On a three-way flop of 9♦A♦5♣, Kevin Pham bet 3,500 after it was checked to him and he was called by Jin Kim and Jesse Garcia.

The turn was the 6♠ and Garcia checked, Pham continued for 8,000 and was called by Kim while Garcia decided to get out of the way.

When the river fell the 10♠, Pham thought for a few seconds before he moved all in for 23,700 and received a fold from Kim to award him the pot.

Level 7 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

James Hartigan opened to 2,500 preflop and was called by Brian Del Rosario to see a flop of J♣3♥A♣.

Hartigan then moved all in to cover Del Rosario, who only had around 10,000 behind.

"Well, I don't have anything right now..." Del Rosario admitted, but he made the call anyway to put himself at risk.

Brian Del Rosario: K♦Q♣ All in
James Hartigan: K♠J♠

Hartigan was in good shape with his pair of jack with a king, and the runout of 2♣5♥ awarded him the pot while Del Rosario found the exit.

Level 8 : Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

On a heads-up flop of 6♠7♥8♣, Scott Dobbins checked to his opponent, Ronald Ponferrada, who bet 6,500. Dobbins then tossed out a call and the two went to the turn 4♠.

Dobbins checked, Pnferrada fired for 17,000, and Dobbins replied by moving all in. Ponferrada quickly called to put himself at risk and flipped over A♠A♥, but quickly realized he was drawing stone dead once Dobbins flipped over 9♣10♠ for the nut straight.

The river 5♠ ironically put a straight on the board while the pot was pushed to Dobbins while Ponferrada headed to the exit.

Level 8 : Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Rommel Santos opened to 4,800 and Rommel Santos moved all in right behind him for 11,200 total. When the action folded back around to him, Santos made the call to put Holcomb at risk.

David Holcomb: A♥8♦[alin]
Rommel Santos: 5♣5♥

Holcomb would need to improve to win this flip, but the runout of J♣6♣K♠Q♦Q♥ failed to do so and he was sent to the rail while Santos dragged the pot.
