Level 11 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Hanh Do shoved all in for 23,000 in the cutoff and Nicholas Rigby reshoved all in for 31,000 on the button. Owen Gazette was in the big blind and called with the big stack to put both players at risk.

Hanh Do: K♦Q♣ All in
Nicholas Rigby: A♥9♥ All in
Owen Gazette: A♦K♥

The flop came 9♠8♣7♣ and Rigby was the lone player to make a pair. The 4♣ on the turn changed nothing but the Q♦ on the river sent Do into celebration as he doubled up with a pair of queens.

Rigby, who was once sitting on a stack of around 150,000 earlier today, was now left with just 16,000 after taking the side pot.

Player	Chips	Progress
Owen Gazette	245,000 227,000	227,000
Hanh Do	72,000

Level 11 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Teresa Lammie limped in from the hijack and Josh Butler raised to 9,500 on the button. The blinds folded and Lammie called to see a flop of A♠K♠8♥.

"I might bust this hand, but whatever," Lammie said as she flicked in her chips preflop.

Lammie check-called a bet of 12,000 from Butler on the flop and the 5♠ landed on the turn. Both players checked this time and the 9♥ completed the board. Lammie splashed in a bet of 15,000 and Butler slung his cards to the muck. Lammie did the table a favor and showed her K♦7♦ for a pair of kings.

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

William Henrick opened to 5,000 in early position and was called by the button. BJ McBrayer three-bet to 18,000 out of the big blind which got Henrick to fold but the button still called.

The flop came A♠7♦5♠ and McBrayer led out with a bet of 15,000. The button ripped all in and McBrayer quickly called off his stack of 64,500.

BJ McBrayer: A♦Q♣ All in
Opponent: A♣J♦

McBrayer held a dominating lead and the 3♥, 10♥ runout left it that way, securing him the double up. McBrayer is another player looking to bag a second stack in as many flights, after finishing with 103,000 chips on Day 1a.

BJ McBrayer	138,000 35,000	35,000

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

Josh Butler opened to 3,500 from under the gun and Torey Byrne shipped all in for 14,500 on the button. Jacob Foley flat-called in the small blind and Butler called as well.

The flop came A♠7♦2♣ and the action checked through on the side pot to the 3♥ on the turn and the 4♥ on the river. Foley checked for the third time and Butler finally tossed in a bet of 25,000. Foley let his hand go and the remaining two hands were tabled.

Butler flipped over 5♠5♦ for a rivered straight while Byrne held A♣4♣ for two pair.

"That was gross!" Byrne said after the hand. "Check, check, check like chickens," Byrne laughed afterward.

Josh Butler	201,000

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

Ashley Frank was one of the late reentries during the last break and didn't waste much time before getting her stack of 30,000 chips into the middle. She was heads-up in the blinds with Timothy Earls and Frank held the preflop advantage.

Ashley Frank: A♠J♣ All in
Timothy Earls: Q♣10♦

The flop came K♣Q♠6♦ and Earls picked up a pair of queens to take the lead. There was no help for Frank on the runout and she was eliminated on Day 1b.

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

Samuel Brackstone raised to 3,500 in early position and was called by Hannah Anito in the hijack and the button. The flop came 8♦4♦3♣ and the action checked to Anito who ripped all in for 27,000. The button folded but Brackstone quickly called.

Hannah Anito: 2♣2♦ All in
Samuel Brackstone: 4♥4♣

Brackstone flopped a set of fours and had Anito drawing extremely thin. The J♥ on the turn left Anito drawing dead to the 6♦ on the river.
