Early Position: {a-Spades}{10-Clubs}
Michael Cannon: {q-Hearts}{q-Spades}

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

The under-the-gun player opened to 3,000, and got three callers, including Jay Smith in middle position.

Action checked to the under-the-gun player, who bet 5,000 on the {3-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{a-Diamonds} flop. Smith raised to 12,000, the button and small blind folded, and the under-the-gun player called.

Both remaining players checked the {4-Clubs} turn.

The under-the-gun player bet 8,000 on the {q-Clubs} river, Smith raises to 16,000, and his opponent folded.

With more than 40,000 in the pot on the river, and the board showing {k-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{j-Hearts}, a player in middle position bet 15,000, and Derek Staib raised all in for 60,200 total.

The middle-position player made the call, tabling {a-Spades}{k-Hearts} for trips. Staib's {8-Clubs}{8-Hearts} was the winner, however, and after he collected the chips he now sits at 160,000.

Level 11 : 800/1,500, 1,500 ante

The hijack opened to 3,700 and got three callers, including Nick Galazzo on the button.
