The flop of 6♥5♥7♣ gave Kisacikoglu a straight draw and the 4♦ turn gave him the straight to have Foxen drawing to just a chop before the 3♣ river confirmed a double for the Turk.

Nível 20 : Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante

Seth Gottlieb shoved from the small blind for Jason Koon to snap-call from the big blind for the 2,450,000 he had behind.

"Uh oh! Oops!" Gottlieb blurted out before Koon even revealed his cards for the rest of the table to laugh.

Jason Koon: 8♥8♣
Seth Gottlieb: 4♣3♥

The board ran out clean with the 9♦J♥7♥5♦3♠ for Koon to hold with his pocket eights to double up.

Nível 20 : Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante

Orpen Kisacikoglu opened to 600,000 in the cutoff and Jason Koon three-bet jammed a stack of 5,200,000 in the small blind. Kisacikoglu called with a bigger stack.

Jason Koon: Q♣10♣
Orpen Kisacikoglu: 8♦8♠

A ten in the window was little help to Koon as the flop fanned 10♦8♣A♥ to give Kisacikoglu a set before the 8♥ turn improved Kisacikoglu to quads. The 6♥ river was a formality that confirmed the Game of Gold star's elimination in fourth place.

Erik Seidel raised to 600,000 from the button and Seth Gottlieb defended his big blind.

They both checked through the A♦K♦3♣ on the flop to the 6♦ on the turn. Gottlieb check-raised the 900,000 continuation-bet of Seidel to 2,500,000 which was called.

The river completed the board with the 4♣ and they both checked for the final time. Gottlieb tabled the K♣9♠ for a pair of kings but Seidel showed the A♠9♣ for top pair and the pot.

Nível 20 : Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante

Seth Gottlieb opened to 1,200,000 in the small blind and Erik Seidel called in the big blind.

Gottlieb checked on the K♦ river and Seidel checked back. "I think you win," Gottlieb said as he showed 9♠9♣, which indeed was no good against the A♠10♠ of Seidel for a pair of aces.
