HillKerby

Level 4 : 200/400, 400 ante

There was over 4,000 in the middle with three-way action between Nathan Heller in the small blind, Nghia Le in the big blind, and Swami Prasanna in early position. Action was in the process of checking through a flop of to bring a turn of onto the board.

Heller checked again and Le bet 2,700. Prasanna threw out two T5,000 chips to raise it up, prompting a fold from Heller before Le quickly three-bet all in for Prasanna's last few remaining chips. Prasanna called and hands were tabled.

Swami Prasanna:
Nghia Le:

Le's flopped two pair was out in front of Prasanna's top pair, top kicker and he was poised for the double. However, the river counterfeited Le's queens and sixes and left Prasanna's ace kicker to play with both players' queens and sevens to score him the double, leaving Le with just 6,500 remaining in the process.

Ebanks Back Over Starting Stack

HillKerby

Level 6 : 300/600, 600 ante

A player raised it up to 1,800 in early position and received a call from the hijack. Joe Ebanks was on the button and thought for about 35 seconds before announcing he was all in.

The original raiser asked for a count and Ebanks' stack was totaled to be 21,300. He thought for around a half-minute before letting his hand go. The hijack quickly followed suit and Ebanks took down the pot with his preflop shove, bringing him back over a starting stack after being seen as low as 8,000 earlier in the tournament.
