Level 12: 2,000/4,000/4,000

Jason Rogers raised to 9,000 from under the gun and Rose Cooner called from the big blind. The flop was Q♣4♥Q♥ and Cooner check-folded when Rogers bet 10,000. Rogers showed the Q♦ and took the pot.

Meanwhile, Kevin Grinder and John Carothers clashed on a nearby table. The action was heads up with 7♣3♣K♠ on the board and a big pot growing in the middle. Carothers got it in for what looked like his remaining 55,000 and Grinder called.

John Carothers: 3♠3♦ All in
Kevin Grinder: A♦A♠

The board finished up J♣6♥ and Carothers held on with his set of threes to leave Grinder with less than the starting stack.

"They should call this RunBad," Grinder said. "That's the third time I've lost with aces this week."

Level 10: 1,000/2,000/2,000

Action was heads up with a full board of 7♣2♥J♠J♥8♦ when Johnnie Frost shoved 67,000 and Cody Stanford went into the tank. After a few moments of thought, Stanford got away from it and gave up the pot. The lost pot slows down what has been an otherwise terrific afternoon for Stanford.

A few moments later, Jaymie Virtusio raised to 6,500 on a flop of 9♣7♣Q♦ and Jack Keller III shoved for 35,500 from the next seat over. Frost called and Virtusio shook her head while she tossed her hand in the muck. Action was heads up with the defending RGPS Tunica champion at risk.

Jack Keller III: Q♠J♦ All in
Johnnie Frost: Q♣10♦

The board ran out 4♣4♥ and Keller secured a big pot on his quest for back-to-back titles.
