Nível 10 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Four players saw a flop of 9♠4♠9♦ as John Hennigan bet 40,000 from the hijack and Scott Eskenazi called on the button. Jason Koon, in the small blind, then raised to 95,000 and big blind Justin Liberto got out of the way.

Hennigan also folded, but Eskenazi stuck around to see the K♦ turn. Koon slowed down and checked before Eskenazi fired out 115,000. Koon flung his cards up in the air and into the muck as Eskenazi took down the pot.

"Did I want a spade," he asked Eskenazi. Tablemate Bin Weng claimed he saw the 10♣ in Koon's hand when he mucked.

"You did see a black ten," Koon replied.

Three-handed on a flop of 2♦Q♦5♥, Sam Laskowitz bet 40,000 from under the gun and was called by Sean Winter in the hijack and big blind Axel Hallay.

All three players checked the 3♥ turn as the K♦ fell on the river.

Hallay and Laskowitz checked once again to Winter, who this time fired out 161,000. Hallay used his last time bank card before he called, while Laskowitz frowned and took a last look at his cards before mucking.

Winter turned over 10♦9♦ for a rivered flush to take the pot.
