Level 7 : 400/800, 800 ante

There was around 5,000 in the middle from preflop action between David Leon in middle position and Ken Blanton, who was in the cutoff. The flop came and Leon bet 2,800. Blanton called.

The turn fell and Leon slowed down, tapping the felt to check. Blanton responded by putting the petal to the metal, shoving all in for what appeared to be 17,000. Leon thought for about 10 seconds and let his hand go, giving up contention to the pot along the way as it was shipped to Blanton without the hand coming close to a showdown.

Hill Kerby

Level 7 : 400/800, 800 ante

A player in early position opened to 1,800 and got a call from a player on his left as well as Dusti Smith, who was in middle position. Action then folded around to the player on the button, who shoved all in for around 19,000. All players folded back to Smith, who made the call.

All-In Player:
Dusti Smith:

The two were off to the races as the flop came , leaving Smith further out in front than she started. She pulled away even further as the turn fell , leaving one card left to sweat for the knockout. The river fell to secure the elimination, effectively doubling in the process to bring her total chip count to more than double that of starting stack.
