Soja Cold Three-Bet Shoves
Level 5
: 150/300, 25 ante
With the board reading 
on fourth street, Mark Sandness bet 4,300 out of the big blind. A player in early position shoved for 10,325, and Soja moved in over that after getting a count. Sandness quickly folded.
Soja: 
Opponent: 
The player who shoved had picked the wrong time to get aggressive with top pair, as Soja had been lurking with the nuts behind him. The river bricked off, and Soja collected his opponent's stack.
"Nice lead out," Thao Thiem chided Sandness.
"Gotta draw 'em out of the weeds somehow," Sandness said with a laugh.

Carolan Triples Up; Breyfogle Caught
Level 6
: 200/400, 50 ante
Small blind Mike Schneider bet 1,750 on a board of 
, and a player in middle position called before Scott Carolan jammed for 7,200 in the hijack. Schneider called, as did the middle-position player. The all-in player prematurely flipped his cards over, and the 
was exposed before he tried covering them back up.
On the 
river, Schneider and his active opponent checked.
"I can't beat aces and fours," Schneider said, mucking his hand. The middle-position player was in the same boat, but since it was an all-in pot, the two hands were exposed before being mucked: 
for Schneider and 
for a weaker two pair for the middle-position player.
At another table, Todd Breyfogle fired 4,400 on the end on a board of 
. Babe O'Gorman in the small blind called, while a third player folded.
"Nine," Breyfogle said, knowing he was beat.
O'Gorman showed 
for a whiffed flush draw turned backdoor straight.

We found Kevin Pender all in for about 40,000 after a flop of

Button:

Pender's jacks were good for the moment, and running tens left his two pair best.
