Action folded to the small blind who raised to 4,000. Cody Raymond checked his cards and tossed in the call to bring out the 6♣J♥5♣ flop.

The small blind checked over to Raymond who counted out a bet worth 3,100. The small blind wasted little time in calling before the dealer turned the Q♣.

Both players checked through to see the A♣ fall on the river.

The small blind led out with a quick bet of 4,000 and was met with an equally quick call from Raymond. The small blind showed the 7♥7♦ before seeing Raymond turn up the 8♦8♣ which was good enough to take it down.

Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

On a completed board of 6♠6♥9♣10♦10♣ in a three-way pot, the big blind checked over to the Graydon Kowal who tossed out a bet of 3,000. The cutoff made the call, but with action back on the big blind, he paused briefly before responding with a check-raise to 16,500.

Kowal took a moment before deciding to put in a call which prompted the player in the cutoff to toss their cards toward the muck.

Kowal quickly tabled the 6♣3♣ and found himself to be good as his opponent declared, "I played the board" before mucking his cards face down.

Level 10 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Action was opened in middle position by Cody Raymond to 2,200 before it folded to Samuel Laskowitz in the small blind who smooth called followed by a fold from the big blind.

The 4♥3♥7♦ flop landed and action was checked to Raymond who continued for 2,200. The action was back on Laskowitz who opted to put in a check-raise to 7,000. Raymond called and the 3♦ rolled off on the turn.

Laskowitz sat in the tank for almost a minute before he bet again for 8,300. Raymond called again and the 2♦ hit on the river.

Laskowitz pondered his options for a few more moments before announcing he was all in. Raymond snap-called and immediately tabled 7♠7♥ for top boat but the pain was real when Laskowitz tabled 3♣3♠ for turned quads and an absolute cooler.

Laskowitz dragged the pot and got a much-needed influx of chips.

Oana checked to the button who continued with a bet of 1,200. Oana didn't wait long before responding with a check-raise to 5,500. The button didn't wait long before finding the all-in button and getting a quick call from Oana to set up a runout with the button at risk.

Button: A♠Q♠
Petrica Oana: 9♠7♦

The turn and river came the 10♣ and 2♥, completing the board but offering no improvement to the button, securing the pot for Oana as his opponent looked for the exit.
