Level 8 : 300/600, 75 ante

Reza Yazdi opened under the gun for a raise and got calls from both blinds. Mike Harris checked the flop, but Bryan Devonshire came out betting with 6,800. Yazdi called, only to see Harris ship it in for about 50,000. Devonshire mucked, as did Yazdi.

"I think you just got two overpairs to fold," Devonshire commented.

If they were indeed overpairs, they were good folds, as Harris showed for a set.

Level 9 : 400/800, 100 ante

Will Givens raised it up to 2,000 under the gun and got a call from Mark Hodge. The next player made it 6,000 to go, and all three saw the flop. Action checked to the preflop leader, who bet 12,000. Givens mucked, but Hodge grabbed his whole stack and pushed it forward, just over 20,000. The other player called.
