Nível 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Juha Helppi opened to 3,000 from under the gun and Masato Yokosawa three-bet to 10,000 in the cutoff. The action was back on Helppi who four-bet to 26,000 and Yokosawa five-bet all in. Helppi called off his stack of around 65,000 and the cards were on their backs.

Juha Helppi: A♥A♦
Masato Yokosawa: K♥K♣

It was a cooler spot with both players waking up with premium hands. The flop fell K♠10♥5♦ and Yokosawa spiked a set of kings to take the lead. The 4♦ and 7♠ runout changed nothing and Helppi was sent to the rail.

Heads up to a flop of K♣9♥4♦, an opponent checked to Ethan "Rampage" Yau, prompting him to bet 2,000.

His opponent called and the turn peeled the 4♠ and first to act checked again. This time Yau sized up to 10,000 and his opponent did fold.

Yau has mostly been keeping to himself as he grinds away and builds up his stack.

Nível 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

There was a limp from under the gun and Espen Jorstad raised to 6,000 on the button. Koray Aldemir flicked in the last of his 4,000 chips from the big blind and the player under the gun made it 18,000 to go. Jorstad called which created a side pot going to the 6♥4♦2♠ flop.

Jorstad was faced with a bet of 14,000 and he called to see the 6♠ on the turn. His opponent jammed all in on the turn and Jorstad dumped his cards into the muck.

Koray Aldemir: 8♥3♥
Opponent: Q♥Q♣

The river was the 5♥ and Aldemir made a straight to triple up and stay alive.

Nível 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

A completed board of 7♣4♥2♦6♠4♦ was spread across the table with Vanessa Selbst and Kazuhiko Yotsushika heads-up. Selbst checked to Yotsushika who tossed in a bet of 25,000 into a pot of around 35,000. Selbst instantly called and Yotsushika tabled 7♥6♦ for two pair. Selbst showed J♠J♦ for a better two pair as the river paired the board.

Yotsushika thought he won the pot at first until he realized that there was a pair on the board.

"I was just hoping you were bluffing but I guess you were value-betting," Selbst noted about Yotsushika's misread.

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

Evgenii Fidchuk raised to 2,500 under the gun, was called by Maria Ho on his left, and when it folded to Eric "Barstool Nate" in the big blind, he also made the call.

Three ways, they saw the 4♦J♠10♣; they all tapped the table and Fidchuk checked the 4♥ on the turn. Maria Ho went for a bet of 4,000 which was called by Nathan and Fidchuk.

The river brought the 5s and everyone tapped the table again. Nathan turned over 7♠4♠ for the turned trips, saying, "You don't have to write that one down...", as his opponents' hands hit the muck.

The very next hand, Nathan raised the button to 2,100, Fichuk raised him to 8,000 from the small blind and Nathan came back with a raise to 18,000 that garnered him a fold.

Nathan drove the action preflop yet again, but ended up checking down heads up and winning the pot with ace high.

He won one more pot uncontested after that, then raised yet again before the flop but was three bet by his opponent in late position. Yet again they checked it down, but they both showed ace-queen high to chop the pot, making it five hands in a row that Nathan didn't lose a pot.
