Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Joshua Steiner was down to his last 1,000 chip during hand-for-hand play and managed to survive the bubble with that one chip. Once players were in the money Steiner went all in for 1,000. The player in late position then re-shoved for his last 5,000 chip, and was called by Erick Lindgren in the cutoff and the player on the button.

Once the dealer organized the pots Lindgren and the button were off to a flop of 4♥4♣K♥. Action went check check to the 3♠ turn, at which point the button bet 15,000 and Lindgren folded.

The dealer put a 2♦ on the river and Steiner won the main pot with K♦K♠3♦10♥ All in .

The player on the button tabled A♠A♦J♣5♣ which bested the other all in player's Q♥Q♣7♥6♣ All in .

The very next hand Steiner was all in again for his remaining stack and was called by Erick Lindgren and another player in middle position. When the board ran out 5♣Q♠5♥9♦J♣ Steiner tabled A♥Q♥8♦5♦ for a flopped full house. The other two players mucked their hands.

Level 14 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Under the gun limped in for 4,000 before the hijack raised to 16,000. Graeme Frank made the call on the button and under the gun called as well.

Three ways to a 3♣6♥2♦ flop and the hijack continued for 20,000. Only Frank made the call.

The turn J♣ peeled off and the hijack checked it over to Frank. He fired 85,000 and after a long tank, the hijack reluctantly folded.

Brett Slezak

Level 14 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

A player in early position potted to 14,000, and Chino Rheem defended his big blind.

On the 9♣8♥6♥ flop, Rheem checked and the early position player potted. Rheem raised and the early position player called all-in for 43,000.

Early Position: A♠A♥J♥7♥ All in
Chino Rheem: 8♣7♦6♠6♣

Rheem had out-flopped his opponent's aces with his set of sixes. However, the 10♦ peeled off on the turn giving the early position player the lead with a straight.

Unfortunately for him, the board paired on the 8♦ river, which gave Rheem a full house to eliminate his opponent.
