Level 7
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Three players saw a flop of 9♦4♥J♥ where Harlen Miller moved all in for 16,000 in early position. Ryan Nickle also shoved for 26,500 in middle position, and Mark Dufner put him both opponents at risk in the hijack.
Harlen Miller: Q♠J♣ 
Ryan Nickle: K♠K♦
Mark Dufner: 10♥9♥
Nickle was ahead with his kings, while Dufner had a pair and flush draw and Miller had top pair. The 3♣ turn kept Nickle in the lead, but Miller spiked the J♠ on the river to make trips and scoop the pot.
"I've had this hand four times today, haven't one a single one of them," Nickle lamented as he had to console himself with the side pot off Dufner.

Three-handed on a flop of K♣K♥3♣, Gary Ewald bet 2,000 from early position and Brock Begg called in the big blind. An under-the-gun player then moved all in for 8,000, and Ewald called. "Alright, let's gamble," Begg said as he shoved forward a tower of chips for a reraise, and Ewald folded.
All-in Player: A♦A♠
Brock Begg: K♣9♠
The at-risk player showed down two aces, but Begg had flopped trips to take the lead. The rest of the board ran out 4♣10♥ and Begg scored the knockout.
