Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

The dealer put out an action flop of 5♦8♦9♦, resulting in a three-way all in. Riva Arthur had both of her opponents covered, but needed to fade a diamond and the board pairing to scoop the pot.

Opponent: A♦J♣ All in
Opponent: 8♣8♥ All in
Riva Arthur: K♦J♦

The turn landed the 10♥, with Arthur still in the lead. The river brought the 4♣ and Arthur's flopped flush held to award her the sizable pot.

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

Rudolf George limped in from early position, and when it folded to Zachariah Kates in the cutoff, he raised to 6,200. Once it folded to the big blind Dale Capuano, he three-bet to 18,000. George folded, and Kates made the call.

The flop came J♠3♠10♠ and Capuano fired out 25,000. After thinking over his decision, Kates tossed his cards in the muck and gave Capuano the pot.

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

Action picked up on the river in a hand between Rudolf George in the big blind and Zachariah Kates in middle position.

With about 40,000 in the middle and the board reading J♥4♥8♥3♦K♣, George bet 14,000, which was enough to put Kates all in, who had 12,700 behind.

After some thought, Kates made the call and tabled K♥K♦ for three of a kind, kings, besting the A♥2♠ of George, who had a busted flush draw.

Joe Malebranche	123,000 44,700	44,700
Rudolf George	88,000 45,100	45,100

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

Riva Arthur raised to 2,500 from under the gun, and when it folded to the small blind Casey Hatmaker, he three-bet all in for 16,100. The big blind folded, and Arthur made the call to put Hatmaker at risk.

Casey Hatmaker: 7♥7♣ All in
Riva Arthur: J♥10♦

It was a flip for Hatmaker's tournament life, and after the board ran out K♥8♦2x9♦5♠ Hatmaker's pocket sevens were still best, and he secured the double up.
