Level 5
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Limits: 600-2,100
After being the chip-leader for much of the day, Corel Theuma found himself on a slim stack.
Maxx Hoffman potted to 2,100 under the gun before Theuma repotted from the cutoff to 7,200. Ryan Rapaski then repotted from the button and Hoffman got out of the way before Theuma called all-in for 13,100.
Corel Theuma: A♣Q♦J♥5♥ 
Ryan Rapaski: A♠K♠4♥2♠
The 6♥4♦3♦ flop gave Rapaski the nut low and a pair of fours. Theuma found no help on the 8♠7♠ runout as fours held for the high and Rapaski sent Theuma to the rail.

Level 5

Koji Fujimoto got all of his chips into the middle preflop, and OIais Ahmed made the call to try to bust him.
Koji Fujimoto: A♥K♠9♣2♣
Owais Ahmed: A♦A♠Q♥4♥
The board ran out 2♠6♦4♠7♦9♦ to give Fujimoto a backdoor two pair to win the high with a seven-six low. Ahem couldn't beat Fujimoto's high, but he did have the same low, meaning Fujimoto got three-quaters on the pot.

Level 5
: 300/600, 600 ante
Limits: 600-2,100
A raising war broke out preflop between Corel Theuma from the cutoff and Ryan Rapaski from the button that resulted in Rapaski being all-in and at risk for 44,100.
Ryan Rapaski: A♠A♦10♦6♣
Corel Theuma: A♥A♣K♣5♣
Both had aces with Theuma having the better low potential. The 8♥8♣5♦ flop paired Theuma before the 7♠ turn gave Rapaski the low. Then, the 9♦ landed on the river to give Rapaski the ten-high straight as he scooped off Theuma, who had been smooth sailing all day as one of the largest stacks in the room until this hand.

Action was picked up three-ways to a A♥7♠3♥ flop in a hand between Rick Aasen from the hijack, Brian Breck from the cutoff, and Benny Glaser from the button with around 10,000 in the middle.
Aasen led for 5,600, Breck raised pot from the cutoff, Glaser repotted, Aasen folded, and Breck called all-in for 60,400.
Brian Breck: J♦5♥4♥2♥
Benny Glaser: A♠5♦4♣2♠
Both players had the same nut low and wheel wrap. Breck was free-rolling his flush draw until the A♣ turn gave Glaser outs for three-quarters as well. However, the 9♥ completed the board as Breck made his flush to win three quarters from Glaser.

Robert Mizrachi raised to 1,800 under the gun with Stanislav Ivanov calling from the cutoff, Allan Le calling from the button, and Eddie Blumenthal defending his big blind.
