Level 8
: 400/800, 100 ante
A player in the big blind bet 2,000 into Clint Tolbert on an 
flop. Tolbert moved in for 12,200, causing his opponent to tank.
"I'm pretty sure I have the best hand right now," the big blind said.
"Prove it!" Tolbert said with a laugh. "I don't care what you do, I'm just gonna go rebuy if I lose."
Finally, the player called, but he only proved how far behind he was, as he had 
, outkicked by Tolbert's 
, which had a flush draw to boot. A 
gave Tolbert a sweat since his opponent picked up some outs, but the 
river was safe.

Martin:

Martin's pair and flush draw was really just a pair, as Sanders had aces and eights. No clubs arrived on the 
turn and 
river, giving Sanders the pot.

Steven Baker put his last 14,000 in from the small blind after a 
flop in a multi-way pot. One player called, another folded, and a third tanked a bit before folding the 
face up.
"That any good?" he said.
"I hope so, because that's all I've got," Baker said, tabling 
.
He was in luck, as his opponent turned over a flush draw: . A turn gave the player an open-ended straight as well, but the mercifully paired the board for Baker.

We found three players' hands turned over before the flop at one of the tables. The shortest stack had about 10,000 and was holding 
, while Brandon Nemeth had 
and about 5,000 more. A third player had put both at risk with 
.
The dealer spread a flop, giving Nemeth life with a flush draw.
"Heart," he said. "Heart."
An improved the position of the short stack slightly, but a river gave Nemeth the flush he needed to survive.
