Andy Black raised to 150 under the gun, and Darren Kennedy reraised the pot. Scott Seiver called all in for his last 875 chips, Black folded, and the cards were on their backs:
Seiver: 
Kennedy: 
The dealer wanted to keep Seiver around for a bit, running out a helpful board: 
. That's a baby double up for Seiver; he's still got some work to do.
Scott Seiver opened the pot with a 600-chip bet and JP Kelly bet the pot. Seiver then went all in and got called.
Showdown:
Seiver: 
JP Kelly: 
Board: 
"Gods are giving it all back", said Seiver who is now up to 2,500.
We walked up to Table 4 to see Annette Obrestad all in for just over 1,000 chips on a flop of 
. Stephen Chidwick folded out of the way, but Matthew Colvin made the call to put her to the test, and the news was not good for the lady:
Obrestad: 
Colvin: 
The turn and river were a brick apiece for the slim-drawing Obrestad, and she has been eliminated from Event #9.
A player under the gun raised to 500, and Melanie Weisner three-bet to 1,525 in position. Her opponent moved all in over the top, and Weisner called to commit the rest of her own chips to the pot, putting herself all in and at risk.
She turned over two queens, and she would soon see that she was in an awfully bad spot against her opponent's pocket kings. There was no help for Melanie on board, and she has been relegated to the rail here in the fourth level.
Scott Seiver opened to 400, and Josh Cooper made the flat call. Rock Cloutier then three-bet to 1,700, and Seiver went ahead and moved all in for 2,975. Cooper made the call again, and Cloutier announced an all-in shove. The only problem was that the betting was closed because Seiver's all in was 25 chips too few to re-open the betting. He only had 1,275 on top of the three-bet, and he would have needed 1,300 for Cloutier to make a legal raise, so his only course of action was to call.
The flop came 
, and Cloutier finally had his chance to move all in. Cooper quickly called, and we had the chance to see what everyone was working with.
Showdown:
Seiver: 
Cooper:
Cloutier:
The turn and river filled out the board, and that was no help to the at-risk Seiver. Cloutier's overpair holds up, sending another player to the exit and moving his own stack up to about 9,800.
