Level 4
: Blinds 300/500, 500 ante
After being down to just 800 chips, Jory Barker has spun it back up to 20,000 after a wild orbit of poker.
First he was forced all in from the big blind and managed to double up to 1,900. Shortly after that, he went all in blind and received four callers. One of his opponents had flopped a king-high flush, but to Barker's surprise, he rivered the nut flush having the ace of clubs in his hand when the fourth club fell on the river.
If that wasn't enough excitement, Barker then found himself all in with ace-queen against ace-five to double up once more to hit the 20,000 mark. His run of cards in the past half-hour or so is a perfect example of the term "chip and a chair".

: Blinds 300/500, 500 ante
Matthew Kehoe raised to 1,200 in the cutoff, Ervin Bjerga flatted on the button, and Joshua Karnik defended in the big blind.
The flop of 10♣3♠2♣ checked through to the 4♠ turn. Karnik led out with a bet of 1,600, Kehoe folded, and Bjerga raised to 3,300. Bjerga thought for a brief moment before tossing his cards into the muck.
The next hand, Bjerga raised to 1,200 in the cutoff and WSOP bracelet winner John Reading three-bet to 4,000 in the big blind. Bjerga made the call.
The flop came A♠K♦6♥ and Reading continued with a bet of 2,200. Bjerga then bumped it up to 5,500, prompting Reading to let go of his hand.

: Blinds 300/500, 500 ante
Action picked up on the turn in a hand between the under-the-gun Jory Barker and Chad Boehnke in the hijack.
With about 20,000 in the middle and the board reading J♣K♣9♣4♦, Barker moved all in for 15,200 and Boehnke called for slightly less to put himself at risk.
Chad Boehnke: A♣K♦ 
Jory Barker: K♠Q♥
The 6♦ rolled off on the river, securing Boehnke the double up. Barker was left with just 800 chips.

: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Action went multi-way to a flop of 4♠8♥9♠ and Alisa Baumann led out with a bet of 1,500 from the small blind. Kristin Dahl called in late position, as did Keith Doering on the button.
The turn brought the 8♦ and Baumann continued with a bet of 2,200. Dahl stuck around and Doering got out of the way.
On the 5♣ river, Baumann bet once more, this time for 3,500 and Dahl flicked in the call.
"Nine," said Bauman as she turned over 9♥3♥ for two pair, nines and eights.
Dahl tabled Q♠8♠ for trip eights and the pot was pushed her way.

Action went three-ways to a flop of 8♥3♣K♠ in a hand between Victoria Zell in middle position, Tyler Caspers in the hijack, and Phillip Nesburg in the cutoff.
With about 6,000 in the middle, it checked over to Nesburg who bet 3,000. Zell then announced a raise to 6,500, prompting Caspers to get out of the way and Nesburg to call.
On the 2♠ turn, Zell moved all in for 33,200 to put herself at risk. Nesburg took some time to thrink through his decision before ultimately arriving at a fold.
