First to act Gang Wang opens 1,600 and fills up after Yu Zhou upped it to 4,800 from +1 to see the flop 3♦ 4♠ 5♣ where Zhou continues for 3,500 and finds a call for a total of 23,600 with the aid of a time bank after Wang put him all-in.

Things are looking peachy for Zhou's over pair when the dealer flips over the 9♥ turn, but turn pear shaped on the 2♥ river, giving Wang a straight and a substantial pot.

Yuval Rosenberg Hits The Ground Running

Level 2: 200 / 300 ante: 300
Yuval Rosenberg and Hao Chen

With a 700 raise and a call in front, button Hao Chen squeezes to 2,200 and both opponents pay up to see the 8♥ J♦ K♦ flop where Chen's 3,500 continuation finds a single caller in cutoff Yuval Rosenberg. The 8♦ turn gets checked to the river 9♦ and Rosenberg's 6,500 lead gets the job done.
