Anthony No

Anthony Yeh struggled throughout the last two levels and busted here in the beginning minutes of Level 9.

The action folded to a gentleman in middle position who opened for 2,000. Play folded to Yeh who three-bet shoved to 6,300 total and his opponent called. Yeh tabled {7-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}, but his opponent showed {8-Clubs}{8-Hearts} and he couldn't find a seven in the deck.

Annette_16

Annette "Annette_15" Obrestad opened to 1,400 from middle position, and an opponent three-bet to 3,700. She grabbed a stack of yellow T1,000 chips and shove them in the middle, essentially putting her opponent all-in. He quickly called tabling {A-Diamonds}{A-Clubs} and she turned over {K-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}.

Obrestad flopped a gut-shot and a backdoor flush draw when the dealer fanned {8-Diamonds}{A-Spades}{10-Hearts}, but couldn't find running hearts or a jack on the turn or river.

She's now down to her last 16,000 chips.

Great Turn of Events

Jason Gray opened to 1,350 from early position and the action folded to a player in the cutoff who three-bet to 4,100. The action went back to Gray who paused for a bit before four-betting all-in. His opponent quickly called and the hands were tabled:

Gray: {J-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}
Opponent: {A-Spades}{K-Hearts}

The flop fell {A-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{10-Spades} and Gray sadly shrugged, not knowing that the {J-Spades} would spike on the turn.

"Whoa!" Gray exclaimed.

The {10-Clubs} on the river gave Gray a full house for kicks and grins and he eliminated his opponent while also chipping up to 40,000.

Livin' Cautiously

Liv Boeree raised to 1,500 under the gun and action folded to the player on the button. He made it 5,500 to go and both blinds folded. Boeree called and the flop ran out {6-Clubs}{3-Spades}{9-Hearts}.

Boeree checked and her opponent shrugged his shoulders, shook his head, and after a little while bet 6,000. Boeree thought momentarily, before folding {J-}{J-} face up.

Her opponent tabled {A-Hearts}{Q-Hearts} and said, "I just had to see where you heart was."

Boeree still has about 25,000.

Nice Knockout, Bro

Action folded to a short-stacked player on the button who moved all-in for his remaining 6,575. Eugene Todd "Bro" threw his hands up and slipped his Beats By Dre off of his ears.

He thought for a moment or two, chomping on the unlit cigarette in his mouth, before re-shoving all-in. The big blind quickly released and the hands were tabled:

Todd Bro: {A-Hearts}{9-Clubs}
Shorty: {6-Spades}{6-Diamonds}

The board ran {Q-Spades}{A-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{K-Clubs}{A-Spades} and Todd Bro won the race, chipping up to 28,000.

"I can't say I was rooting for you," tablemate Bryan Micon needled. "But it's out of respect."
