Level 16 : Blinds 1,400/2,800, 280 ante
Paul Volpe
Paul Volpe

"WlkRambo" raised to 5,600 from the cutoff before Paul "paulgees" Volpe moved all in for 46,160 from the small blind.

Back on "WlkRambo," he thought for a bit and made the call to put Volpe at risk.

Paul "paulgees" Volpe: {k-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}
WlkRambo: {a-Spades}{q-Hearts}

Volpe found a pair on the {7-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{k-Hearts} flop. The {8-Diamonds} turn gave "WlkRambo even fewer outs to catch back up. The {5-Diamonds} river finished the job and Volpe doubled with a flush.

Martinelli's Slowplay Works Perfectly

Level 15 : Blinds 1,200/2,400, 240 ante
Luke Martinelli
Luke Martinelli

Pierce "Victoria53" Mckellar raised from under the gun and picked up two callers, Luke "lewismurray" Martinelli in the hijack and Michael "usdnd8" Bosco in the big blind.

The three saw a flop of {2-Clubs}{6-Spades}{5-Clubs}. Action checked to Martinelli, who took the betting lead with a bet of 5,500. Bosco folded the big blind, but Mckellar went for the check-raise to 16,500.

Martinelli thought for a bit, but decided to move all in for 41,700 effective, having Mckellar covered by a bit.

Pierce "Victoria53" Mckellar: {q-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}
Luke "lewismurray" Martinelli: {k-Spades}{k-Hearts}

In need of a queen or running clubs, Mckellar saw the {k-Diamonds} hit the turn to lose that slim hope and {8-Diamonds} river to make it his elimination official.

Level 14 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 200 ante
Hunichen Raises Schulman
Hunichen Raises Schulman

Chris "2fly2die" Hunichen raised from early position and only found one caller, Nick "CashUsKlay" Schulman in the big blind.

The flop showed up {3-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{9-Hearts} monotone, and Hunichen continued with a bet of 3,000, which Schulman check-called.

Both players checked the {k-Spades} turn to head to the river.

That final card was the {4-Clubs}. Schulman led for 2,000, which made Hunichen think for a bit. Ultimately, he raised to 13,500 and Schulman let his hand go.

Huynh fired out a bet of 50,000 and Speranza called. Huynh showed {4-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} for the flopped set and Speranza mucked.
