Nível 5 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Sean Winter under the gun and an opponent in the big blind built a pot of around 120,000 heading to the river on a board of K♦J♣8♦5♦2♣. Winter moved all in and his opponent called for their last 85,000.

Winter turned over A♦8♦ for a flush as the all-in player mucked his cards and headed for the exit.

"I turned around and next thing I knew you were all in. Did he do the betting or did you," tablemate Isaac Haxton asked.

"We both did a lot of betting," Winter replied.

Ren Lin put in a reraise to 20,000 from the button as action folded to big blind Thomas Boivin, who shoved all in for 102,000. Andrew Lichtenberger, under the gun, then reshoved for 96,000.

"Ay, ay, ay," Lin said as he went into the tank. "Ace-king, ace-king," he asked before eventually folding what he said were pocket nines.

Andrew Lichtenberger: Q♥Q♠
Thomas Boivin: A♦K♥

Boivin and Lichtenberger found themselves in a classic race situation, one in which Lichtenberger would come out in front as the board came J♠2♥7♣7♠2♦ to earn him the double up and leave Boivin on an extreme short stack.

Heads-up on a board of A♣A♦3♣7♦, Lewis Spencer bet 36,000 from the button and Mitchell Halverson called in the big blind.

The river came the 9♠ and Halverson checked to Spencer again, and this time he moved all in. Halverson, with around 185,000 remaining, gave it some thought before mucking his hand.

Jason Koon and Erik Seidel also share this table.

Nível 5 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

After the previous hand, when Jonathan Jaffe's trip kings knocked Darren Elias' stack down to 10,000, Elias moved all in from the cutoff.

Stephen Song called from the button, and Joseph Cheong followed suit from the big blind.

Both remaining players checked the A♥K♣10♦ flop as well as the 2♠ turn. When the K♦ hit the river, Cheong led out for 15,000 and Song called. When Cheong flipped over the K♠8♣, both Song and Elias mucked, and Elias' first bullet was spent.

An under-the-gun player was all in for 104,000 and up against Keith Lehr in the cutoff.

Under-the-gun: A♥Q♣
Keith Lehr: 9♥9♣

The two players were off to the races as the board came K♥7♠8♣7♦10♥, keeping Lehr's nines in front and ending his opponent to the rail.

"First race I've won in a long f**king time," Lehr said as he took in the pot.

"Wins the pot and is complaining," someone said from the rail.

"I said I hadn't won a race in a long time. How is that complaining? I'm ecstatic," Lehr replied.

Linglin Zeng three-bet to 30,000 from the small blind and Kitty Kuo came along on the button as they went heads-up to a Q♦3♠A♠ flop.

Zeng slowed down and checked as Kuo bet 40,000. Zeng called to see the 6♥ turn and checked over to Kuo again, who this time moved all in for 134,000.

Zeng used up several time bank chips before she called with K♣Q♠ for a pair of queens. Kuo turned over A♦J♣ for top pair and stayed in front on the J♥ river to earn the double up.
