Level 8
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Melissa King raised to 4,000 in early position, Jon Maras moved all in for 22,300 on the button, and King called.
Jon Maras: A♠K♦ 
Melissa King: Q♦Q♥
It was a classic flip, and Maras took the lead on the 6♣9♦K♣ flop with top pair. The rest of the board ran out 6♥6♦, and Maras finished with a full house to double up.
The next hand, a player in the hijack bet 5,000 on a flop of 4♣K♥2♣ and Maras shoved again for 44,500 in the cutoff. Myrddin McHugh called in the big blind, while the hijack got out of the way.
Jon Maras: 4♥4♠
Myrddin McHugh: A♣7♣
Maras was ahead with a set, while McHugh was chasing a flush draw. The 8♠ turn was safe for Maras, while he again made a full house on the 8♥ river and doubled up once more.
