive. The J♣9♦2♦ flop saw Nguyen take the lead and the table erupted into cheer.

The J♥ river confirmed Nguyen's triple up. The neutral players at the table got up and out of their seats to high-five Nguyen. The 4♣ river saw Kavrakov win the side pot to ensure he didn't lose any chips during the hand while also eliminating the cutoff.

Niveau 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

The pot stood at approximately 30,500 with two players looking at a full board of 6♦5♦4♥5♣J♠.

Matthias Lipp, in the big blind, placed a wager large enough to put his opponent, Jamil Wakil, in early position all in for his effective stack of approximately 25,500. Wakil went deep into the tank, thinking for some time before making the call.

Jamil Wakil: A♦K♠ All in
Matthias Lipp: 6♥5♠

This big blind special saw Lipp turn a full house, besting the hero call of Wakil, sending him to the rail.
