Level 24
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Mike Estes raised to 120,000 under the gun, Jon Lawson flatted in the small blind, and Robert Sherraden called in the big blind.
The flop came 9♥10♣3♦ and it checked to Sherraden who moved all in for 505,000 to put himself at risk. Estes made the call and Lawson then moved all in to put Estes at risk who had 1,900,000 behind. Estes went into the tank debating whether or not to call it off. He elected to fold and later mentioned that he had queen-jack.
Robert Sherraden: Q♣10♠ 
Jon Lawson: 10♦10♥
The 2♦ turn and 7♦ river offered no help to Sherraden and his impressive tournament run came to an end.

Jon Lawson raised to 155,000 on the button and Mike Estes defended in the big blind.
The flop of 6♦6♠6♣ went check-check, bringing the 5♦ turn. Estes check-called a bet of 125,000 from Estes and the 8♥ landed on the river.
Estes checked again and Lawson tossed out a bet of 300,000. Estes then made it 800,000 to go, prompting Lawson to think for a moment before making the call.
"King-high," said Estes as Lawson turned over K♣K♦ for a full house to take down the pot.

Action went heads-up to a flop of Q♥10♠K♦ in a hand between Mike Estes in the small blind and Nolan Garrett in the big blind.

The 8♦ fell on the river, Estes checked, and Garrett fired out a bet of 140,000.
"I just don't see you firing a bluff here," said Estes as he tossed his cards into the muck.
Garrett flashed J♦6♠ for the missed straight draw as he dragged in the pot.
"You did fire a bluff there," remarked Estes.

Mike Estes raised to 125,000 in the hijack and Nolan Garrett three-bet jammed for 400,000 in the cutoff to put himself at risk. Jon Lawson cold called in the small blind as did Ryan Ramsdell in the big blind. Estes decided to stick around as well.
The flop came 10♥2♠5♥ and Lawson led out for a bet of 400,000. Ramsdell then moved all in for about 925,000 to put himself at risk, prompting Estes to fold and Lawson to snap call.
Nolan Garrett: J♠J♥
Ryan Ramsdell: Q♦Q♣
Jon Lawson: 10♠10♦
Lawson was ready to scoop a massive pot with a set of tens but Garrett improved to a set of jacks on the J♣ turn.
The river fell the 8♣ and Garrett quadrupled up to stay alive. Lawson won the side pot and Ramsdell was sent to the rail.
