Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

A player in first position called with Trent Wilson calling just behind him and another called in middle position. Action folded around to Ashley "PokerFaceAsh" Frank in the small blind who raised to 2,200. The initial caller raised to 5,100 and action folded around to Frank who called.

The flop came out K♣9♠Q♥ which saw Frank check and the first position player bet bet 5,300.

Frank responded by moving all in and the big blind quickly disposed of their hand, ceding the pot to Frank who added a decent pot to her stack in the early levels.

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Joshua Bozarth raised to 1,000 from middle position and Victor Ramirez three bet to 3,000 from late position. In the hijack, Joey Gargiulo moved all in for 10,600 and action folded back to Ramirez who called.

Joey Gargiulo: JxJx
Victor Ramirez: Ax10x

The flop of Jx2x4x gave Gargiulo top set and a near lock on the hand, but the board ran out 3x5x to give Ramirez a wheel to scoop the pot and the two-time RGPS ring winner exited the tournament area.

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Action was picked up on flop between Pete Petree in the late position and another player in the cutoff with a pot of 3,100 already having been built.

The flop came out 2♣J♣10♠ and Petree check-called a bet of 3,000 from his opponent.

On the K♣ turn, action checked through to the 9♣ river where Petree bet 11,000 and his opponent went into the tank before folding. The RGPS Tulsa Champion took down the pot to push his chips in the right direction as the first few levels of the day tick down.
