Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

The early position player raised to 3,000 and the late position player, Minjung Han aka MJ called and the small blind three-bet all in for 16,000. The big blind called with a warning, "Don't even think about giving her protection, cause it is not going to fly". The early position player called and Han called.

The flop came out 3♥7♠7♦ and everyone checked it down.

The turn brought the 8♣ and when it was checked to Han she made her move and bet all of her chips into the side pot for 38,600. Everyone folded.

Small blind player: A♥4♦
Minjung Han: A♠8♠

The river was the 3♠ and Han came out on top with her two pair.

Level 10 : Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

The Tournament Director announced that this would be the last level for the evening. The ladies at the table had their own interpretation and decided that he actually said that it is beer time and they ordered a round of beer.

Meanwhile Jamie Kerstetter was on the button and moved all in for 25,800. One of the ladies stated, "You can't go out before you get your beer". But Kerstetter had other plans and received a call from the big blind.

Jamie Kerstetter: K♥J♦
Big Blind Player: 9♦9♥

The board came in favor of Kerstetter with Q♠5♣J♥3♦2♦ as she paired her jack and she was able to enjoy her beer.

The River Saves Sarver

Level 10 : Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Marei Sarver shoved for her remaining stack worth 30,000 and after some thinking, Roxanne Rhodes called on the button to create the following showdown:

Marie Sarver: A♣K♥
Roxanne Rhodes: A♥Q♥

Sarver had the dominating hand, but the board first fell J♦K♦10♦, giving a flopped straight to Rhodes. The 4♥ turn didn't change anything but a Q♣ showed up on the river to also bring the straight to Sarver to save her from the elimination and chop the pot.
