Level 6
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Action folded to Joshua Morgan in the cutoff who raised to 1,300. Allan Kwong reraised him from the button to 3,500. Morgan completed, and they went heads-up to a flop.
A♣10♣4♥ was the flop these players saw. Morgan checked, Kwong bet 2,700, and Morgan made his move going all in for a total of 20,500. Kwong hesitated for a brief second, then made the call putting himself at risk.
Joshua Morgan: Q♣J♦
Allan Kwong: A♠Q♥ 
The brutal K♠ peeled off on the turn, and Kwong's only two outcomes became chop or lose.
The 8♥ river was no help for Kwong, and he was sent to the rail.

: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
The hand was already underway with three players involved. Joshua Calderon was all-in for 3,100 from the cutoff, and action was on Gregory Carlin, who made the call, putting Calderon’s tournament life at risk. Ryan Darby, in the hijack, also called, taking the trio to the flop.
Both Carlin and Darby checked the 7♣2♥J♥ flop and again on the 4♣ turn. On the 7♦ river, Carlin checked a final time, but Darby seized the moment and fired 15,000, forcing Carlin to fold.
Calderon tabled A♣J♠, good for top pair, and Darby instantly mucked. However, Michael Baily at the table, after a quick apology, reminded him to show his hand. Darby revealed A♦6♦.

With around 9,000 in the pot on a board reading 4♦A♠10♥A♣, David Russell and Christine Nino checked to Roxanne Johnson on the button, who fired out a bet of 3,000. Russell folded from the big blind, but Johnson called.
The 2♠ came on the river and both players checked. Nino showed K♦10♦ for a pair of tens, which was enough to take down the pot.

Spencer Mclaughlin limped under the gun, Patrick Chung followed with another call as next to act, and Christine Nino bumped the price of admission to 6,000 from Chung's immediate left. Both Mclaughlin and Chung called.
With a little over 19,000 in the middle, three players saw a flop of 10♥5♣4♠.
After two checks, Nino fired a bet of 10,000 out. Mclaughlin then slid his roughly 40,000 remaining chips in the middle putting himself at risk. Chung quickly folded and Nino quickly called.
Spencer Mclaughlin: 5♥5♦
Christine Nino: K♦K♥
Nightmare struck on the turn for Mclaughlin as the K♠ was slapped down.
Nino faded the one outer, and has put herself in a beautiful position during the early stages of this tournament, building a massive stack!

John Tumbas opened to 2,200 from the cutoff and got a call from Tracie Osborn in the big blind, bringing both players to the flop.
Both checked the 6♠A♠9♠ flop. When action checked to him again on the 7♦ turn, Tumbas applied pressure with a bet of 4,000, which Osborn called after a moment of thought.
On the 5♦ river, Osborn took the lead and slid 5,000 into the pot. Tumbas looked slightly disappointed before releasing his hand.

Robert Brajovic made it 2,300 from early position with only Stacy Kimbrel calling from the button.
The dealer put out a flop of A♥10♣7♠ and Brajovic continued with a bet of 2,500. Kimbrel stuck around with a call.
The 2♣ fell on the turn and Brajovic fired again, this time for 4,300. Kimbrel called once more.
When the Q♦ appeared on the river, Brajovic tossed out a bet 6,500, and after a few moments, Kimbrel jammed for around 43,000. Brajovic had around 36,000 remaining in his stack, and after thinking for over a minute, made the call.
Kimbrel turned over the nuts with K♥J♠ for a straight to win the pot, as Brajovic showed top two pair with A♠Q♥.
