Level: 10

Leslie Autenreith raised to 3,500 under the gun and both the players in the blinds came along for the ride.
The flop came K♥A♥6♠, the small blind led out for 3,000, the big blind folded, and Autenreith called.
On the 10♣ turn, the small blind led out for 3,000 again and Autenreith bumped it up to 10,000.
The small blind thought for a moment before tossing his cards into the muck.
Action picked up on the flop of Q♠A♠8♦ in a hand between Di Wu in the big blind and the player in middle position.
With 9,500 in the middle, both players checked to the 3♦ turn. Wu checked and middle position bet 5,000. Wu then reraised all in for 27,000 total to put himself at risk and middle position quickly called.
Di Wu: Q♣8♣ 
Middle position: Q♦J♦
Middle position had picked up additional outs with a flush draw on the turn but was unable to get there on the 3♣ river, earning Wu the double up.

Action picked up on the river with a sizable pot brewing between Dylan Ayers in the hijack, Robert Hoag on the button, and the player in the small blind.
With about 45,000 in the middle and the board reading 7♠9♦9♥2♥4♣, the small blind led out with a bet of 20,000 and Ayers called. Hoag then moved all in for 50,100 to put himself at risk. The small blind called and Ayers flashed pocket eights before tossing them into the muck.
Hoag turned over 2♣2♠ for a full house, deuces full of nines, besting the A♦9♣ of the small blind.
