Level 16
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Kimberly Stone was the first player to stick her remaining 62,000 chips in the middle from middle position. Andrew Vodinh just flat-called in the cutoff and Grant Matatall reshoved all in for 225,000 on the button.
Alexandra Loveless went into the tank from the small blind but eventually folded, announcing she had ace-king suited after the action was complete. Vodinh folded to complete the action and the two remaining hands were face up.
Kimberly Stone: K♠Q♣
Grant Matatall: 8♥8♣
It was a coin flip between the remaining players and the flop of A♣10♣5♣ gave Stone a wealth of outs. The K♥ on the turn was one of those outs and the 10♠ completed the board. Loveless was left with her hands on her head thinking of what could have been if she clicked a different button.

Alexandra Loveless opened to 24,000 in the cutoff and Dhillon Reddy defended from the big blind. The flop fell 5♣5♦4♦ and Loveless continued with a bet of 22,000. Reddy check-raised to 70,000 and Loveless just called.
The turn was the A♦ and Reddy checked again. Loveless pushed out a hefty bet of 155,000, sending Reddy into the tank for a couple of minutes before deciding to muck his cards.

Colin Wienken had been nursing the short stack for some time, getting his shoves through with no contest. However, after moving all in for just over 50,000 from under the gun, Franco Zaplana woke up with a premium hand in the small blind and called.
Colin Wienken: 6♠6♥
Franco Zaplana: Q♥Q♣
The flop came Q♠J♥9♥ which left Zaplana with a stranglehold on the hand. The A♠ and 7♥ runout was insignificant, sending Wienken home late in the night.
Level 15
: 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Five players headed to the flop where the dealer fanned the Q♠7♠2♠ across the felt. Franco Zaplana led out with a bet of 45,000 from the small blind and was called by Hayden Fortini in the hijack and Alexandra Loveless on the button.
The 9♠ on the turn slowed the action as all three players checked to the 5♥ on the river. It checked to Loveless again and this time she pushed out a bet of 140,000. Zaplana slid in chips to call and Fortini got out of the way. Loveless flipped over A♠J♥ for the nut flush which was more than enough to best Zaplana's Q♣10♠.

: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Dhillon Reddy raised to 16,000 from under the gun and Kristopher Burchfield jammed all in for 115,000 in the cutoff. The action was back on Reddy who instantly called to put Burchfield at risk.
Kristopher Burchfield: K♣Q♦
Dhillon Reddy: A♥K♦
Reddy was the one in a dominating position and he held that lead through the 9♥7♣5♠ flop. The 8♣ on the turn provided some chop outs and the K♠ on the river was not enough for Burchfield to stay alive.
Level 14
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Franco Zaplana raised it up from the hijack and Hayden Fortini defended from the big blind. The flop came 9♣8♣5♦ and both players checked to the 3♥ on the turn.
Fortini led out with a bet of 16,000 and Zaplana raised to 36,000. Fortini called and the 3♠ paired the board on the river. Fortini checked this time and Zaplana threw in a bet of 30,000. Fortini thought for a minute before laying his hand down, much to his delight after Zaplana showed the A♠A♣.
