Level 8 : 300/600, 75 ante

Miller flopped a flush with the {q-Hearts}{j-Hearts} but wasn't in the clear with his opponent having the {a-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}. The turn and river ran out {3-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} and Miller was pushed the pot.

Level 9 : 400/800, 100 ante

Aman 'AJ' Singh had both Jason Nablo and Peter Kaemmerlen all in and at risk preflop but was way behind his opponents.

Jason Nablo: {k-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}
Peter Kaemmerlen: {a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}
Aman 'AJ' Singh: {a-Spades}{k-Spades}

Nablo was the shortest stack, in for about 17,000, while Kaemmerlen had about 13,000 more. The board ran out {8-Clubs}{q-Spades}{10-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} and Kaemmerlan scooped the entire pot sending Nablo to rail.
