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

A player from early position chose to raise it to 16,000 before Barbara Lanese asked for it all when she jammed to put her opponent to a decision for his tournament life.

Erick Torres

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Rodney Danger was one of three players who got their chips in preflop. Danger and Rip Fritzer were both at risk against an opponent from early position.

Rip Fritzer: 5♦5♠ All in
Rodney Danger: J♥J♠ All in
Opponent: A♦K♥

Danger held the lead, but needed to avoid plenty of pitfalls to secure the double.

The 10♦10♥6♦ flop was a good one for Danger. The J♦ improved him to a full house, effectively ending the hand.

The 5♥ river improved Fritzer to an inferior full house as Danger scooped the pot.
