Ren Lin opened to 1,000 from middle position and Carter McMahon defended his big blind.

On the Q♦6♣5♣ flop, McMahon check-called a bet of 1,000 from Lin.

McMahon then led on the repeat 5♦ turn for 4,000 and Lin stuck around with a call.

On the 6♦ river, McMahon fired again for 10,000, sending Lin into the tank. After a little over a minute, Lin would compliment his opponent on a nice hand as he flicked in calling chips. McMahon tabled 4♦2♦ for a rivered flush which was good as Lin flinged his cards into the muck.

This table has been selected for the main feature table for the PokerGO stream, where they will be moving on the break. Brian Hastings is also sat at the table with a healthy stack.

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

On a board of 5♠Q♦8♠K♦, Tianyi Ma under the gun bet 3,200 and Matthew Schiavo in the big blind raised all-in for 11,300. Ma went deep into the tank, even asking to the dealer how much he had to add to call. After a minute, he decided to call.

Matthew Schiavo: J♣10♥ All in
Tianyi Ma: A♥K♣

Ma called with top pair but Schiavo had a straight. The 10♦ river changed nothing and Schiavo doubled up.

The action was joined with a full board showing 8♣2♣8♦5♣6♣ and slightly over 50,000 already in the pot.

Christopher Morgan had moved all in, covering his opponent's stack of 33,300, and action was on a tortured Kevin Nathan, who was trying to figure it all out.

After a few minutes had passed, Morgan called the clock on Nathan, and the floor staff were duly summoned to uphold the request.

"Clock? Already?" Nathan asked. "It's been three or four minutes now, was Morgan's retort.

Nathan didn't seem to dispute this fact, and the floor staff started the countdown.

As the clock struck zero, Nathan pitched his cards back to the dealer, surrendering the pot to his tablemate.

Rajdeep Gill made it 1,200 from early position before Paul Staples jammed his last 11,400 in from the next seat. Miguel Gutierrez cold called from the cutoff, forcing everyone else to fold.

Paul Staples: A♠9♠ All in
Miguel Gutierrez: Q♦Q♠

Staples needed some spades or an ace to beat the pocket queens of Gutierrez. The dealer produced a board of J♥J♣4♦4♠6♣, and Staples was out of the Main Event.

Hung-Wei Shiue and Mathieu Leglehuir had a tense battle of the button versus the small blind.

The two went to the flop with 13,000 chips in thanks to Shiue's three-bet.

The board fell 6♠5♦Q♣. Shiue bet 4,500 from the button, Leglehuir called.

The turn brought the 5♠, pairing the board. Shiue fired again, this time 6,500. Leglehuir made another call.

The 6♦ on the river paired the board a second time, and Shiue raised the betting level significantly, putting three green chips out for a bet of 75,000.

Leglehuir folded.

Craig Waikem raised to 2,000 in the hijack, and Jungsoo Bin answered with a three-bet to 5,000 on the button. Patrick Lyons then four-bet to 15,000 in the big blind, producing a fold from Waikem.

Bin took some time before making the call, and was quickly facing a bet of 50,000 from Lyons on the J♦7♥J♠ flop. Bin slid his cards to the dealer, and Waikem remarked that he folded a jack as Lyons took down the pot.

Daisuke Sawayama from the small blind and James Chen from under the gun had created a pot of around 13,000 going into the river with the completed board reading Q♠10♠3♠A♦J♥.

Chen had a bet of 17,000 in front of him before Sawayama just called, which caused quite the confusion once the hands were revealed.

James Chen: K♠J♠
Daisuke Sawayama: A♠6♠

Both players had flopped a flush with Sawayama having the best of it. Sawayama still held the stone-cold nuts on the river, despite just calling the bet from Chen. The entire tabled watched in confusion at the situation, as Chen was the one breathing a sigh of relief after getting off easy with the second nuts.

After Mykola Kostyrko checked from the big blind on a flop of 5♦Q♣2♣, Brian Rast put out a bet from early position, with Russell Sartin calling from the hijack. Kostyrko check-raised to 7,300, which only Rast called.

Upon seeing the J♣ turn, Kostyrko paused for a long time before checking the action over to Rast, who checked behind.

The A♠ river got another check from Kostyrko, but Rast bet 12,300. Kostyrko deliberated for a while before ultimately folding and allowing Rast to drag in the pot.
