A player limped in from under the gun, and an early position player raised to 4,800. A player in middle position three-bet shoved for 29,900, and Oregon's William Higgins four-bet jammed in the hijack for 56,200. Action folded back to the early position player, who flicked a single chip in the pot to call.
Middle Position: 
William Higgins: 
Early Position: 
"I knew it!" the player with kings said.
A 
board left Higgins clapping and saying "Yes!" as he eliminated one opponent while doubling through the other.

Former Major League Baseball player Jose Canseco faced an 1200-chip open and a call from two early position players, and three-bet to 5000 on the button. The under the gun player called and went heads-up to the flop against Canseco.
The flop came 
, and the under the gun player checked. Canseco put in a continuation bet for 10,000 and got a call, bringing the 
on the turn.
The under the gun player checked again, and Canseco fired another 10,000 and got called. The river came the

John Utley, one of the current chip leaders of the tournament right now with a stack eclipsing 400,000, raised to 3,000 from early position, and the hijack three-bet to 10,000. San Diego's Ian Eckstein announced a four-bet to 22,000, and action folded back to the hijack, who five-bet shoved for just slightly more. Eckstein snapped him off.
Hijack: 
Ian Eckstein:
Eckstein's aces held on the 
flop, and while the next two cards were paint, the 
turn and river were safe, eliminating the hijack.
Level 7

A player raised to 4,100 from early position and was called by a middle position opponent before California's Gary Sewell three-bet shoved for 25,100 in the hijack. The early position player thought for a few moments before four-bet jamming, which quickly chased off the middle position player.
Gary Sewell:
Opponent: 
Sewell's Big Slick looked good on the 
flop, but his opponent picked up the nut-flush draw on the 
turn.
Sewell's opponent said, "Five!" in hopes of at least a chop, as the turn also gave both players a wheel draw, but the river was safe for Sewell's double-up.
"Wow, had to sweat that one!" Sewell said with a smile as he scooped in the pot.

Dan Heimiller sits with 30,000 chips, sandwiched between two of the bigger stacks in the Miranda Room. Raymond Taylor is on Heimiller's left with 227,300, and Richard Fifield is on his right with 180,000.
Fifield added to his stack, winning a pot from the cutoff against the big blind. Fifield opened for 3,100 and the big blind called, bringing the 
on the flop. Fifield continued for 4,300 after a big blind check and got the fold.

There was 11,000 in the pot and a board out when the blinds checked over to Tom Bouziden on the button, who tossed in a bet of 3,000. The small blind called, and the big blind folded.
The small blind checked the 
river, and Bouziden bet 8,000. The small blind thought for around a minute, and a player that had just been seated at the table called for a clock.
"Who called the clock?" the small blind asked. He was upset as the seconds ticked down, and with one second left, he mucked. Bouziden turned over 
for just a pair of fives, and the small blind was still livid over the clock being called on him.
"Keep it friendly! Let's play poker!" a player at the table told the small blind, and in short order, calm was restored to the table.
