Tepen Gets In With a Lock
Level 7
: 300/600, 100 ante
Ryan Tepen opened from middle position to 1,300 and got three-bet to 3,600 by Cash Carpenter in the big blind. Tepen made the call, and a 
flop fell. Carpenter bet 4,500, and Tepen called. An 
turned, and Carpenter bet 6,500. Tepen thought for about a minute, staring at Carpenter with a puzzled look before jamming for 16,425. Carpenter quickly called.
Carpenter: 
Tepen: 
Tepen's top two was a lock, and he could only lose some of the pot if another eight hit to make both players eights full of aces. The 
river gave Carpenter a better two pair, but it wasn't enough.

flop, the player bet 5,000 into a pot of about 6,000, and Carpenter shoved all in, putting his opponent at risk for 6,150 more. The player called.

Bybee's Overshove Pays
Level 7
: 300/600, 100 ante
Ross Bybee shoved all in for more than the size of the pot on a board of 
in the hijack. His opponent in the cutoff tanked for a few minutes, contemplating the 12,400 bet into a pot about half of that size. After a few minutes, the player called.
Bybee: 
Cutoff: 
Bybee was up against a draw, and he was the one who improved as the 
river gave him a full house.

Tucker Still Climbing
Level 6
: 200/400, 75 ante
Bernard Lee bet 1,725 into a pot of about 4,000 on a flop. Rodney Spriggs shoved all in for 2,400, and Issac "Rungood" Tucker made the call from the button. Lee called also, and both players checked the turn. On the 
river, Lee checked and then called 7,000 from Tucker.
Tucker showed for trips.
"So sick," Lee said. "So frickin' sick."
Lee said he had ace-king, and we didn't see Spriggs' hand.

Murff Bet-Calls Top Pair
Level 6
: 200/400, 75 ante
David Murff bet 3,000 on a 
flop from the hijack after a few players checked to him. The small blind moved all in for 9,150, and Murff thought for about a minute before calling with 
for top pair. He was ahead, as his opponent had 
for second pair, and Murff's lead was preserved by a turn and 
river.

Walker Binks Turn to KO Three
Level 5
: 150/300, 50 ante
We arrived at Table 15 as the dealer was sorting out side pots for a four-way all in on a flop of 
. After the three pots were separated, the cards were flipped.
Julie Walker: 
Middle position: 
Late position:
Cutoff: 
The player in middle position was in great shape with a set, as the two players with top pair were drawing very slim. Walker found the 
on the turn though, filling her double-gutshot straight draw.
"Pair the board," the player with sevens said.
"Don't pair it," Walker countered.
It was the latter, as a 
fell, and Walker dragged the massive early pot.
