Level 7 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Skyler Sand
Skyler Sand

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.

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.

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.

Tim Hughes raised to 2,800 in early position and Dan Larson called in the cutoff. The small blind then moved all in for 4,700 and Hughes called. Larson attempted to reshove, but the dealer told him he could only call.

Hughes and Larson checked down the 4♣J♠A♣6♦7♣ board. Larson showed Q♥Q♠, Hughes mucked 8♠8♣, and the at-risk player also sent his cards into the muck as Larson took the pot and knockout.

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.

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.

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.
