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

Taylor Black has built a stack but just gave a chunk away to the player on his right after the two got the chips in preflop.

Hijack: J♥J♦ All in
Taylor Black: 7♣7♥

No seven around for Black on the 9♦8♥3♦K♥10♣ runout which meant he had to cough up over 30,000 chips and slide them over to his neighbor.

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

The button raised to 3,000, the small blind three-bet jammed for 18,800 and Kris Kneale cold called from the big blind. The original raiser folded.

Small Blind: Q♦9♦
Kris Kneale: J♦J♣

The small blind was behind but the 9♣6♦5♦ flop gave Kneale something to worry about. The 10♥ turn and 10♠ river changed nothing and Kneale sent his opponent to the rail.
