The board ran out {q-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{6-Clubs}{3-Spades} and Green's pocket jacks held up to earn him the double up.

The action folded around to Kathy Liebert on the button and she raised. The small blind re-raised to 4,000 and Liebert made it 8,000. Her opponent called and they went heads-up to the {q-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{2-Clubs} flop.

The player checked and Liebert moved all in for her last 6,500. Her opponent folded and Liebert showed {q-Diamonds}{q-Hearts} for top set. "I think he made a good fold" Liebert joked as she dragged in the pot.

Lucky Lady for Frenkal

Level 8 : 250/500, 75 ante

Eli Frenkal raised to 2,100 from middle position and the player in the small blind moved all-in for about 12,000. Frenkal called turning over {q-Clubs}{q-Hearts} but he was dominated by the {k-Spades}{k-Hearts} of his opponent.

The dealer fanned the {q-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{3-Hearts} flop and Frenkal spiked his queen in the window to take control of the hand. The turn {4-Spades} and river {10-Diamonds} were no help to the small blind and Frenkal earned the pot and the knockout.
