Meyers Can't Hold in Three-Way All In
Level 6
: 200/400, 50 ante
Brandon Meyers had about 8,000 in front of him with just a few hundred behind on an 
flop. DJ Deery shoved all in from Meyers' left in the multi-way pot, and Matt Kirby made the call. A slew of folds later, Meyers tossed in the last of his stack and the hands were revealed.
"I'm sure I'm in third place," Meyers said, gathering his things.
Meyers:

Deery: 
Actually, Meyers had the best hand for the moment, but there were plenty of cards to fade. Kirby's combo draw came up empty on the 
turn and 
river, but Deery was able to find a winning pair of tens and scoop the pot, busting Meyers.

Givens Barrels One Out
Level 4
: 100/200, 25 ante
A player limped in from early position and saw a middle player raise to 550. Will Givens went up further to 1,600 on the button, and the limper attempted to throw out 550, not seeing the three-bet. The floor was called, and the player was told his options were to forfeit the 550 or call the wager. He elected to call, and the original raiser called as well.
Action checked to Givens, who bet 2,400 on the 
flop. The early player called, and the third player folded.
"Go ahead," the first player said after the 
turned. Givens went ahead and 15,000, and his opponent quickly folded.
