Hermilo Garza Villareal and Joey Weissman were heads-up on the turn, battling for a pot of 10,000 (20 big blinds).

On the Q♥8♠4♥K♦ board, Villareal checked from the small blind and Weissman fired out 8,000 and was called.

The 4♣ completed the board and Villareal checked once more. Weissman, who had 22,800, moved all in. Villareal went into the tank, counting out his stack. He had Weissman covered by 8,700 and he put in calling chips.

Weissman missed his flush draw and tabled 9♥5♥. Villareal also missed his flush draw but his K♥2♥ was good for kings and fours and he took in the pot and secured the knockout.

Heads-up on a flop of 7♠9♥6♦ with a sizable pot already brewing, the player in the big blind checked and Lara Eisenberg bet 4,500 from early position. Her opponent called.

The 4♥ came on the turn and it was again checked to Eisenberg. This time she sized up for a 16,500 bet and her opponent folded after a bit of thought.

Eisenberg, who won the Ladies Event back in 2021 has chipped up nicely since the start of the day and currently sits with approximately 76,000.

Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

On a flop of K♥2♦10♥ Yingui Li bet 2,000 and his opponent on the button called.

The 9♠ fell on the turn and Li checked. His opponent shoved for his remaining stack and Li called to put him at risk.

Button: 10♦9♦All in
Yingui Li: K♦Q♦

Li would need some help, and it came in the form of a 2x on the river — upgrading Li to a superior two pair and eliminating his opponent from the tournament.
