Level 5 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Drake Kemper opened to 6,500 in the hijack and Dylan Linde called on the button before Joey Weissman three-bet jammed for 126,000 in the big blind.

"Big jam, Joey," said Kemper before calling.

Linde was still left to act, but Kemper commented "I think I'm behind." Linde went in the tank before shrugging and calling with about the same stack as Weissman.

Dylan Linde: A♣Q♠ All in
Joey Weissman: 9♥9♣ All in
Drake Kemper: A♦Q♥

There was never a sweat as the flop landed 7♣7♥9♦ to give Weissman nines full before a runout of K♦7♠ confirmed a near triple up as Linde was sent to the rail and Kemper was left on fumes.

Joey Weissman	360,000 235,000	235,000

Drake Kemper	10,000 115,000	115,000

Seward checked on the flop of K♦10♥7♥ and Zaki bet 28,000. Seward check-raised all in to bring a snap-fold from Zaki, who shot Seward an intense glance as he surrendered the pot.

Level 4 : Blinds 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante

In a heads-up pot on a board of Q♦5♦Q♣8♥, Aram Zobian bet 16,000 and Brandon Wilson raised to 50,000. Zobian called.

Zobian checked on the A♦ river and Wilson, with the left side of his neck shielded by his hoodie, bet around 50,000 to bring a snap-fold from Zobian. Wilson then told his table mates "I might've just punted it off" to leave Zobian rubbing his chin.

Level 4 : Blinds 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante

Tony Gregg opened from under the gun and was called by Shannon Shorr on the button and Brock Wilson in the big blind.

The flop of A♣J♠J♥ checked through and Gregg bet 13,500 on the Q♦ turn. Only Wilson called. Wilson then checked on the 7♣ river and Gregg bet 45,000. Wilson quickly called.

Gregg could only show king-high with K♦8♦ as Wilson rolled over K♣10♠ for Broadway to win the pot.

A few hands earlier, Event #1 champion Kent Stephens of Utah was eliminated at the same table.
