Makin' Bacon With Bacome

Level 6 : 300/600, 600 ante

A player checked a {9-Hearts}{6-Spades}{q-Spades}{k-Clubs} board from the big blind, and Adam Bacome bet 8,000 on the button. The big blind check-raised all in for 22,500, and Bacome went into the tank.

"You gonna show me a set of sixes?" Bacome asked the big blind, who didn't reply. A short time later, Bacome called.

Opponent: {k-Spades}{j-Hearts}
Adam Bacome: {a-Spades}{k-Hearts}

Bacome's kicker proved to be the difference maker when the {k-Diamonds} fell on the river, and he took out his opponent.

Dillon Raises With a Big Draw

Level 6 : 300/600, 600 ante
Matthew Dillon
Matthew Dillon

The hijack raised to 1,000, and the cutoff called. Matthew Dillon three-bet to 3,200 from the button, and only the cutoff called.

Both players checked the {2-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} flop, and the cutoff bet 2,500 when the {a-Hearts} fell on the turn. Dillon raised to 7,500, and the cutoff thought for a few moments before sliding his cards to the dealer. Dillon showed the table {k-Clubs}{5-Clubs} for a flush draw and a gutshot, and took down the pot.

Heilman Survives Three-Way Clash

Level 6 : 300/600, 600 ante
Justin Heilman
Justin Heilman

Two players were all-in before the flop, with the small blind in for around 9,000, while Justin Heilman had his last 17,000 at risk from the big blind. The button had both players covered and called, and the hands were tabled.

Small Blind: {q-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}
Justin Heilman: {7-Clubs}{7-Hearts}
Button: {a-Hearts}{q-Clubs}

Heilman's sevens needed to fade the overs of his two opponents, and he managed to do just that on a clean {2-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{5-Spades}{8-Clubs} runout to eliminate the small blind, while doubling through the button, who busted as well a short time later.

Beegle Fades the "One Time"

Level 7 : 400/800, 800 ante

A player raised to 2,200 from under the gun, and Ben Beegle called in middle position. The hijack three-bet shoved for 10,900, and the under-the-gun player called. Beegle went into the tank for a minute, before finally declaring, "I'm all-in," with a flourish of his remaining 25,000 in chips. The under-the-gun player folded, and the remaining players tabled their hands.

Opponent: {a-Hearts}{6-Spades}
Ben Beegle: {q-Hearts}{q-Spades}

"One time!" said the hijack.

The one time would not come to pass on a {8-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{k-Hearts} runout, however, and Beegle celebrated with a fist pump before claiming the pot and the knockout.
