Level 7 : 400/800, 800 ante

The fireworks continue at the table where Scott Janik, Chance Gir, Loren Klein, Josh Prager and Kevin Hale all currently reside.

The latest big pot came in a hand that saw Gir raise to 1,800 under the gun, Janik three-bet to 4,300 on Gir's direct left, and Prager four-bet all in for his 15,200 stack. Action folded back around to Gir, who bowed out.

Janik made the call, going to the heads-up showdown with Prager.

Level 7 : 400/800, 800 ante

Chance Gir open raised from the cutoff, Scott Janik three-bet from the cutoff, and Loren Klein cold called the three-bet from the big blind.

Action came back to Gir, who put in the four bet to 16,000. That prompted Janik to five-bet shove, putting his entire 52,000 stack into the pot.

Klein folded, and Gir went deep into the tank. Clearly exasperated, Gir thought over the decision for several minutes, before finally electing to fold.

Chance Gir	122,000
Loren Klein	119,000 4,000	4,000
