Level 7 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Dessiree Bennett
Dessiree Bennett

Five players saw a flop of J♦10♠7♦ for 2,500 each. The big blind led out with an all in wager of his roughly 13,000 stack. The original raiser from under the gun got out of the way before Dessiree Bennett rejammed for 33,700 from middle position, and all subsequent action folded.

Big Blind: J♥10♥ All in
Dessiree Bennett: 6♦5♦

The big blind had flopped top two pair against the flush draw of Bennett. No waiting was required on the Q♦ turn as Bennett made her flush. The 7♥ river paired the board, but not the pair that the big blind needed to fill up, and he was eliminated while Bennett scooped a big one.

Level 5 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Omar Rodriguez opened to 1,800 from middle position and the button flatted. In the small blind, Jhonathan Taborda squeezed to 7,400, and both opponents called.

On the A♥9♥5♦ flop, Taborda opted to check to Rodriguez who bet 6,500. The button got out of the way but Taborda quickly flicked in the call.

With 36,000 in the middle, Taborda checked again on the 9♦ turn. Rodriguez put out a stack of red T-5,000 chips to ask for the remainder of Taborda's 29,000 stack. After a minute's tank, he elected to fold, and Rodriguez dragged yet another pot as he stack grows well over six figures.

Danny Panagatos opened from the cutoff and Carlos Gonzalez flatted in the small blind. In the big blind, Suru Patel squeezed to 6,000, and both opponents called.

On the 7♦4♦2♣ flop, Gonzalez checked to Patel who jammed for just over 37,000. Panagatos folded after a minute's tank, and Gonzalez quickly followed suit.

"Good fold," Patel said as he tabled A♥A♣, "What did you have, tens?"

"Better," Panagatos replied.
