Level 16
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Kevin Martin raised 16,000 under the gun and he was called by a player a couple of spots to his left, as well as the big blind.
The dealer spread a flop of 9♥7♠3♥, and the big blind check-called a bet of 22,000, while the third player got out of the way.
The 3♦ landed on the turn and the big blind check-called another bet, this time Martin fired 37,000.
When the 6♣ completed the board, the big blind checked for a final time. Martin paused for about 20 seconds with a stone face and jammed his remaining stack of 139,000.
"This is so sick," said the big blind, "I am so under-repped here."
After about a minute, the big blind dropped a stack across the line to make the call.
Martin quickly showed Q♣Q♠, which defeated his opponents 10♣10♠ for a big double nearing the bubble.

As relayed by James Tomblin and his table mates:
The player on the button raised to 18,000, then the player in the small blind went all in for just over 200,000. James Tomblin went all in from the big blind, and the button called off.
Button: K♠K♦
Small Blind: 5♥5♦
James Tomblin: A♥A♦
The flop rolled out Qx4x3x, the turn paired the board with another 4x, and the river paired it again with Qx.
Tomblin's tablemates were flabbergasted, as he had registered late and it wasn't much before this that he had only 70,000 in chips.

The button opened to 20,000 and Victoria Beloff called in the small blind, followed by the big blind.
The dealer spread a flop of K♠8♦7♥ and all three players checked to see the 8♥ turn.
Beloff check-called a bet of 26,000, while the big blind check-folded.
When the 9♥ landed on the river, both players checked. The button announced he had a seven as he tabled A♣7♦ and Beloff dragged the pot with a rivered full house, showing 9♦9♣.

Level 15
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Jeff Meyers shoved his last 48,000 under the gun and the player next to act made the call.
"Ah, that could be bad news if you're calling in that spot!" said Meyers as both hands were being tabled.
Jeff Meyers: A♠Q♥
Opponnet: A♦J♦
It was not trouble though as he had his opponent dominated. The flop of K♠10♦6♣ gave both players a gutshot straight draw, now needing each other's card. The K♥ turn and 9♦ river changed nothing though and Meyers scooped the double up.
