Jesse McVicker raised to 7,000 under the gun, Harvey Castro flatted in middle position, and William Pengelly three-bet to 25,000 in the cutoff.
McVicker then moved all in to put both of his opponents at risk, resulting in two folds.
Debbie Lee was down to just a few big blinds and moved all in from under the gun to put herself at risk. Shannon Lee, who slightly covered, jammed in the hijack, and Brian Green, who had both of his opponents covered, called in the cutoff.
Debbie Lee: A♣Q♥ 
Shannon Lee: 8♠8♦
Brian Green: A♠K♣
The flop came J♦6♠6♥ with Shannon still in the lead. Debbie pulled ahead on the Q♣ turn, pairing her queen, and the 7♠ rolled off on the river to secure her the triple up.
Level: 11
Blinds: 1,500/3,000
Ante: 3,000
Alain Raad raised to 5,000 in the hijack and the player in the small blind called. The flop came 10♦3♣5♣ and the small blind check-called a bet of 4,000 from Raad.
On the J♥ turn, the small blind check-raised all in for 35,500 over Raad's bet of 13,000. Raad went into the tank before ultimately deciding to make the call.
Small blind: K♥J♠
Alain Raad: A♣A♦
The 2♥ river was safe for Raad and the small blind was sent to the rail.

Debbie Lee raised to 3,000 in middle position and was called by John Ryan on the button and William Pengelly in the small blind.
The flop of 4♦A♣2♠ checked through to the 3♣ turn. It checked to Ryan on the button, who bet 3,500, and only Lee called.
The river fell the 4♣, completing any backdoor flush draws, and Lee fired out a big bet of 20,000. Ryan thought for a moment before surrendering his hand.
Action picked up on the river in a hand between Eric Chang in the small blind and Debbie Lee in the big blind.
With just under 50,000 in the middle and the board reading 2♥J♣7♠A♠6♠, Chang checked and Lee moved all in for 60,500 to put herself at risk.
Chang went into the tank, thinking out loud, before reluctantly tossing his cards into the muck.
