Level 11
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Joao Simao raised it up from the hijack and Andrew Lichtenberger called from the small blind. The flop fell Q♣8♠3♥ and Simao continued with a bet of 18,000. Lichtenberger check-raised to 45,000 and Simao called.
The turn was the Q♦ and Lichtenberger checked again. Simao dropped in a bet of 40,000 and Lichtenberger check-raised again to 80,000. Simao still called and the 3♣ completed the board.
Lichtenberger jammed all in and Simao used up an entire two minutes before reluctantly dumping his cards into the muck.

Level 10
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
When the action folded around to Manig Loeser in the small blind, he jammed all in and Brandon Wilson called off his last 25,000 chips in the big blind. Wilson held 8x4x but somehow found a way to double up with David Coleman laughing at him.
On the next hand, Loeser shoved all in again on the button and Wilson stuck in his stack of around 50,000 in the small blind.
Brandon Wilson: A♣9♣
Manig Loeser: Q♣J♥
The flop came J♠4♠4♦ and Loeser picked up the best hand after hitting a jack. The Q♦ on the turn and the K♣ on the river were no help to Wilson who gave those chips right back to Loeser.

Level 10
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Cary Katz and David Coleman got all of their chips in the middle preflop from the blinds with Katz at risk for around 80,000.
Cary Katz: 9♥9♣
David Coleman: K♠10♠
The flop came Q♦10♥9♠ with the ten in the window but a nine right behind it. However, the J♦ and A♦ runout gave Coleman a straight and Katz was bounced from the tournament.
"I know. I'm the luckiest guy here," Coleman said in shame afterward.
