Level 8
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Three ways on a flop of 9♠7♦4♥, the player in the small blind checked and Michel Molenaar checked in the big blind to Raul Martinez, who bet 3,500 on the button. The small blind called, but then Molenaar shoved for 17,000 total.
Martinez asked for a count and called to put Molenaar at risk. The small blind got out of the way and a showdown was held.
Michel Molenaar: Q♦4♦
Raul Martinez: 10♦9♦
Molenaar would need some help with his pair of fours, but the K♥ turn and 10♣ river needlessly improved Martinez to two pair — sending Molenaar to reenter should he choose.

: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
A player in middle position opened to 2,300 and the player in the cutoff called. Augustin Ratiu then shoved for 24,500 total on the button, which got a fold from the initial raiser and a call from the cutoff.
Augustin Ratiu: A♠K♠
Cutoff: 9♥9♦
It was a fair fight, but the K♣2♠5♦8♣A♥ runout improved Augustin Ratiu to two pair, awarding him the double up.
