Level 10
: 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
There was an under the gun raise to 3,000 and a flat call from Barry Shulman who was also in early postion before the player in the cutoff three-bet 20,500 all in. Chris Conrad was sat in the small blind and he moved all in over the top, which got the other two players out of the way but his work was still cut out as he was looking for two outs when the cards went over.
Chris Conrad: 
Opponent: 
On the 
flop, Conrad's outs were cut in half and he now needed the case nine alone. The turn was a 
but he found it on the 
river, much to the amusement of his table.

James Romero kicked off the action with a 2,500 raise in middle position. He was three-bet to 6,200 from the player on his left, before a short stack moved all in for 12,000. Back on Romero and he raised a stack of 5k chips over the top and it got a quick fold from the three-better.
James Romero: 
Opponent: 
The 
board favored the preflop favorite and Romero adds a decent sum to his stack.
