In Level 26 with blinds of 16,000/32,000 and an ante of 4,000, "Stingray99" limped under the gun and "Bagels" raised to 64,000 in the hijack. "NewAgedP23" called on the button and "Stingray99" also called to take action three ways to a flop of {4-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}.

Action checked to "Bagels," who made a continuation-bet of 132,000 and received a call only from "Stingray99."

With 528,000 in the pot, the turn came {6-Diamonds} and "Stingray99" jammed for 383,000.

In Level 26 with blinds of 16,000/32,000 and an ante of 4,000, "Bagels" jammed for their last 250,000 and received a call from Katie Stone, who was on the button.

"Bagels": {k-Hearts}{q-Clubs}
Katie Stone: {a-Spades}{q-Hearts}

A queen came on the flop {q-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{7-Diamonds} and a pair of fours {4-Clubs}{4-Hearts} finished the runout, leaving Stone's ace kicker playing to knock out "Bagels" in sixth place.

Moments later at the end of the level, "DaCoolerKing" got all in from the cutoff against "NewAgedP23" who was in the big blind.

"DaCoolerKing": {a-Spades}{j-Clubs}
"NewAgedP23": {k-Spades}{9-Spades}

When all was said and done, the board read {4-Clubs}{j-Spades}{q-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{5-Spades} and "NewAgedP23" had a flush to knock out "DaCoolerKing" in fourth place.
