In Level 5 with blinds of 400/800 and an ante of 100, "Buck73201" raised to 1,600 in early position and was called by "scottp" in the cutoff. A couple of folds ensued to put action onto "chaposticks" in the big blind, who three-bet to 6,800.

"Buck73201" four-bet to 12,000 and "scottp" got out of the way. "chaposticks" then five-bet jammed for 71,200 and "Buck73201" thought for a couple of moments before clicking the call button.

The two were in a coin flip situation and "chaposticks" was both at risk for their tournament life and slightly ahead, in need of holding. The runout complied, coming to give them jacks up and earn the double.

In Level 4 with blinds of 300/600 and an ante of 75, "LexBabe" opened the action with a raise to 1,200 in middle position and received a call from "DigBickNick" in the hijack. "Metalhead420" called on the button, as did both "shelah629" in the small blind and "chen718" in the big blind to take action five ways to the streets.

The flop dropped and action checked to "LexBabe," who made a continuation-bet of 3,300. "DigBickNick" called and "Metalhead420" folded. The pattern then repeated with "shelah629" calling before "chen718" folded, and action proceeded three handed.

The turn came and "shelah629" checked again. "LexBabe" fired a second barrel of 4,200, prompting a quick fold from "DigBickNick." Action was then back on "shelah629" and they put in a check-raise to 16,600.

"LexBabe" folded and "shelah629" took down the pot with their turn check-raise, taking their stack over 80,000 without needing to see a showdown.
