Toby Kasser checked to Luke Edwards after a {3-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} flop, and Edwards bet 85,000. Kasser, who had been in the big blind, shipped it for 330,000 more, and Edwards called without hesitation.

Edwards: {6-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}
Kasser: {q-Hearts}{9-Clubs}

The {7-Clubs} turn gave Edwards a double-gutshot straight draw.

"Give me a four," he said.

Another seven arrived though, and Edwards could only shake his head as he doubled his opponent up.

Action folded to Carless Boatwright's small blind, and he made it 180,000. Luke Edwards three-bet to 400,000 in the big blind, and Boatwright shipped all in.

"Can't fold now," Edwards said, moving his last few hundred thousand in.

Edwards: {a-Hearts}{5-Spades}
Boatwright: {9-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}

"Do you just have a pair every single time blind versus blind?" Edwards asked.

That pair stood up when the community cards were {2-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}{2-Spades}{4-Spades}{8-Spades}.

Event 99: Pressure Mounting

Action folded to Lauren Kepple's button, and she shipped all in for 985,000. Mohamed Eid made the call from the big blind.

Eid: {a-Clubs}{8-Clubs}
Kipple: {q-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}

The flop came {2-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}, giving Kipple a flush draw. A red card arrived on the turn, but it was the {3-Hearts}, no help to Kepple. The {6-Spades} fell on the river, and the last woman in the field headed for the payout desk.
