Level 8
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Monte Failoni raised to 3,000 under the gun before an early-position player three-bet to 8,000. Merle Bierschenk called in the hijack, and Penn Swindle then moved all in for 26,600 in the big blind. Failoni got out of the way, but both the early-position player and Bierschenk called.
Bierschenk then bet 19,500 on the K♠8♠3♦ flop, and the early-position player folded.
Penn Swindle: Q♥Q♦ 
Merle Bierschenk: K♦9♦
Bierschenk had flopped top pair to take the lead over Swindle's queens, and the board ran out J♣9♠ to improve him to two pair and send Swindle to the rail.
