Level 14 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Korey Barron raised to 16,000 on the button and Craig Welko called in the small blind.

Barron continued for 16,000 on the J♦8♥6♦ flop, and Welko called. Barron then bet 27,000 on the 6♣ turn, and Welko folded this time.

A spectator standing by the table then began cheering as Barron raked in the pot. "What are you rooting for him for?" Mike Hurley asked.

"He's my best friend," the railbird replied.

"That's pretty much the best answer you can have. He gave me a kidney," Keith Heine added.

Keith Heine raised to 12,000 under the gun before Craig Welko three-bet to 32,000 on the button. Heine called, and they went heads-up to the Q♥3♥2♦ flop.

Both players checked to the 8♦ turn, where Welko bet 26,000. Heine called, and the 10♠ fell on the river. Welko then bet 25,000, and Heine again called.

Welko showed 10♦10♥ for a rivered set, and Heine mucked.

Level 13 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Mitchell Semple bet 15,000 from the button on a flop of 4♣7♠6♦ and Matt Perlman called in the big blind.

Semple bet another 15,000 on the 5♣ turn, and Perlman again called. The river was the K♥ and Perlman moved all in for 100,000. Semple let out a loud groan and stood up from his seat before putting in the chips to call.

Perlman showed A♠3♦ for a straight, but Semple had 8♥7♥ for a higher straight to win the pot and send Perlman to the rail.

"What were you afraid of?" Kim Parrish asked him.

Rob Rottman moved all in for 70,000 from under the gun and Kim Parrish reshoved from the hijack to chase away the rest of the table. "I'm in trouble," Rottman said even before the cards were revealed.

Rob Rottman: A♣Q♣ All in
Kim Parrish: A♥A♠

Rottman's instincts proved correct as Parrish turned over two aces. "My first one," she said, and the 8♠6♠8♥4♥4♦ board kept her in the lead to send Rottman to the rail.
