Level 4
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Action picked up three-ways to the turn with the board reading J♣10♦9♥J♦ with about 12,000 in the middle.
It checked to Mohamed Serry in middle position who bet 6,000. Robert Ersing then jammed for 11,400 in the cutoff, and Edward McDonough flatted in the big blind.
With the action back on Serry, he attempted to jam for his 56,000 stack. However, since the first raise was not enough to re-open the action, he was forced to just call the 11,400.
Serry and McDonough still had a sidepot to the K♣ river which saw McDonough check-folded to a bet of 2,100 from Serry, showing K♦9♦ for a missed flush draw.
Robert Ersing: K♠Q♥ 
Mohamed Serry: K♥Q♣
Both players flopped the nut straight, and the pot was chopped with some overlay from McDonough.
At another table, Will Givens was absent from his seat for more than the first two hours of play, with his stack blinding down. However, he took his seat in Level 4 and immediately doubled in the first orbit, currently sitting around 50,000.

Farid Labib-Kiyarash from early position and Todd Breyfogle from the button were heads-up to a completed board of 8♣6♠3♦3♥9♠ with just under 14,000 in the middle.
Labib-Kiyarash checked a final time Breyfogle who moved all in for his remaining 10,100 stack, and his opponent would put in the call after a minute's tank.
Todd Breyfogle: A♠A♥
Farid Labib-Kiyarash: 5♠5♣
Breyfogle got the maximum with his aces against the fives Labib-Kiyarash, who could not let go of his bluffcatcher as he sent doubling chips in the direction of Breyfogle.

Tyler Steill and Bret Cochrun had limped before Andrea "Shooter" Stracuzzi bumped it up to 1,200 from late position. Steill then limp-three-bet to 2,800, and both opponents called.
On the J♠9♣8♠ flop, Steill continued for 3,000 before Cochrun jammed for 18,300. Stracuzzi got out of the way after a small tank, but Steill tossed in the call as the covering stack.
Bret Cochrun: 7♥5♥
Tyler Steill: K♠K♥
Cochrun had a double gutter, while Steill was in good shape with the overpair.
However, the 6♥ peeled off on the turn, completing the straight for Cochrun. The A♦ river was a mere formality as Cochrun collected a fortunate double.
Level 3
: Blinds 100/300, 300 ante
Jayachandra Gangaiah opened to 600 under the gun and was called by someone two seats over. In the big blind, Travis Decker squeezed to 1,500. Gangaiah responded with a clickback to 3,500, and only Decker called.
On the J♦10♣6♣ flop, Decker check-called a bet of 5,500 from Gangaiah.
The 8♦ turn checked through to the 8♥ river which saw Decker lead for 12,000, and Gangaiah called after just a few seconds.
"You're good," Decker announced, prompting a moment of confusion before Gangaiah tabled A♣Q♦.
However, Decker would then roll over A♦Q♣, and both players had the same hand as the pot was chopped in humorous fashion.
"I put you on ace-king there," Decker joked, "You're supposed to fold that!"

Three players had limped before Bruce Vandervort made it 1,000 on the button. Loreto Carrizoza called in the big blind, and only one of the limped from middle position came along.
Three-ways to the Q♠6♠2♦ flop with just under 4,000 in the middle, Carrizoza led all in from the big blind for his remaining 17,300. The first limped got out of the way, but Vandervort would tank for over a minute before he opted to let it go.
Carrizoza flashed just the 6♦ before he returned his hand to the dealer, getting a few confused looks from his tablemates.
