Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Mihai Dimcea raised to 1,400 in early position, Spencer Heckwolf on his direct left called, David Kluchman called on the button, but then Kuo Chang three-bet from the big blind to 7,000. Dimcea folded but both Heckwold and Kluchman made the call.

The flop came 9♠3♦2♣. Action checked to Kluchman who fired out a bet of 5,000 and Chang was the only caller.

Both players decided to check on the A♠ turn, then Kluchman bet 10,000 on the 6♠ river which generated a quick fold from Chang.

The table asked him to show a bluff, so Kluchman decided to flash the Q♣.

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

James Mitich raised to 1,000 in early position, which only David Boyaciyan called in the small blind.

Boyaciyan check-called a bet of 1,000 on a 9♥8♥8♣ flop, and check-called another bet of 2,000 on the J♠ turn.

The Q♠ river saw Boyaciyan check for a third time, but this time, when Mitich bet 3,000, Boyaciyan check-raised to 8,500. Mitich wasted no time at all in calling, and, when Boyaciyan tabled A♣Q♦, Mitich flipped over A♠Q♥ to claim half of the pot.

Roberto Bianchi limped from early position before Rumen Nanev made it 1,500 on the button. Ramakrishnam Gadhiraju wanted to play for more and chose to three-bet to 4,500 from the small blind. Bianchi and Nanev both made the call.

The 4♣7♦Q♦ flop led to a bet of 6,100 from Gadhiraju for 6,100. Bianchi folded, but Nanev made the call.

Gadhiraju kept up the betting with a wager of 7,500 on the 4♦ turn. Bianchi gave it consideration before he folded to award the pot to Gadhiraju.

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Wooram Cho from the small blind and Jason Luna from the big blind were tangled in a pot with just under 25,000 in the middle on a completed board of Q♠8♥3♦A♦K♠.

Cho tossed out three green T-25,000 chips to ask for Luna's entire stack of 45,400, a large overbet, sending Luna deep into the tank as he talked through it all.

"We were friends Wooram, I complimented your Kobes."

"Set of threes? I'm calling it. You have a set of threes. I have two very good pair."

Cho gave nothing away as Luna continued to ramble.

"My wife is gonna beat me if I come home this early," he joked before he eventually announced a fold, tossing A♠8♦ face up into the muck.

"Want to choose one?" Cho offered, to which Luna happily obliged, pointing to a card that Cho flipped up, which was the 3♥.

"Put that on the internet!" Luna celebrated, "I called that sh*t!"

Dylan Smith raised to 1,000 in middle position. Alex Keating responded with a three-bet to 3,500, which Smith four-bet to 10,500.

"Don't walk away from this table," Xiang Zou then told PokerNews. "The action is crazy."

"Yeah, it's scintillating," George Konkle added.

Keating called shortly after, seeing Smith continue for 6,000 on the 8♣9♠10♦ flop. Keating called to the 3♠ turn, where Smith slowed down and checked.

Keating took the initiative with a bet of 11,000, and Smith called. The 10♠ river then checked to showdown, where Smith's J♦J♣ was enough to rake in the sizable pot.

A series of raises between Lawrence Brandt from under the gun and Naoto Takeya on the button led to each player putting 19,500 each into the pot.

The flop came J♥7♥4♠ before Takeya bet 15,600. Lawrence Brandt gave it some consideration before he went all in for 53,300 in response. Takeya made the call to put Brandt at risk.

Lawrence Brandt: 6♥5♥All in
Naoto Takeya: K♥K♣

Brandt was loaded with outs as Takeya's kings needed to dodge several cards to hold.

It didn't take long for Brandt to get there when the 8♥ hit the turn to give him the flush.

Brandt wasn't out of the weeds yet, as Takeya could hit a heart on the river to hit a bigger flush.

That did not come to pass on the Q♦ river as Brandt doubled up through Takeya to cross the six-figure mark.

With around 13,000 in the middle on a completed board of 10♦2♠4♠6♥J♦, Victor Li checked out of the hijack and faced a 6,600 bet from Safiya Umerova in the cutoff.

Li pondered for a while before tossing in the call. Umerova tabled A♥10♠ for second pair, and Li couldn't beat it, so Umerova dragged in the pot.

Stacy Sesate raised to 1,000 under the gun, which Mitchell Johnson and Hai Nguyen called in the hijack and on the button. Kazuki Sogabe then three-bet to 3,500 in the small blind, which all three of his opponents called.

Sogabe continued for another 3,000 on a J♥7♦5♥ flop, which shook out Sesate and Mitchell, but Nguyen called.

There was no slowing Sogabe down on the 10♠ turn, as he bet another 7,000. This time, Nguyen tossed his cards back to the dealer, and Sogabe won the pot.
