Level 18 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

After making the money for a record-setting 29th time this summer with less than two big blinds, Kyle Miholich was all-in from the ante and big blind in the dark.

After some preflop raising, there was a four way all in.

Kyle Miholich: 9♣3♥ All in
Early Position: A♥Q♥ All in
Middle Position: Q♣J♣ All in
Dan Heimiller: K♣4♠

Heimilller had the table covered as many players were left with crumbs following the bubble.

"There's no way I lose this," proclaimed Miholich as the cards hit their backs.

The board ran out 10♣8♦3♠6♣7♠ and Miholich made a straight to survive as he celebrates his 29th cash.

Level 17 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

A player in the cutoff opened to 16,000 and Bryce Yockey defended the big blind.

On the 5♠4♣J♣ flop, Yockey check-called a bet of 15,000.

An A♥ fell on the turn and after the Yockey checked, the cutoff bet 44,000. Yockey called.

Yockey checked for a third time on the board-pairing A♦ river, and the cutoff shoved. Yockey had 119,000 chips behind and made the call which put him at risk.

It was some time before the floor came over to allow the players to turn over their cards, but when they did, Yockey was the better off.

The cutoff showed Q♣4♦ for a pair of fours, but Yockey flipped 6♠5♥ for a pair of fives and doubled up on the bubble.

David "ODB" Baker: Q♠Q♥ All in

Level 17 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Daniel Sepiol moved all in from middle position for 57,000, as we approach the money bubble in Event #99. The player in the big blind had a very short stack and a decision on his hands. After some time he folded KxQx, Sepiol showed him an inferior holding in the K♥J♥, the big blind missed out on an opportunity to gain some much needed chips as Sepiol is no stranger to big money spots.

Level 14 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Eric Mizrachi was all in and at risk for roughly 30,000 from under the gun and was called by Jason Wheeler on the button.

Eric Mizrachi: A♦8♣ All in
Jason Wheeler: Q♠J♥

The board ran out J♠K♣7♦9♥10♠ adding a boost to Wheelers stack. Wheeler has 22 cashes this summer, and still has a chance to tie the record for most cashes in one summer if he can cash in Event #99 and the two remaining online events (#29 and #30).

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Ren Lin got involved in back-to-back pots and was down to just a single yellow chip, which is worth 1,000, before he spiked the river to septuple his stack.

First, Lin's J♣10♠ couldn't improve against his opponent's A♦10♥ on the K♥K♠7♣A♣5♦ runout.

Then, Lin got his stack of 1,000 into the pot against two opponents.

Ren Lin: 6♦2♦ All in
Cutoff: A♥J♦ All in
Early Position: 7♣7♥

It looked to be a short-lived tournament for Lin but the runout of 3♦Q♥4♠J♠5♠ saw him spike a straight on the river to survive.
