Almost every table in sight has at least one player all in, no matter the stack size or the size of the pot. This is the level where players will emerge with a sizeable chip stack or get sent to the rail, truly a sight to behold
Level: 13
Blinds: 2,000/4,000
Ante: 4,000
Picking up the action with 112,000 in the middle and a turn board of Q♥8♥5♥6♣, Spencer Heckwolf bet 60,000 from the small blind.
Orson Young on the button deliberated over his decision and announced all in to put Heckwolf at risk for 198,000, which he snap-called.
Spencer Heckwolf: 7♥6♥
Orson Young: A♥10♠
Heckwolf flopped the flush, but Young had the nut flush draw, however he had outs taken away as Heckwolf had an open-ended straight flush draw. The J♣ completed the board and Heckwolf secured a huge double-up while leaving Young with less than 17 big blinds.

Dalvinder Bains was in a pickle on a board showing 2♣10♣10♠.
His opponent checked and Bains bet, but he then faced a check-raise of 25,000 on a paired board from an opponent who had him covered. Bains went in the tank for a few moments and then responded by going all in. His opponent asked for a count, which was 116,000, before calling to put Bains at risk.
Dalvinder Bains: Q♠Q♦
Opponent: 6♥6♦
Bains was ahead and the hand didn’t change when the dealer placed A♠ on the turn and 7♣ on the river to give him a double up.

After a player opened to 7,000, Peggy "Tig" Winsler moved all in for 43,000 and the action was then on Lachezar Petkov who thought about it for a few moments before shoving over the top for 140,000 total.
The rest of the players quickly got out of the way and the cards were tabled, with Winsler at risk.
Peggy "Tig" Winsler: K♥J♥
Lachezar Petkov: 9♦9♠
Petkov was ahead with his pocket nines going into this matchup, but the flop of J♦A♦3♠ gave Winsler the lead with her pair of jacks.
The turn 5♦ brought in a flush draw for Petkov and unfortunately for Winsler, the 3♦ came down on the river to give him the flush, eliminating Winsler.
"Ugh, I just knew it was coming, I just knew it," she said, shaking her head as she made her way to the exit.

The cutoff bet 12,000 and was met with a raise to 53,000 from Andrei Konopelko in the big blind. The cutoff responded with another raise to 112,000. Konopelko made the call.
The flop came Q♣J♦2♣ and Konopelko moved all in and was snap-called by the cutoff for around 60,000.
Cutoff: A♦K♠
Andrei Konopelko: Q♦6♦
An almighty preflop slugger-fest allowed Konopelko to land the killer blow as they drilled top pair. The 9♠3♣ completed the board and the cutoff headed to the exit with a stunned silence from the rest of the table.
