All players returning are already in the money, with $855 already locked up as a min-cash. The first-place finisher will earn a nice sum of $33,565, the RunGood ring, and a package to the Dream Seat invitational at Thunder Valley after Thanksgiving.

Millstone-Schacke Stacks some Chips
Level 14
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
On a heads-up turn of 2♦5♦A♠10♠, Bruno Somoon and Susan Millstone-Schacke got all their chips into the middle, with Somoon covering.
Susan Millstone-Schacke: K♠K♥
Bruno Somoon: 8♦10♦
Millstone-Schacke was ahead with her pair of kings, but still needed to dodge an eight, ten, or diamond on the river.
Luckily for her, the board completed with the Q♠ and she was awarded the pto for the double-up.

Moss Drills the Flop
Level 14
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Bhargav Kakani moved all in preflop and was called by shorter-stacked Hunter Moss.
Hunter Moss: A♥4♥
Bhargav Kakani: 7♥7♠
Kakani was in the lead with his pocket pair, but the flop of A♦8♦K♥ quickly gave the lead to Moss with his ace.
The runout of 10♠2♠ changed nothing and the pot was shipped over to Moss for a full double-up while Kakani was left short.

Grabic Sends out Sowers
Level 14
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
On a heads-up flop of Q♥4♥9♠, Jasmin Grabic led out for 50,000 and Steve Sowers made the call to see the 10♣ appear on the turn.
Both players then decided to check to the river Q♥ and Grabic fired for another 50,000.
Sowers then moved all in for around 20,000 more and Grabic made the calle to put him at risk.
"If you got a queen, you got me," Sowers said as he tabled K♦10♦ for queens and tens, but Grabic indeed had a queen as he flipped over Q♦J♦ to eliminate Sowers.
