[user339872]

Nível 4 : 600/1,200, 0 ante

Picking up the action on the river with a completed board of Q♠8♠2♥4♦4♥, the action was on Chance Kornuth who shipped all in into a pot of around 15,000. Jeremiah Williams had a stack of around 45,000 in front of him and went into the tank for a minute.

"I have a pretty good hand to call with," Williams announced as he pondered his decision. He eventually stuck in some chips to call and Kornuth turned over 8♥4♠ for a full house to send Williams to the rail.

Sullivan Overcomes Zack's Intimidation Factor

Nível 4 : 600/1,200, 0 ante

"You're a pretty intimidating guy for such a small stature," Keir Sullivan told Dan Zack as they saw a flop of 3♦6♠A♦. Sullivan bet 2,000, then called a raise to 5,000.

The turn came the 7♠ and Zack checked over to Sullivan, who bet 10,000. Zack called to see the 4♣ river, where Sullivan flicked in a green 25,000 chip.

Zack used up a time bank before he mucked. "Tough one," Sullivan asked as he took the pot.

"Probably not," Zack replied.

"What, you don't believe me? I'm a pretty honest guy," Sullivan added.
