Level 8
: 300/600, 100 ante
Frenchman Dimitri Nikolajew got off to a good start in this tournament, but he just watched his stack evaporate into thin air.
Nikolajew came over to our table and explained how he ran the nut flush, with 
, into a player who managed to hit a full house on the river.
After this hand Nikolajew had some swings, but never got back to his peak-stack of 42,000.
"A new player came to the table and he played every hand, even the bulls**t hands," Nikolajew explained.
Against this player Nikolajew made a call down with 
on a board with mostly low cards, but he lost against 
which had made a pair of sixes.
On his final hand Nikolajew ran 
into 
for his last 14 big blinds, and he'll now be looking to win another seat in one of tonight's satellites.

After a player limped in for 500 from early position, the next player to act raised to 1,500. Jason Kim was in the hijack seat, and he called. Kody MacGuire called from the cutoff seat, Michael Trivett called from the button, the player in the small blind made the call, and then Oskar Sandberg reraised all in from the big blind for 9,200.
"I didn't look yet," said Sandberg with his chips in the middle.
The limper, the original preflop raiser, and Kim all folded. MacGuire then reraised all in for 11,500 total, Trivett called, and the player in the small blind also called.
"How much more is it?" asked the player in the small blind before he called. When he received the amount from the dealer, he quickly tossed the chips in.
With MacGuire and Sandberg all in and side action between the player in the small blind and Trivett, the flop came down 
. The first player checked, Trivett bet 15,000 to put him all in, and the player called with a shrug for slightly less than Trivett's bet.
Sandberg showed the 
for a pair of fours, highly evident that he did indeed not look before shoving preflop. The other preflop all-in player, MacGuire, showed the 
for top pair of aces, and he held the same hand as Trivett, who held the 
. The player in the small blind had the 
and was looking to hit a gutshot straight draw.
The turn was the 
, and the river was the 
. After that, Trivett and MacGuire won the pot and chopped up everyone's chips, knocking out two players in the process.

Matt Marko's sitting right above the starting stack, and we just caught up with him to talk a bit about the action so far.

Just when you think things can't get any more exciting during Run It Up Reno; we just witnessed Oskar Sandberg get on one knee in front of the 190-players that are still in the tournament for his beloved Cecilia.
Cecilia didn't deliver the ultimate bad beat, because she said "yes" with a big smile, and we can now start the countdown for the wedding between Oskar and Cecilia. Sandberg, who won the $125 Survivor tournament earlier this week, said that he'd never felt as nervous as he did just now.
"I'm not a guy who gets nervous," Sandberg said, "But just now I was shaking."
"She knew it was probably going to happen during this trip, but I think she thought it was probably going to be on the Golden Gate bridge or something."
Sandberg is taking the future Mrs. on a four-week trip along the West Coast of the US right after this event, and they are looking to hit up San Francisco, Los Angeles and ultimately Las Vegas as well.
