Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Jonathan Pastore opened to 2,000 from under the gun and was called by Illia Korobkin from middle position. The big blind also defended.

Pastore continued for 2,000 on the J♠J♦2♠ flop and only Korobkin called.

The turn brought in the 9♦ and Pastore sized up to 10,000. Korobkin decided to stick around for another street after spending some time in the tank.

The Q♦ completed the board. Pastore jammed as the bigger stack and Korobkin called off the 23,200 he had behind.

Pastore was caught speeding with his A♦10♥ while Korobkin had the winner with his Q♣J♣.

Level 7 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Joey Weissman was in the small blind and had already called an opponent who had shoved preflop from under the gun for a bit less than 30,000.

Opponent: Q♠Q♣ All in
Joey Weissman: J♦J♠

The 8♥A♦9♣ flop came safe for Weissman's opponent, but the 10♣7♥ runout provided Weissman with a runner-runner straight for the elimination in dramatic fashion.
