Level 13
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Darren Elias opened to 7,500 from early position and action folded around to the big blind who three-bet to 19,000. Elias just called.
The big blind almost immediately announced they were all in after the flop came 
prompting Elias to go into the tank. He did end up making the call with the effective stack to put himself at risk.
Darren Elias: 
Big Blind Player: 
Elias was behind, needing to hit his gutshot or make a set to survive. The 
turn was bad news for Elias, removing his straight outs, but the 
river saw him hit one of the two remaining cards in the deck that would cause his hand to surpass his opponent's in strength to give him the full double and prolong his stay in the tournament.

Robert Cohen opened to 7,000 from under the gun only to see the player to his immediate left move all in for 79,200. Action folded back around to Cohen who decided to make the call with the covering stack to put his opponent at risk.
Early Position Player:
Robert Cohen: 
Though at risk, the early position player was in a good spot to get a full double. That is exactly what happened after the board ran out 
to leave Cohen crippled.
Level 12
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Bin Weng opened to 6,000 on the button and was called by the big blind.
The big blind led into Weng for 7,000 on a flop of 
and he decided just to call.
There was no slowing down for the big blind after the turn came 
as he fired a second barrel of 20,000. Again, Weng flatted.
The 
river completed the board with the big blind opting to move all in for around 102,000, sending Weng deep into the tank. After some time and a glance up at the tournament clock he did commit calling chips holding 
but came up short against his opponent's to leave himself with just a few chips near the end of the late registration period.
Level 12
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
A player opened to 7,000 on the button and Jacob Mitich, who recently took down Event #6: $400 Monster Triple Stack, defended out of the big blind.
Mitich checked to the preflop aggressor on a flop of 
and then called a continuation of 6,000.
Action checked through the 
turn to the river at which point Mitich fired off 7,000. The button player made the call but mucked when Mitich showed 
for a pair of jacks.
