A player made it 1,000 to go from uner the gun and defending champion Nghia Le, known locally as "3 Putts" went all in over the top for 7,500 from middle position. Action folded around to the small blind, who asked for a count before announcing a call.

Action was then on Eric Eelkema, who was in the big blind and announced he was all in as well. The original opener folded and the small blind verbalized a call for a three-way all-in preflop situation.

Nghia Le:
Eric Eelkema:
Small Blind:

The small blind covered both players but was also the furthest behind in the hand. Meanwhile, "3 Putts" found his suited big slick also firmly behind Eelkema's pair of aces. The flop came , giving "3 Putts" nine clubs plus the case king in the deck as outs for the triple. The turn was clean, leaving Eelkema out in front but the river that fell behind it gave "3 Putts" the nuts, earning him the triple along the way while Eelkema's aces were second-best and still good for the side pot.

McNee Wins a Race

HillKerby

Level 6 : 300/500, 500 ante

John McNee saw action folded to him in the cutoff and he ripped in his last 5,400. There was a dead button so the small blind was next to act and folded. The big blind then announced a call.

John McNee:
Big Blind:

"Ooh, it's a race!!!" said McNee, excited for the runout. He had reason to stay that way as the board came clean, falling to score him the double.

Level 6 : 300/500, 500 ante

Jon Hanner:
Thomas Powers:

Hanner had just four immediate outs to Broadway in addition to possible running cards as his only chances to best Powers' top two pair. The turn and river came clean and he congratulated Powers on a nice hand before getting up and exiting the tournament area.

Berman Cracks Matakis' Kings

HillKerby

Level 6 : 300/500, 500 ante

Ian Matakis was under the gun and raised to 1,200. He was called by the cutoff as well as Scotter Clark, who was on the button. Brad Berman then three-bet all in for 15,500 from the small blind. When action was back on Matakis, he announced he was all in and both the cutoff and Clark got out the way.

Brad Berman:
Ian Matakis:

Upon seeing Matakis' hand, Berman remarked that he did not like his chances as he tabled his own. He liked his chances much better as the flop came , giving him nine newly-found outs. One of those nine came on the turn to score him the flush and the double as the river fell to finish the runout.

Matakis confirmed the amount and sent the chips to the dealer to pay off Berman, bringing him back to under starting stack after appearing to have chipped up a bit in the recent past.
