Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Jesse West bet 4,000 from the small blind on a flop of Q♣J♠6♦, Sara Weishaar moved all in for 26,500 in the hijack, and West called.

Sara Weishaar: K♥10♣ All in
Jesse West: K♣Q♥

West was ahead with top pair, while Weishaar was looking to complete a straight draw. The turn was the 8♠ and Weishaar was already standing up from her seat, but she caught the A♦ on the river to make her straight and double up.

Chastity Askvig moved all in for 30,500 under the gun on a flop of 10♦8♠9♣, Dustyn Huber reshoved for 42,000 on the button, and Tyson Tame called in the small blind to put both opponents at risk.

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Mark Britton raised to 10,000 in the hijack and was called by Caden Coleman on the button and Sara Weishaar in early position.

The flop came A♠J♣10♠ and Britton moved all in for 60,000. Coleman reshoved for 90,000, and Weishaar tanked for a minute before folding, later saying she had ace-nine.

Mark Britton: J♦J♠ All in
Caden Coleman: K♦Q♥

Britton showed a flopped set of jacks, but Coleman had hit the nut straight. Britton needed the board to pair to stay alive, but he missed the 7♠ turn and 6♣ river and was sent to the rail.
