Rob Rottman got in his last 25,000 from the cutoff on a flop of 10♣7♣8♣, SC also reshoved from the big blind, and James Bequette in middle position had both players covered and at risk.

Rob Rottman: A♣Q♠ All in
SC: 7♠7♦ All in
James Bequette: A♥8♦

SC was ahead with his flopped set, but the 2♣ turn gave Rottman the nut flush and the lead. The river was the J♣ and he tripled up, while SC and Bequette chopped the small side pot.

SC was left with 12,000 after the hand and was eliminated shortly afterward.

Tyler Breeding raised to 4,500 under the gun, Bill Haner three-bet to 12,000 in early position, and Breeding called.

The flop came K♦2♦5♥ and Haner bet 17,000. Breeding then moved all in, and Haner let out a loud sigh as he took a minute before calling for his last 70,000.

Bill Haner: A♥K♠ All in
Tyler Breeding: 5♦4♦

Haner was ahead with top pair against Breeding's pair and flush draw, but the 9♦ turn gave Breeding his flush. The river was the Q♣, and Haner was sent to the rail.

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Korey Barron bet 8,000 from early position on a flop of A♦8♠6♦ and Rob Rottman called in middle position, as did Andros Ioakimides in the hijack.

Matt Perlman raised to 4,500 on the button and Mitchell Semple called in the small blind. The big blind then three-bet to 16,500, and Perlman moved all in. Semple got out of the way, while the big blind called for 70,000.

All-In Player: J♠J♦ All in
Matt Perlman: K♣K♦

Perlman had his opponent dominated and at risk with his kings as the flop came Q♦10♦6♦. The at-risk player picked up a flush draw, while the 9♠ turn also gave him a straight draw. The 4♣ river, though, was no help, and Perlman took the pot to send his opponent to the rail.
