Level 12
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Derek Stark opened to 8,000 from early position. James Takahashi called on the button, and Shaun Emery defended his big blind to send the trio to a flop.
All three players checked the 9♣7♣6♥ flop.
Emery and Stark checked the 5♣ turn before Takahashi bet 8,000. Emery folded, but Stark stuck around with a call.
The 10♠ river led to a check from both remaining players. Takahashi tabled J♥10♥ which was enough to take down the pot as Stark threw his hand in the muck.

The chips got in between Huan Cung and Vincent Cardinale, with Cardinale at risk for his tournament life.
Vincent Cardinale: Q♣Q♥
Huan Cung: A♣A♦
Cardinale was way behind before the flop, then way ahead after the flop as it fanned out 8♦Q♠9♣ to give Cardinale a set of queens.
The 3♥ turn and the 7♦ river did not change the standings as Cardinale secured the double.

2024 RGPS Player of the Year Brian Winter raised to 6,500 and was called by Jesse Garcia in the cutoff and Belal Abdul-Khaliq in the big blind.

The 6♦ turn led to checks from both remaining players.
Winter put out a bet of 15,000 on the K♥ river. Garcia announced he had a full house as he made the call and showed K♦J♦. Winter folded to yield the pot to Garcia.

There was over 30,000 in the pot on the board of 3♥6♦5♠9♠ when this hand was picked up. Robert Hernandez bet 8,500 from early position and was raised to 23,500 by Daniel Hughes in middle position. Hernandez gave it some thought before he chose to jam to put Hughes all-in. Hughes did not think long before he committed his remaining stack of 128,000 to be at risk and go to a showdown.
Daniel Hughes: 5♦4♥
Robert Hernandez: K♦Q♥
Hughes had the best of it with a pair and a straight draw, while Hernandez held the overcards.
The 5♥ river improved Hughes to trip fives to score a sizeable double up as it pushed him past 300,000 in chips.
