Level 17 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Grant Wang in middle position and Michael Lee in the big blind were at a 2♠A♣3♣ flop when Wang raised the stakes to 9,000.

Lee called taking them to a 7♠ turn.

Both players checked to the 7♦ river and Lee bet 16,000 which got a snap-call from Wang.

Lee showed pocket tens which were up against Wang's pocket jacks. Wang narrowly scooped the pot, building him up to sit on just over double starting stack.

Lee doubles up through Salim Admon just a couple of hands later.

Level 17 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Dimitar Danchev raised to 11,000 and was called by Jeremy Ausmus before Philippe Souki three-bet to 45,000. Danchev then shoved all in for 258,000, which got Ausmus to fold, but Souki snap-called.

Dimitar Danchev: A♥10♥ All in
Philippe Souki: K♥K♣

Souki had just doubled up and was now a commanding favorite to eliminate a player with his pocket kings. However, the dealer had other ideas for Souki as the runout of 3♠A♣8♥8♦A♦ improved Danchev to a full house.

"I'm so unlucky," joked Souki.

Jason Campbell got all of his chips in the middle preflop with the best starting hand in hold'em against Philippe Souki, but things didn't pan out the way he imagined.

Philippe Souki: Q♥Q♠ All in
Jason Campbell: A♦A♣

Everything was going smoothly for Campbell until a queen on the river saw Souki snatch the pot away from him at the last possible moment on the 5♣7♥9♠3♣Q♦ runout.

Amir Lehavot raised to 8,000 from the button and the big blind, Joshua Heinzl, called. On a flop of 2♣4♥7♥ Heinzl checked and Lehavot made a bet of 15,000. Heinzl looked him up.

Two broadway cards showed up on the turn J♠ and the river Q♦ which both players pondered over for a while but then both of them checked.

Heinzl turned over A♥4♦ and Lehavot turned over 8♦8♥ for the winning hand and a small victory.

Level 16 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Eric Winkie raised under the gun to 8,000 getting a call from Jordan Westmorland in an early position. Matthew Davis reraised to around 16,000 and Winkie folded. Westmorland responded to the reraise with a jam all in for around 176,000, which got a call from Davis after a short tank.

Matthew Davis: A♣Q♣ All in
Jordan Westmorland:A♥K♥

With the A♠K♣2♥ flop, Davis was looking for a lifeline to save him from elimination.

The J♣ turn and the 5♦ river weren't enough to keep him in and he was sent to the rail with around 150 players remaining.
