Kevin Carter

A blind-versus-blind battle saw Kevin Carter in for his last 160,000 from the big blind, and Heather Hardie had him at risk in the small blind.

Kevin Carter: {q-}{q-}
Heather Hardie: {a-Hearts}{5-Spades}

Carter's queens looked primed to double after the {k-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{5-Clubs} flop and {4-Hearts} turn, but Hardie binked one of her outs on the {5-Diamonds} river, giving her trips and Carter's $275 bounty.

Alan Mastic
Alan Mastic

John-Paul Portal raised to 25,000 from the hijack, and Alex Brakebill called in the small blind. Alan Mastic three-bet shoved for 94,000 in the big blind, Portal four-bet shoved for 275,000, and Brakebill folded.

Alan Mastic: {k-Clubs}{9-Hearts}
John-Paul Portal: {a-Clubs}{q-Spades}

"C'mon, lucky nine!" Mastic said. He couldn't find one on the {3-Spades}{4-Clubs}{7-Hearts} flop, and although he picked up some chop outs on the {5-Clubs} turn, the {10-Spades} river was a brick, sending him out the door, while Portal claimed the $800 bounty on Mastic.

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Arlie Shaban
Arlie Shaban

Arlie Shaban had his last 22,200 in from the big blind and was at risk against a player in middle position.

Arlie Shaban: {k-Hearts}{j-Spades}
Opponent: {k-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}

The {9-Spades}{4-Clubs}{q-Spades} flop gave both players a gutshot, and Shaban hit his on the {10-Spades} turn. His opponent needed a jack to chop the pot, but the {k-Spades} river instead gave Shaban a king-high straight flush!

"Lemme take a picture!" Shaban said, snapping a photo of the board with his phone before raking in the double.
