Erick Torres

Level 10 : Blinds 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante

The hand began when a player in early position raised to 6,500 and was called by a player from the middle position.

Danny Chang wanted to play for it all and jammed for 20,000 from the big blind. The early position player called to put Chang at risk, and the middle position player folded.

Danny Chang: A♦K♣ All in
Opponent: 7♦7♠

Chang needed help, and the cavalry came on the flop when it fanned out 3♦K♦K♠ to give Chang trips.

The J♠ turn, and the 3♣ river upgraded Chang to a full house to stay in the hunt on Day 1d.

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

A player from early position raised to 5,000, which garnered calls from the small blind and Chad Fredericksen in the big blind.

All three players checked through the 8♥J♦2♠ flop to bring the Q♣ turn. Both blinds checked again, and the early position player opted to bet 7,500. The small blind folded, but Fredericksen was not done with the hand and made the call.

It went check-check on the 8♠ river. Fredericksen tabled J♣9♠ for two pair, which was good enough as the early position player folded their hand.

Player	Chips	Progress
Chad Fredericksen	98,000 56,900	56,900

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Three players were entangled in an all-in pot preflop when Randy Falk shipped it for 32,000 and was called in two spots from the hijack and cutoff to be at risk.

Hijack: 8♠8♣ All in
Randy Falk: 10♥10♣ All in
Cutoff: 2♦2♥

The 6♦5♣A♦K♠9♥ runout changed nothing about the standings as Falk secured the pot and eliminated the hijack in the process.
