Level 9 : Blinds 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante

An early position player opened to 8,000 and Sam Fisher called on the button.

The early position player bet 11,000 on the flop of A♥J♠7♣ and Fisher snap-jammed a stack of 56,000 to bring a snap-fold from his opponent. This prompted Fisher to snap-show A♦Q♦ for top pair.

Level 9 : Blinds 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante

Brian Spencer limped in for 3,000 on the button and the small blind called before the big blind moved all in. Spencer called with a bigger stack and the small blind folded.

Big Blind: 5♦5♠ All in
Brian Spencer: J♠8♦

The big blind, a veteran with color vision deficiency who has been using a VR headset to better see the cards, lowered his headset only to be greeted by a nightmare as the board ran out J♣10♥A♦A♥J♦ to give his opponent jacks full of aces.

Level 8 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

A river heard around the tournament room was dealt as an opponent moved all in on the button and Nikki Smith called in the big blind.

Opponent: 5♥5♦ All in
Nikki Smith: 8♣8♥

The flop of 5♠2♣10♠ gave the opponent a big lead with a set, but the board finished out 10♥8♦ to bring gasps from the table as Smith made the better set.

Smith apologized to her opponent for the brutal runout and proclaimed that she "may need some new pants!"
