In one of the last hands from Level 5, Steve Gross opened for 500 from early position and Sylvain Loosli pushed back with a three-bet to 1,250 from middle position. When action reached the player in the big blind, he opted for a four-bet to 2,750, which inspired Gross to fold. Loosli opted to come along and it was heads-up action to the flop.
The big blind led out for 2,500 and then snap-called off for 7,200 total when Loosli moved all in.

Zimnan Ziyard is down to only 725 chips after a hand with Steven Kerr cost him basically everything he had.
Kerr had led for 3,000 into an 8,200 pot on the river of the board and Ziyard raised to 8,500 leaving only a couple of thousand chips behind. Kerr moved all-in and Ziyard tank-called.
Ziyard: for top pair.
Kerr: for trip deuces.
Listening to the table talk after the hand it appears Kerr check-called both the flop and turn before leading on the river.

Peters:
Both players had flopped a flush draw, but of course Peters' ace was best. The turn was of no consequence, but the river was, as Pollak paired up to keep his tournament life alive and crippled Peters in the process.
