On an ace-high board with two clubs on it, Jason wheeler got in the remainder of his chips with {k-Clubs}{j-Clubs} versus {a-}{k-}. He didn't improve as the board ran out and he was eliminated from the tournament.

Level 4 : 300/500, 500 ante
Rafael Reis
Rafael Reis

A player in the small blind raised to 1,500 after two calls in front of them and Rafael Reis called in the big blind. The two early position callers also called to see a flop.

The flop came down {9-Spades}{6-Spades}{4-Hearts} and after a slight confusion on the placement of the button, the small blind checked and the other three players checked behind.

The turn came a {9-Hearts} and action checked to Reis who bet 4,000 which got folds from the two early position players and then a fold from the small blind after she turned her hand face up as {k-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}. "I'm not raising you guys with nothing."

Reis laughed, took in the pot and climbed over the six-figure chip mark.
