Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Jacob Solis raised to 2,100 from early position and was called by Blaine Rees from middle position before Steven Gunther opted to re-raise to 8,500. Gunther wasted little time before he jammed all-in for 36,100. Rees folded, but Solis quickly called to put Gunther at risk.

Steven Gunther: J♥J♣All in
Jacob Solis: A♦K♦

Gunther held the lead going into the runout, and the flop did not compromise that lead as it came 4♦2♣8♥. Solis struck gold on the turn when it came the K♠ to improve Solis to a better pair.

Just as Gunther was about to get up, the J♠ river saved him from demise as it upraded him to a set of jacks to secure the double.

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Blaine Rees opened the action with a raise from early position before Allen Bostick re-raised to 4,000 from the cutoff. Arcadio Aguirre called from the small blind, and Rees came along with a call to create a three-handed pot.

The 10♠J♦K♠ flop led to a check from Aguirre and Rees before Bostick elected to bet 9,000. Both Aguirre and Rees called to keep the pot three-handed as they went to a turn.

The 10♦ turn led to a check from Aguirre before Rees opted to bet 4,000. Bostick responded with an all-in, which led to a couple of more all-ins as Aguirre and Rees put their chips in to be at risk against Bostick.

Arcadio Aguirre: 9♣9♥All in
Blaine Rees: Q♠10♦All in
Allen Bostick: A♣K♥

Rees had the best hand of the bunch with his trip tens, and the river did not sink his hand as it peeled the J♣ to improve Rees to a full house.

Rees took down the main pot while Bostick was left scooping the side pot against Aguirre.

Bostick busted shortly after, but was seen entering back into the tournament to start with a fresh stack of 30,000.
