Level 15
: 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Craig Trost was stacking up another large pot, and shared the details of how he dispatched Hannah Guthrie with us.
Guthrie raised from under the gun, and Trost called in the small blind, as did the big blind. Action checked to Guthrie on a 
flop, and she bet 10,000. Trost check-raised to 27,000, the big blind folded and Guthrie called.
Trost bet 48,000 on the 
turn, and Guthrie went into the tank for a few minutes, before jamming for around 90,000. Trost called.
Hannah Guthrie: 
Craig Trost: 
Trost's flopped straight had Guthrie dead to the river, and he picked up the pot to send his stack soaring above 300,000.

Dembiec Gets Lucky to Triple
Level 15
: 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Steven Dembiec raised to 10,500 from middle position, and Jorden Helstern three-bet shoved for 96,500 from middle position. The cutoff called off his last 77,000, and Dembeic thought briefly before committing his last 22,000.
Steven Dembiec: 
Opponent: 
Jorden Helstern: 
Dembiec and Helstern both flopped Broadway draws on a 
flop, but it would be Dembiec finding a straight after the 
turn and 
river gave him a queen-high straight and the win for the main pot. The cutoff made a small profit on the side pot, and Helstern was left with 14,000, which he lost soon after.

Ryan Scully: 
Opponent: 
Scully needed a jack to survive, and he let out a loud, "Yeahhhhh!" when the river saved his tournament life with a winning set of jacks.
