: Blinds 500/1,000, 125 ante
"TRON1987" opened to 2,000 from early position and was called by "jadedjason" one seat over.

Tardif Takes a Hit
Level 6
: Blinds 700/1,400, 175 ante
Patrick "Egption" Tardif has struggled to get much going so far, slipping below half a starting stack. Tardif opened to 3,192 from middle position and was called by "jadedjason" on the button as well as "Daniel.J.P807" out of the big blind.
"Daniel.J.P807" checked on the 
flop and Tardif continued for 3,450. "jadedjason" released their holding while "Daniel.J.P807" made the call to send action heads-up to the turn.
The turn paired the board and saw "Daniel.J.P807" check for a second time. Tardif was not prepared to slow down, instead pushing 14,353 into the middle. Once again, "Daniel.J.P807" called.
Both players checked through the 
river with "Daniel.J.P807" turning over for the full boat, good enough to scoop the pot and send Tardif slipping further down the chip counts.
