Level 9
: 400/800, 75 ante
With a 6,300 bet in front of his opponent, Aaron Massey made it 17,000 to go, leaving himself with 2,875 behind. His opponent made the call.
"Did you go all in or just call?" asked Massey.
"I didn't say anything," his opponent said, thus making it clear that it was just a call.
"At least I get to act first," Massey retorted.
"You have Ace-King?"
"I have a hand," Massey said, flicking out a bet of 1,125 when the flop came out.
"I'm all in," his opponent said.
Massey shrugged and said "I call" and turned over 
. It was actually ahead as his opponent had 
. The board would brick out and Massey scored a double up.

. That would be enough to felt his opponent who had 18,500 left behind.
"Really?" he said, looking over at Rocha. "You raise with 9's bro?"
Rocha sat there for a moment and then responded "I need pocket 9's to win?"
His opponent flicked his hand in their, and peeked back at his cards. Rocha sat across the table from him, his head resting lightly on his fists.
"You said you would show me once," he said to Rocha.
"Really?"
"Yeah, right when we sat down."
"I don't remember that," said Rocha.
A few more moments of contemplation. "Aaaaaaaaahhhhh, alright I fold," he said, turning over for trip Queens.
"You want me to show?" asked Rocha.
"Yes."
"Alright, but only because I supposedly said I would," Rocha grinned, turning over the bluff... 
.
"Wow, sick bet. Well played sir," said Rocha's opponent, shaking his head.

: 300/600, 75 ante
Players are going on a 10 minute break, will come back and play another level, and then go on dinner break. Aaron Massey wasn't a fan of this.
"What the ****, that makes no sense," he said.
Level 8
: 300/600, 75 ante
Emad Alabsi relayed a hand that just went down where he had 
on a 
board.
"It went bet, raise, re-raise and I knew my Aces were no good," Alabsi told us.
He was right as one of the players had 
for flopped trips and the other player had for a flopped full house, Sevens full of Kings. That hand would end up holding up and Alabsi would live to play another hand.
Alabsi is fresh off a win earlier this week where his good friend James Woods photo-bombed his winners photo. He also cashed in Event 7.
