A player in middle position limped in and Angela Jordison called from the button before Lawrence Brandt came along from the small blind. The big blind tapped the table to check her option and action was four ways.
The flop was J♥10♦4♥ and Brandt led with a bet of 2,000. The big blind called and middle position came along before Jordison tossed her hand in the muck.
The turn was J♦ and Brandt continued for 10,000. The big blind shuffled her chips for a moment before folding and the player in middle position went into the muck quickly to give the returning champion the pot.

Action was four ways after a flop of 8♠2♥7♣ when a player in the big blind checked before Carol Fuchs checked from the next seat over. The player in the next seat over went all in for his small stack and Allan Le called from late position before the big blind folded. Fuchs tossed in the chips to call the shove and action was three ways with Fuchs and Le in a battle for a side pot.
The turn was 3♠ and Fuchs bet the pot for 35,600. Her pot bet left about 1,800 behind, but it was too much for Le and he got out of the way. Fuchs turned over A♦6♠4♦2♦ and her all-in opponent had A♠6♣2♠2♣.
The river was a 7♥ and Fuchs chopped the pot with the low hand.
Le gave up a few chips but he still remains as one of the pacesetters at the top of the leaderboard. Meanwhile, Farha and Dulaney are still keeping pace with one another while Rob Campbell trends upwards at the same table.

Level: 8
Blinds: 500/1,000
Ante: 1,000
Paul Clotar limped from under the gun and the player directly behind him limped as well. David Williams then raised to 4,000 from the small blind and Christopher Gallagher called from the big blind. Clotar and the early-position player called as well.
Williams bet pot for 16,800 on the A♣9♦10♥ flop. Gallagher then went all in for more, Clotar went all in for less, and the early-position player went all in for their short stack as well. Williams called all in and hands were revealed.
Paul Clotar: Q♦J♣J♦9♣
David Williams: A♦Q♣3♥2♠
Christoper Gallagher: A♠A♥K♠8♦
Early Position Player: K♦Q♥10♦9♥
Gallagher was a favorite with his set of aces, but the 6♣ turn and K♣ river gave Clotar a flush — sending the main pot Clotar's way and the side pot to Gallagher and sending both Williams and the other player to reenter should they decide.

Three ways on a Q♦7♦6♣ flop, Kao Saechao bet 1,000 from the small blind. Ziya Rahim called from the big blind and the player under the gun raised to 15,500. Saechao re-raised to 36,000 and Rahim tanked for some time before taking out a coin and making his decision on a flip.
Rahim flipped heads, which he indicated would mean going all in, which he did. The early-position player called all in as well and hands were revealed.
Under the gun: A♦A♥9♠3♠
Ziya Rahim: 10♠9♣7♥7♣
Kao Saechao: A♣10♥7♠2♠
The 5♦ turn and 6♦ river left Rahim with a full house for high and Saechao took the low.
