Level 14 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Action was picked up with Brett Shaffer all in for 231,000, a player in small blind was also all in for 90,000. A third player from middle position also made the call to put them both at risk.

Small Blind: Q♠Q♣ All in
Brett Shaffer: A♣K♦ All in
Middle Position: 10♥10♦

It was the small blind who had his eyes on a triple up with his pocket queens and was still ahead after the 3♠8♣3♥ flop. The 7♦ turn also kept the queens best, but the A♦ on the river eliminated him, and gave Shaffer the best hand with his pair of aces.

Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Action folded to Martin Kabrhel in middle position, who sat in the tank. After getting the clock called on him, he raised it to 13,000, leaving 6,000 chips behind. When it folded to the big blind Asher Conniff, he raised him all in. Kabrhel then did not snap-call with only one big blind left, and a player at the table again called the clock. After waiting until the last second, Kabrhel did find a call and was at risk.

Martin Kabrhel: K♣4♠ All in
Asher Conniff: 10♠9♦

Kabrhel was ahead with his king high, but when the board ran out, it gave Conniff the best hand with a pair of nines to eliminate Kabrhel.

Level 16 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Action was picked up on the turn with the board showing J♠3♠10♣J♦ when a player in the small blind went all in and was called by Ronnie Sewell on the button.

Small Blind: 3♥3♣ All in
Ronnie Sewell: Q♥J♣

The small blind was in a great spot for a double up with his full house, threes full of jacks against Sewell's trip jacks. But when the river was the J♥ it improved Sewell to quad jacks and eliminated the player in the small blind.
