Burke Scores Double Bustout
Level 15
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Level 11: Blinds 1.5k/3k/3k
The under-the-gun player open-shoved for around 30,000 and the middle-position player re-jammed for 94,000 and Tyler Burke went into the tank.
After just a few seconds, Burke made the call to put the other two at risk of elimination.
Under-the-gun: 9♥8♥
Middle position: A♦K♥
Tyler Burke: J♣J♥
Burke was already in the lead with his jacks, and the flop of J♦9♦8♠ vastly improved him to top set. The turn 10♦ gave him a sweat as the ace-king holder now had a diamond draw and gutter ball, but the river 8c] was neither and improved Burke to a full house. Burke then scooped in the large pot to boost him to over 200,000 while his opponents hit the rail.

Tides Turn for Northcraft
Level 15
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Level 12: Blinds 2k/4k/4k
After a preflop betting war, three stacks found their way into the middle, with Eddy Northcraft covering.
Player 1: Q♥8♥
Player 2: Q♦Q♠
Eddy Northcraft: A♦8♦
The player holding queens had a sizeable lead going into this bout, but the flop of 9♠A♠2♥ immediately turned the tide in Northcraft's favor with a pair of aces.
The runout of 6♠4♦ failed to provide any help to the at-risk players and they were eliminated while Northcraft raked in the substantial pot to boost him to 550,000.

Bunce Binks the King
Level 15
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Level 12: Blinds 2k/4k/4k
After losing a big hand prior, the cutoff moved all in for around 15,000 and then Travis Bunce shoved over the top for much more to isolate. The rest of the table quickly folded and the two players tabled their cards.
Cutoff: 2♥2♣
Travis Bunce: A♦K♦
The at-risk player was a smidge ahead of Bunce with his pocket deuces, but the runout of 7♣Q♠J♥K♥3♣ gave Bunce the king on the turn to take the pot.

Riga Rolls with Royalty
Level 15
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Level 12: Blinds 2k/4k/4k
After being called down on all streets by Michael Lech, Susan Riga moved all in when the river hit the board of 4♥9♦10♠4♦6♣.
"Ugh, I think I'm gonna have to call you," Lech sighed as he tossed in the chips and flipped over A♦10♥ for tens and fours.
Unfortunately for him, Riga then rolled over Q♦Q♣ for a superior two-pair and after a count, it was revealed that she had Lech covered and he was therefore eliminated.

: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Level 13: Blinds 3k/5k/5k
Edward Northcraft opened to 15,000 but then Thomas Houston shoved on him for 65,000 to his left and action folded back around.
"Hmmmm... I've got your hand," Northcraft admitted shortly before making the call to put Houston at risk.
"Ace-nine?" Houston asked as he flipped over Q♠Q♦.
"Yep," Northcraft confirmed as he tabled A♥9♥.
The board ran out 7♥4♣6♠3♠9♠ in favor of Houston to award him the pot for the double-up.

Burchfield Bounces Back
Level 15
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Level 13: Blinds 3k/5k/5k
Kris Burchfield opened to 10,000 from middle position and it folded around to the big blind who made the call to see the flop of 2♥8♥6♣.
The big blind checked to Burchfield who then put out a feeler bet of 8,000. His opponent then moved all in and Burchfield snap-called so fast he burned his hand on the felt.
Kris Burchfield: A♥A♦
Opponent: 10♠10♣
The runout of 4♥K♣ ran out pure for him and Burchfield was pushed the pot for a huge double up to over 200,000.

P.O.T.I.S. - Commander in Chips
Level 15
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Level 14: Blinds 3k/6k/6k
After a small open from Anthony Potis on the button, Brent Gregory three-bet to 35,000 from the small blind.
Potis thought for a second before making the call to see a flop of Q♦10♦9♠. Gregory then put out a continuation bet of 25,000, which Potis called to see the Q♣ appear on the turn.
Gregory then decided to slow down and checked over to Potis, who then took the lead and bet 20,000. Gregory thought about it for a few seconds and then slid out a stack of blue 1,000 chips to make the call.
On the river 4♦, Gregory checked once more, to which Potis responded by setting out a bet of 100,000, covering Gregory.
Gregory went into the tank for a solid minute before he finally slid his cards into the muck to award the pot over to Potis.
