Livello 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Yuval Bronshtein opened to 4,200 from under the gun, and called when the small blind made it 13,800.

The small blind continued for 15,000 on the A♥K♥2♣ flop. Bronshtein mulled over his options before open folding AxKxJx9x, which was good for top two pair.

"Wow," chimed Justin Young.

"Does this guy play anything other aces?" asked Bronstein.

"Well, what were you hoping for?" replied Young.

"Not an ace," Bronstein laughed before the next hand began.

Livello 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Three players were looking at a board of 6♥9♣K♣. The big blind checked the action to the player under the gun who bet out 5,000. Only Jake Schindler on the button called.

The turn came the 8♣ and Schindler called a second bet of 6,000 from his opponent.

The 4♥ river saw the under-the-gun player check, and after much deliberation, Schindler looked pained as also checked back.

Jake Schindler: J♣10♦9♦3♣

Livello 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Action was picked up just before the turn with the board reading 5♠3♥6♦ and Phil Laak all in and at risk against Youness Barakat

Phil Laak: A♣Q♠Q♦4♣
Youness Barakat: K♥K♣9♠8♥

Laak's overpair and gutshot straight draw were in bad shape against Barakat's higher overpair and gutshot straight draw. The 8♠ turn and J♣ river offered Laak no improvement, resulting in his elimination from the tournament.

Laak and Barakat shook hands as Laak was leaving the table in a show of respect between the two players.

Ari Engel: A♥J♥J♠8♦
Alex Livingston: A♣K♣9♠7♣

Engel was behind with an inferior ace and found no help on the 10♥ turn. The 8♠ river gave Livingston a straight to send out the two-time bracelet winner.

Livello 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Ren Lin raised to 2,500 from the cutoff and received calls from players in the small and big blinds.

All three players checked the 6♠5♥7♣ flop leading to the K♣ on the turn. The player in the small blind bet 3,000 and received a call from both opponents.

The river was the 5♣ and the player in the small blind fired again for 14,000. The player in the big blind folded before Lin moved all in with a covering stack. His opponent made the call.

Small Blind: Q♥J♦6♦6♥
Ren Lin: K♥K♦8♥7♠

Both players had flopped a set and rivered a full house, with Lin being on the right side of the cooler with pocket kings over his opponent's pocket sixes. The player in the small blind was sent to the rail and Lin took down a sizable pot.

A player in early position raised to 3,000 and Alex Foxen defended out of the big blind.

The 3♥ on the turn checked through to the A♥ on the river. Foxen placed a bet of 31,500 and his opponent begrudgingly called.
