Level 3 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

There was around 10,500 in the middle, in a three-handed pot on the 9?3?3? flop.

Timothy Fallon bet 5,000 from middle position before Istvan Szabo moved all in 11,600 from the hijack. Douglas Shirk then rejammed for around 10,000 more which pushed out Fallon.

Istvan Szabo: 9?9?
Douglas Shirk: Q?Q?

Szabo flopped a full house and improved to quads following the 3? turn and 9? river.

On a table elsewhere, there was around 7,000 in the middle on the J?9?3? flop.

Michael-David Passy and Daniel Moallem checked from under the gun and middle position, prompting Atanas Kodinov to bet 5,000.

Passy made it 11,000 before Moallem jammed for 20,600. Kodinov folded and Passy called.

Daniel Moallem: AxAx
Michael-David Passy: 9?9?

Passy had out-flopped the aces and made a set. He held out to secure the pot and bust out following the 8?4? runout.
