Level 7 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Skyler Sand raised to 2,500 on the button, the big blind three-bet to 6,000, and Sand called.

The flop came 8♦4♠9♦ and the big blind continued for 7,000. Sand called, and the 3♣ fell on the turn.

The big blind then moved all in for 16,200, sending Sand deep into the tank. "Do you want a call?" he asked his opponent.

"I feel it might be a mistake to say that," the big blind replied. Sand eventually called and turned over A♥8♥ for a pair of eights, and his opponent could only show A♠5♦. The river was the 6♥ and Sand took the pot to send his opponent to the rail.

Level 7 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

A player in the hijack moved all in for 6,000 on a flop of A♥10♠Q♥ and Keat O'Hearn called in the big blind. Dan Wright then reshoved in the hijack, and O'Hearn tossed queen-ten into the muck.

All-In Player: A♦10♥ All in
Dan Wright: K♠J♠

The at-risk player showed two pair, but Wright had flopped the nut straight. The board ran out 4♠5♠ to improve Wright to a flush and earn him the knockout.

"Third best," a tablemate said to O'Hearn after the hand.

Level 7 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Alexander Powell led out for 6,500 from the small blind on a flop of A♣2♥7♣ before Matthew Oeseburg raised to 14,000 under the gun. Powell then moved all in, and Oeseburg called for his last 25,000.

Matthew Oeseburg: A♥J♥ All in
Alexander Powell: A♠K♠

Both players had flopped top pair, but Powell was ahead with his king-kicker and poised for the knockout. Oeseburg couldn't catch up on the 6♦ turn or 9♠ river, and he was sent to the rail.

Level 7 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Just a few hands after Larson took the three-way all in with his queens, he got involved in another big pot as a player in the cutoff was all in on a board of 9♦K♦7♣4♠ with around 40,000 in the pot. Another opponent on the button then shoved, and Larson called for his last 30,000 under the gun.

The cutoff showed K♠Q♠ for top pair, while the button had A♥A♣. Larson turned over 6♦3♦ for straight and flush draws, and he spiked the 8♦ on the river to scoop the pot.

Level 6 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Three players saw a flop of 10♥7♥8♦ when a player in early position bet 3,500. Arlie Brandvold then raised to 10,000 on the button and action folded back around to the early-position player, who moved all in. Brandvold snap-called for 25,000.

Arlie Brandvold: J♥10♦ All in
Opponent: 6♥5♥

Brandvold was ahead with his top pair, while his opponent had straight and flush draws. The J♣ turn improved Brandvold to two pair, and he dodged the 5♣ river to earn the double up.

Level 6 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Stephen Berger moved all in for 12,500 from the small blind and Ken Guffey called in early position. Silas Sneed was in middle position and took a minute, but he eventually folded.

Stephen Berger: Q♠Q♥ All in
Ken Guffey: 3♠3♥

Berger was ahead with his queens as the flop came J♥9♦10♥. "No ace," Sneed said going to the J♦ turn, while the river was the 4♣ and Berger doubled up.

"It's like I just reentered. I was going to do that anyway," Berger said as he doubled back up to around a starting stack.

Level 6 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Craig Pohlmann raised to 2,500 in the cutoff and Robert Hawkenberry called in the small blind. Santiago Gimenez then three-bet to 12,500 in the big blind, and only Pohlmann called.

The flop came 10♠9♠5♦ and Gimenez continued for 8,000. Pohlmann called, and the J♣ fell on the turn.

Gimenez slowed down and checked to Pohlmann, who bet 10,000. Gimenez called and checked again on the Q♠ river. "I got the bottom end," Pohlmann said as checked behind, turning over 8♥8♣ for a straight.

Gimenez showed A♥A♣ and shot out of his seat in frustration, walking away from the table to recollect himself while Pohlmann was pushed the big pot.
