Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 300 ante

Paul Dicesare got it in on the turn of a board that read 8♥9♣4♦Q♦ for 10,800 from the big blind. Jason Badeaux called and put Dicesare at risk.

Paul Dicesare: Q♠J♦ All in
Jason Badeaux: 9♠8♣

Dicesare turned to a pair, but it was no good, as Badeaux flopped two pair. Dicesare needed to hit his gutshot or improve to a higher two pair or trips to stay in contention.

The 5♦ river whiffed on all his outs as Badeaux took down the pot.

Dicesare bought back into the tournament to buy back in for a fresh stack.

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 300 ante

Anthony Teresi shoved for his final 5,100 from early position. Lisa Powers called from the hijack, but Keith Becker opted to three-bet to 22,000 from the cutoff. Powers got out of the way with a fold as Becker had Teresi at risk.

Anthony Teresi: 7♠4♥ All in
Keith Becker: A♣K♣

Teresi and Becker both caught a piece of the flop, but Becker had the bigger piece when it came 6♣5♣K♥, giving Becker top pair and a flush draw. Teresi was not down and out of it, with an open-ended straight draw.

The turn gave both players a made hand when the 3♣ peeled. Teresi improved to an inferior straight as Becker smacked his flush.

The 4♣ completed the board as Teresi was eliminated.

Teresi went to the cage and bought back into the tournament to start with a fresh stack.
