Level 4
: 200/400, 400 ante
Zhenjie Hou raised to 800 in the hijack, finding a call from Tony Wu on his immediate left.
Both players checked the 5♥Q♠6♦ flop, and Hou led out for 2,000 on the 7♥ turn. Wu made the call, and the dealer revealed the K♦ river.
Hou fired again, this time for 6,000. That was enough to claim the pot, as Wu slid his cards into the muck.

Stanton Tentnowski limped in middle position, and Edward Garofalo made the call in the hijack. Percy Abraham slid out a call in the cutoff before Jason Raber raised to 2,000 on the button.
Michael Matrone three-bet to 10,000 in the small blind, leaving just 6,000 behind in his stack. Tentnowski and Garofalo were the only callers to see the 2♦4♦2♥ flop, where Matrone moved his last 6,000 into the middle.
Both opponents called, checking down the 4♥ turn and 9♠ river.
Michael Matrone: A♠K♦ 
Stanton Tentnowski: 9♥7♥
Edward Garofalo: 3♠3♦
Tentnowski turned over the winning hand after hitting top two pair on the river, earning the pot while sending Matrone to the rail.

Level 3
: Blinds 200/300, 300 ante
Lee Ilagan led out for 1,300 on the J♣J♥Q♦ flop, and Jonathan Tasch made the call in early position. Jason Yoder let his hand go in the cutoff, and the 6♦ turn hit the felt.
Ilagan led again for 3,200, and Tasch tossed in a call. Both players then checked down the 5♦ river, and Ilagan tabled K♦J♠ for trip jacks.
That was good to take down the pot, as Tasch mucked with just 11,000 left in his stack.
Tasch's stack was at risk on the very next hand, as he shoved the 3♥A♠10♠ flop and was at risk when Brandon Dolan announced all in on his left.
Jonathan Tasch: A♣6♠
Brandon Dolan: K♥3♥
Tasch was unable to dodge a spade, as Dolan hit the 9♠ turn to complete his flush. The 7♥ river saw Tasch hit the rail, as Dolan raked in the pot.
