Level 9
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Samuel Laskowitz raised to 2,500 from the button and Josh Reichard called from the big blind. The flop was 5♥5♣4♥ and Reichard checked before Laskowitz bet 1,700. Reichard took a beat and tossed out 4,800, and that was enough to get Laskowitz out of the pot.
Laskowitz is near the 250,000 mark, while Mid-States Poker Tour Hall of Famer Josh Reichard is trending up after he joined the tournament in the middle levels.

Level 8
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Frank Lagodich opened in early position to 2,100 before getting called by Dylan Linde in middle position and Andrew Lichtenberger in the cutoff.
