Level 6 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Jason Beaulieu
Jason Beaulieu

Jason Beaulieu and Rob Kawada went to the turn on a board of 6938 when Beaulieu bet 12,000 from the big blind. Kawada then raised to 26,000 in the hijack, and Beaulieu called.

The river was the 7 and Kawada bet 130,000, enough to put Beaulieu all in. Beaulieu tanked for a minute until calling for his last 93,500.

Kawada showed Q9 for top pair, but Beaulieu had rivered a straight with 95 to win the pot and double up.

A player under the gun raised to 3,000 before the small blind moved all in for 30,000. John Germano called in the big blind, while the under-the-gun player got out of the way.

All-In Player: AK All in
John Germano: KK

The at-risk player had run into Germano's kings and needed an ace to stay alive, but no help arrived on the J29Q3 board as he was sent to the rail.

Three players went to the turn on a board of 10958 when Rob Kawada bet 22,200 from under the gun. An opponent in early position called, as did the hijack.

The river was the 8 and Kawada moved all in for 53,000. The early-position player quickly folded, exposing the 2, while the hijack tanked for a few minutes until calling.

Kawada turned over 55 for a full house, and his opponent mucked before handing over the big double up.

Kelly Picks Up Kings to Score the Knockout

Level 6 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

It took nearly six levels, but the first bustout of the day went to Mike Kelly.

A player in the big blind had three-bet to 16,000 before Kelly moved all in from early position. The cutoff then put in her last 50,000, and the big blind tanked for a few minutes but eventually got out of the way.

All-in Player: AK All in
Mike Kelly: KK

The at-risk player was looking for an ace to stay alive, but Kelly's kings stayed in the lead through the 1083810 board to earn him the knockout.

The flop came 9Q3 and Steeves bet 7,000. Johnson called, and the A fell on the turn.

Steeves then bet 10,100, and Johnson again called. Steeves slowed down and checked the Q river, and Johnson then bet 32,000.

Steeves tanked for a few minutes before raising to 100,000, and Johnson also took a minute but eventually gave up his hand. Steeves showed 96 as he took the pot.

Cindy Spier raised to 3,000 in the cutoff and was called by an opponent in the big blind.

The big blind then bet 17,000, and Spier quickly called once more. The big blind could only show A10 for ace-high, while Spier turned over QJ for a flopped flush to win the pot.
