Level 8
: 400/800, 800 ante
A player raised to 1,600 from under the gun, and Justin Gutierrez three-bet to 6,000 from middle position. Nicola Ditrapani four-bet to 17,500 on the button, and action folded back to Gutierrez.
Gutierrez spent a minute in the tank before five-bet shoving for 100,000. Ditrapani, who had 78,500 behind, tanked for a few minutes, before saying, "I fold," and turning his 
up on the felt. Gutierrez didn't show, and raked in the pot.
Level 8
: 400/800, 800 ante
Julius Reiner raised to 2,000 from middle position, and was called by the cutoff, as well as Kenneth Baime on the button. Brek Schutten three-bet shoved for 25,000 from the small blind, and Reiner four-bet jammed for 62,000, chasing out the cutoff and Baime.
"I'm gonna need some help," Schutten noted.
Brek Schutten: 
Julius Reiner: 
"Such a good squeeze spot!" Reiner said about Schutten's shove.
Schutten got plenty of help when the 
flop gave him a pair and a flush draw, and the 
turn locked the hand up for Schutten before the 
could fall on the river.

Level 8
: 400/800, 800 ante
The big blind jammed for his last 8,400 into a pot of 7,500 on a 
board, and Daniel Sepiol went into the tank from under the gun.
After a minute, he made the call, and the big blind stood up, turning his 
up on the felt. Sepiol turned over 
for just ace-high, and the big blind was eliminated.
"Look at you, Mister Hero!" a player at the table told Sepiol.
