Level 8
: 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Kelly Joe Andrews opened to 2,400 in the hijack and the player on the button three-bet to 6,000. Action made its way back to Andrews and he looked across the table to his opponent, eyeing his stack before four-betting to 27,400.

Player on the Button: 
Kelly Joe Andrews: 
Andrews had just been spotted with a large stack and it grew even more as a safe runout of 
left his opponent drawing dead by the turn. He now looks to have the largest stack in the room with more than a quarter-million.

: 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

was safe and Theodocion earned the dub.
"I was at 84,000!" said Slay with a laughter, spreading her remaining chips out and lifting her hands up to display her remaining stack, which is now below the 25,000 she started with.

flop, bringing the turn
