Level 6
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Michael Oar raised to 1,200 in the hijack, the player in the cutoff three-bet to 3,500, the player on the button cold called, as did the player in the big blind. Oar then four-bet to 13,200, getting calls from the button and the big blind.
The flop came 2♦J♥Q♣ and the big blind moved all in for about 12,000, putting himself at risk. Oar reshoved for 16,000 total and the button called, covering both the big blind and Oar.
Big blind: Q♥10♥ 
Michael Oar: A♠Q♠
Button: 9♥8♥
The turn landed the K♣ and the river brought the 7♦, with Oar's pair of queens earning him the sizable pot.
The player on the button busted the next hand when he got all in preflop for his last 10,000 with queen-four, falling to his opponent's ace-jack.

Craig Seltzer raised to 1,200 before Robert Buckley three-bet to 2,400. Then Sushanth Pinson four-bet all in for 13,100, which Seltzer called. Then Buckley five-bet all in for 132,100. That forced Seltzer to fold, leaving the two players heads up, with Pinson at risk.
Sushanth Pinson: J♠J♦
Robert Buckley: 4♠4♥
Pinson was in great shape to triple up with his pocket jacks, and when the board ran out 5♣6♠J♣Q♣4♦ both players made a set, but the set of jacks were best, and Pinson secured the triple up.
