Level 3 : 200/300, 300 ante

Michael Rodrigues limped from the hijack and the player in the cutoff limped as well. Carol Fuchs then raised to 1,100 on the button and only Rodrigues called.

Rodigues check-called a 3,000 bet from Fuchs on the 4♦J♠7♥ flop and then both players checked on the 7♣ turn.

Rodrigues checked once more on the 3♥ river — prompting a 9,300 bet from Fuchs. Rodrigues called and Fuchs showed A♦J♣8♥2♦ for two pair with a low and Rodrigues tabled 10♥8♠7♠6♠ for trip sevens and they split the pot.

Level 2 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

The player in the hijack limped and the player on the button raised to 800. Perry Friedman called from the big blind and the initial limper called as well.

Action checked to the preflop raiser on the 4♦7♦J♠ flop and he continued for 1,000. Both players called.

The A♣ fell on the turn and it was again checked to the button, who bet 4,000 this time. Again both players called.

Friedman then led out for 18,000 when the 10♣ completed the board and it was folded to the button, who went all in for slightly more. Friedman called and tabled 9♣8♠3♦2♣ for the nut low and a straight. Friedman's opponent couldn't beat it and mucked — sending the large pot Friedman's way.

Action was three ways with 2♠8♦7♥ on the flop when Ari Engel checked from the small blind. A player in the big blind tossed out 300 and his opponent in the next seat over called before Engel came along.

All three players checked the J♥ turn to see K♦ on the river and Engel tossed out 1,500. The big blind called before the third player ducked out of the way and Engel turned over his cards.

He tabled 10♣9♥6♣3♥ gave Engel the jack-high straight for the high and 8-7-6-3-2 for the low to scoop the pot and the big blind tossed the losing hand in the muck.

Meanwhile, Stephen Moreschi and Yueqi "Rich" Zhu have taken their seats. There are currently 417 runners in the tournament at the halfway point of Level 1.
