Action folded to chip leader Derek McMaster in the hijack and he raised to 2,800. The player on the button called, both blinds folded, and the flop came down 
. McMaster bet 4,000, his opponent called, and the 
appeared on the turn.
McMaster checked, and then called when his opponent bet 8,500. When the 
completed the board on the river, McMaster checked for a second time but called when the player on the button bet 10,000. The button showed the 
for top pair, but it was no good as McMaster held an overpair with the

Fade Into Black
Level 10
: 500/1,000, 100 ante
William Black was on one heck of a heater earlier in the day, but his active and aggressive style caught up to him.
We missed Black's bustout hand, but Tyler Corbett, who had tangled with Black on numerous occasions, informed us of his demise. According to him, Black limped and Alan Curl raised to 3,000. Two players called, and when action was back on Black he shipped for 24,000. Curl called and the other two players got out of the way.
Curl: 
Black: 
Black was looking for some help, but the board ran out a lowly 
to improve Curl to a wheel.

Munjal Finally Gets Some Momentum
Level 9
: 400/800, 100 ante
Since reentering yet again, it seems Sean Munjal may finally be on the right track.
In a recent hand, Julian Levy raised to 2,500 under the gun and Munjal, who was next to act, made the call. The rest of the field folded and it was heads-up action to the 
flop. Levy checked, Munjal bet 3,600, and Levy quickly check-raised to 8,500.
Not to be outdone, Munjal three-bet to 19,500, which gave Levy, who had about 34,000 behind, something to think about. A minute or so passed, but eventually Levy opted to lay it down.
