Level 8
: 400/800, 75 ante
Todd Throckmorton found a four-flush with his 
after the flop came down 
. His opponent held the 
and connected slightly with the flop, making bottom pair and a gutshot straight draw, and soon enough the short-stacked players last chips were in the middle.
Throckmorton's chips did the same, and although the turn came (
) to miss his hand, the river was the 
to complete his nut-flush draw.

Level 7
: 300/600, 75 ante
A player in the hijack three-bet to 7,000 before the flop after an undetermined opening raise, and another player flatted the big bet from the cutoff.
Jonathan Sorscher liked the look of his 
, however, and he decided to pump it up to 17,325 from UTG+1, a four-bet which pushed the hijack's hand into the muck.
The player in the cutoff wasn't going anywhere though, and with 
in the hole he called the four-bet to put more than 90 percent of his stack at risk.
Before the flop was revealed Sorscher bet enough to put his opponent's last few chips at risk, and even though he knew the score when the dealer spread the 
, the man with fishhooks made the crying call.
"The ace gotta come there don't it?" he asked to nobody in particular, watching as Sorscher tabled his hand. "Gotta have that damned ace!"
The board ran out clean for Sorscher on the turn and river, leaving his despondent opponent to continue his muttered missives against the card that kills more poker dreams than any other.
Level 7
: 300/600, 75 ante
On the 
flop Sean Rice led out for 1,800 and found two callers. Another player had other ideas, however, and he shipped his last 15,000 into the middle hoping to force a round of folds.
Rice was undeterred though, and he flatted the all-in wager, moving the action to the first player who called his original flop bet. That player liked his hand as well, and he quickly slid his entire stack of 22,000 forward. The fourth player in the hand got out of the way, and with the action back on him Rice committed the calling chips to force a three-way showdown.
Rice: 
First Shover: 
Second Shover:
After flopping two pair Rice was now fading a few different draws, but the turn (
) and river (
) missed all of them, sending a huge pot to Rice while busting two players.

Level 6
: 250/500, 50 ante
The flop came down 
and James Parascandola saw his opponent lead out, betting 2,500 into a 3,000 pot.
With 
in the hole, Parascandola made his move and shoved all in for about 10,000 more. His opponent called and rolled over just 
for no pair and no draw, prompting a look of exasperation from Parascandola.
"You call off with king-high there?" queried Parascandola, obviously surprised that his opponent called him down without a hand.
After fading the deck's three remaining kings, Parascandola scored the much needed double and restored his starting stack just before the second break of the day.
Parascandola siphoned about 12,000 more from the same opponent just a few hands later, making trip tens with 
and extracting value on the river with a 6,000 bet.
