Level 30 : Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

Bradley McFarland raised to 360,000 on the button and Nick Kocman defended in the big blind.

The flop came 2?6?4? and Kocman check-called a bet of 425,000 from McFarland.

The turn landed the J? and Kocman checked again. McFarland sized up with a bet of 1,500,000 and after some thought, Kocman tossed his cards into the muck.

Level 30 : Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

Lara Eisenberg raised to 320,000 from the hijack, before Bradley McFarland three-bet all in for 2,150,000. It folded to the big blind Eric Florczak who four-bet all in, which got Eisenberg to quickly fold, leaving the two players heads up.

Bradley McFarland: 4?4? All in
Eric Florczak: A?K?

McFarland had the best with his pocket fours but would have to fade the two overs from Florczak. But after the board ran out 2?10?4?6?9? McFarland improved to a set of fours and secured the double up.

Action folded to Alan Gendelman on the button, and he raised to 250,000. When it folded to the big blind Michael Zazzera, he three-bet all in for 1.750,000, and Gendelman snap called to put Zazzera at risk.

Michael Zazzera: A?J? All in
Alan Gendelman: Q?Q?

Zazzera ran into the pocket queens of Gendelman, and after the 6?8?Q? flop he would need running cards to beat the set of queens for Gendelman. The 9? on the turn kept Zazzera alive, needing a 10 to make a straight. But the K? on the river officially eliminated Zazzera in sixth place.

"No queen," said Zazzera as the dealer put out the queen-high flop of 6?10?Q?. The turn landed the 9?, with Kocman still in the lead, but the river brought the K?, giving Zazzera the nut straight.
