Level 8
: 250/500, 25 ante
Ari Engel just donated a small double up to the player next door in a preflop all in. Engel's 
was good enough to commit the 7,650 chips required to put his opponent all in. The at-risk player had the dominating 
, though, and the 
board kept him around for now.
Engel has been knocked back to about 33,000 with that little loss.
Level 8
: 250/500, 25 ante
Jonathan "ChasingIdiot" Wein appears to be the latest victim of this Day 1 as he's absent his chair and unfindable anywhere.
After seeing a raise and a call in front of him, Mike "Little Man" Sica three-bet to 3,250 from the big blind. The raiser folded, but the caller came along to see a 
flop.
Sica fired 4,450 and after about two minutes, his opponent called. The 
hit the turn and Sica bet 6,750. His opponent tanked again, eventually putting in the rest of his stack. Sica called and tabled 
, leading his opponent's 
. The river was the 
, securing the bustout for Sica.
"Sica Bustin' Ass," said Will Failla.
"Why can't people fold a hand?" asked Sica, as his opponent was walking away.

Level 7
: 200/400, 50 ante
A player in early position opened to 1,125, and Rob Perelman three-bet to 3,075 from the button. The initial raiser four-bet to 8,625, committing about half his stack. Perelman promptly shoved, and the raiser took pause. Finally, and with a heavy sigh, he plunked his final chips into the pot.
Showdown
Perelman: 
Opponent:
The flop was a start for the at-risk player, now looking for another nine or a seven to stay alive. He found the on the river, but it was preceded by the turn, counterfeiting his two pair in advance.
Perelman is up to 51,000 as he stacks that knockout pot.
After an early position player limped in, Matt Glantz raised to 1,125 from one seat over. Action folded to Lynne Mitchnick in the big blind and she called. The limper, though, popped it to 4,425.
Glantz called, as did Mitchnick, to see the flop come down 
. A check from Mitchnick led to a bet of 10,000 from the limper. Glantz called all in for his remaining 8,675, MItchnick re-shoved with the biggest stack of the bunch, and the limper folded.
Showdown
Mitchnick:
Glantz: 
The turn and river came and , leaving Glantz's ace-high flush second best and bringing his tournament to an end. The limper was none too pleased after the hand, claiming he folded pocket jacks with the

Level 7
: 200/400, 50 ante
Under the gun, Shawn Busse limped in, and the player in the cutoff seat followed suit. Both blinds came along as well, and it was a cheap four-way flop.
The dealer spread out , and action checked around to the cutoff. He flicked out a bet of 1,000, and this time only Busse came along with the call. That led them heads-up to the turn, and Busse check-called another 2,000 to see the fill out the board on fifth street. When Busse checked one last time, his opponent took his cue to bet 7,000 more chips. The call represented half of Busse's remaining stack, and he spent about two minutes considering before splashing the checks into the pot.
"Straight flush," came the call from his opponent as his 
hit the felt. The table reacted with awe -- all except Shawn Busse who quietly mucked and broke down his remaining 7,050 chips with just a hint of a scowl on his face.
