Level 9 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Four ways with 20,000 each in the middle, the 9♦4♠3♥ flop was checked to Tyler Stafman on the button and he bet 75,000. Only Jonathan Depa called from under the gun.

The 2♥ turn went check-check and the J♦ river completed the board. Depa now bet 120,000 and Stafman reluctantly called to muck when he was shown A♥8♥7♠5♦ for a wheel.

Level 9 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

In the final hand of the previous level, Ben Lamb raised to 13,000 under the gun and was called by Najeem Ajez on the button. Amit Ben Yacov then three-bet to 57,000 from the small blind and both players called.

On the 2♦K♥9♥ flop, Ajez bet 40,000 chips and Lamb called before Ajez folded. The J♥ turn then fell, on which Ben Yacov jammed all in. Lamb snap called with the covering stack.

Amit Ben Yacov: KxKxQx9x All in
Ben Lamb: Q♥J♠10♥8♣

Lamb had turned Ben Yacov dead with a straight flush, and the inconsequential 8♠ completed the board as the latter left the tournament.
