Level 8 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

In the last hand before the break, Mexican pro Jerson Backmann Caballero found himself in an all-in pot with dead money in the middle.

Caballero opened from early position for 3,000, the cutoff called, and the button moved all-in for 19,000.

After Caballero called, the cutoff folded.

Button: {k-}{q-}
Jerson Backmann Caballero: {a-}{k-}

Caballero fell way behind when the flop came {q-Hearts}{6-Spades}{4-Spades} but surged back in front when the {a-Clubs} appeared on the turn.

The {5-Clubs} graced the river and Caballero surged to nearly double the starting stack.

The cutoff showed before folding that he had a pair of sixes, which would have flopped a set.

Level 8 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Action was caught on the river of a {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{k-Hearts}{5-Spades} board.

JJ Liu checked and Kevin Brewer bet 7,000. After some consideration, she called and mucked when Brewer showed {a-Spades}{3-Spades} for trip aces.

There are not that many big stacks in blue section of the Bally's Ballroom, but Brewer's stack is certainly one of them.

Level 8 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Haven Werner opened to 3,000 from middle position and Mike Dollins called from the small blind.

The flop came {5-Clubs}{j-Spades}{2-Clubs} and Werner continued for 4,000. Dollins called.

The {3-Clubs} put three clubs on the board and both players tapped the table.

The {10-Spades} completed the board and Dollins put out a bet of 11,000. Werner sniffed out a bluff and called with king-high.

However, the Canadian's {k-Hearts}{9-Hearts} was out-pipped by Dollins' {k-Clubs}{q-Spades} and Dollins still took down the 38,400-chip pot.

Level 8 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

After an initial raise of 2,500, Jonathan Therme three-bet in middle position to 7,500. The player called from under the gun.

On a {8-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{5-Clubs} flop, Therme made a continuation bet for 4,000. His opponent called.

His opponent led the {6-Spades} turn for 10,000 and Therme made a raise to 32,000. The opponent called.

The {10-Spades} river was checked by the player in early position, who instantly called off his entire stack when Therme announced all-in for 85,000.

Under the Gun: {j-Clubs}{j-Spades}
Jonathan Therme: {a-Hearts}{a-Spades}

Therme now has one of the biggest stacks in the room.

Level 8 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

From the cutoff, Angel Contreraz found himself all-in against Megan Moore (small blind), claiming he had been the recent victim of two bad beats in a row.

Angel Contreras: {9-Diamonds}{9-Spades}
Megan Moore: {k-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}

Contreraz pulled off the old 'stand up like you're leaving' trick to ride his nines to victory on the {3-Clubs}{2-Spades}{10-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} board, getting himself back to almost the 50,000-chip starting stack.

Meanwhile, at the same table, Vanessa Kade has amassed one of the biggest stacks in the tournament, already eclipsing a half-million in chips.

Level 8 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Even though both players were well over 50 big blinds deep, that did not stop Patrick White from getting it all in from the cutoff with fives against the hijack.

Patrick White: {5-Clubs}{5-Hearts}
Hijack: {a-Clubs}{k-Hearts}

The hijack player, who was already upset at White for getting it in with his hand, was set off even further as he failed to improve on the {j-Clubs}{2-Spades}{8-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} board.

White scored a huge double up and left his opponent with around 30,000 chips.
