Faro Triples Up; Dickstein Back in the Mix
Level 2
: 200/300, 300 ante
Short stacks Mark Dickstein and Timothy Faro moved all in preflop for around 3,000 each and were called by James Sloat to put them at risk.
Mark Dickstein: 6♥8♠
Timothy Faro: A♠K♥
James Sloat: 5♥5♦
Sloat's pocket fives were good on the turn board of 2♥2♦9♠3♣, but the river A♥ gave the win to Faro for a triple-up while Dickstein headed to the registration desk.

Yat Wai Cheng opened to 600 from the cutoff and was then three-bet by Chris Conrad from the small blind to 3,000 after the button made the call. Cheng then put in the four-bet to 8,200 and the button quickly folded but Conrad moved all in with his fresh stack of around 27,000.
Cheng pondered his decision for a few moments before letting his cards go and Conrad was awarded the pot.

Panozzo Flops the Joint
Level 3
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
On a heads-up completed board of J♥8♦7♥A♣6♣, Brian Stroh had made it 10,000 to go but then Scott Panozzo raised the price of poker to 26,000.
Stroh then went into the tank for a good thirty seconds, debating within himself whether to make the call or not.
He eventually tossed in the chips but was then shown 9♦10♦ by Panozzo for the flopped nut straight and Stroh looked very surprised as he quickly tossed his cards into the muck.
