Winter Fires Third Barrel, Gallimore Calls
Level 7
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
On a three-way flop of 9♠5♦J♣, the first player checked, Brian Winter bet 4,000, David Gallimore called, and the other player folded.
On the turn J♠, Winter continued for 5,100 and again Gallimore called to see the Q♥ appear on the turn.
Winter then loaded the clip and fired off another bet of 13,000, which made Gallimore stop and think for a good bit.
After a full minute, Gallimore tossed in the call, which prompted Winter to table 7♣8♣ for jacks with eight-high. Gallimore then proudly tabled 5♣6♣ for two pair of jacks and fives to take down the pot.

Cate and Gregory go to Spade Town
Level 7
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
On a flop of J♠9♠10♠, all the chips between Logan Cate and Brent Gregory found their way into the middle, with Gregory at risk.
Brent Gregory: 9♣9♦ 
Logan Cate : 7♦8♦
Cate was in the lead with his flopped straight but still had to dodge the board pairing due to Gregory's set of nines. Crazily enough, neither player lost as the runout of 7♠3♠ gave them both a flush.
"Well, that's one way to do it!" Gregory exclaimed as the two players chopped up the pot.

Gerleman Gets There
Level 6
: 400/800, 800 ante
On a flop of 8♠9♣6♥, Dwayne Gerleman, Mark Davis, and another player got all the chips into the middle, with Davis covering.
Dwayne Gerleman: 7♥3♥
Opponent: A♠9♦
Mark Davis: 8♦8♥
Davis was well in the lead with his flopped set of eights, but the runout of 2♥5♠ completed Gerleman's straight draw and he was awarded the main pot. Davis' hand was still good for the side pot so he received a partial rebate while the other player was sent to the rail.

King in the Window for Simmons
Level 5
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
The action was picked up on this hand as the cards were already on their backs with Brian Simmons holding pocket kings against the pocket aces of his opponent.
Simmons was ready to accept his fate, but the cards had other plans as a king appeared right in the window of the K♦8♦5♠ flop to give him a huge lead. The runout of 8♠4♠ only further improved him to a full house and he was shipped the pot while his opponent hit the rail, shaking his head.
