![[user269680]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
Level 11
: 600/1,200, 200 ante
Steve Maniaci opened from early position and was met with a three-bet to 5,600 from his neighbor. Action folded back to Maniaci and he four-bet to 27,600. His opponent called and the flop came 
.
Maniaci slid out enough chips to put his opponent all in. After much consternation, his opponent folded and Maniaci was awarded the pot.

Zarlenga Sends One Home
Level 11
: 600/1,200, 200 ante
Jason Zarlenga has steadily been riding a decent stack most of the day and just three bet preflop to isolate from middle position. Zarlenga took down his heads-up opponent with a strong 
holding as the inferior 
failed to catch up.
Zarlenga just may be poised to make another deep run here at FireKeepers.

Another River, Another Bustout
Level 9
: 400/800, 100 ante
Adam Friedman was facing an opponent's all-in bet and needed an additional 13,000 approximate to make the call. After some talk and some thought, Friedman threw his chips in for the call and his 
needed help to catch up to the 
of his opponent.
The 
flop and 
turn brought nothing for Friedman, but the 
on the river put the beat on the pocket tens and sent his opponent packing.
