Level 6 : Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Jared Bleznick was standing up from his seat but raised to 4,700, adamant that he hadn't looked at his hand. He was asking for someone to reraise him, and Chance Kornuth obliged by making it 15,000 from the small blind. The action was back on Bleznick, who decided to finally look at his hand.

"Interesting", he said. He then threw in a green 25,000 chip and said raise, with the minimum raise being to 25,300. Kornuth made the call and the two were off to a flop.

The flop came A♠4♥9♣ and Kornuth checked. Bleznick fired 50,000, and Kornuth called.

The 6♦ fell on the turn, and Kornuth checked again. Bleznick bet a large amount and Kornuth folded before it was counted.

Bleznick showed three of his four cards, those three being the J♠10♣2♠, and he raked in the pot.

When it checked to Gergo Nagy on the 4♥10♠3♠ flop, he bet 2,500, only for Robert Emmerson to check-raise to 15,400 out of the small blind. From the big blind, Jim Collopy potted it to around 65,000, forcing Esther Taylor and Nagy to fold. Emmerson called for his few remaining chips and the cards were revealed.

Robert Emmerson: Q♥10♥8♠3♥ All in
Jim Collopy: A♥5♠3♣2♠

Emmerson had two pair and would need a clean runout to stay in the tournament. The rest of the board came 2♣Q♠ to give Collopy the winner with a flush, sending Emmerson to the rail.

Level 5 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Jared Bleznick put out a raise to 3,500 from under the gun before the dealer had even finished dealing the cards. He picked up two callers, Richard Gryko in the cutoff and Chance Kornuth in the small blind.

The flop came 7♣7♥J♣, and both Kornuth and Bleznick checked. Gryko took the lead with a bet of 4,000, which prompted Kornuth to check-raise to 15,000. Bleznick got out of the way, but Gryko stuck around.

The K♦ hit the turn, and Kornuth continued for 38,000. After some thought, Gryko made the call once again.

On the K♣ river, Kornuth slowed down and checked. Gryko then bet 45,000, nearly half his remaining stack. Kornuth burned through three timebank cards before eventually folding, sending a nice pot Gryko’s way.

Level 5 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

After a flurry of limps, Jeremy Ausmus raised the button to 9,000 and received five callers.

Six players saw the dealer spread out a flop of 3♥4♥6♠. Two checks happened before John Riordan jammed for roughly 75,000. After a few more folds, Ausmus shoved himself, which forced the rest of the table to fold.

John Riordan: 7♠5♣J♣J♠ All in
Jeremy Ausmus: 8♦7♥6♥6♦

Riordan had the current nuts against Ausmus' set, flush draw, and higher straight outs. Ausmus found instant service on the 5♦ turn, as he improved to a higher straight. The 4♦ came on the river to improve Aumus again to an unnecessary boat, sending Riordan to the rail.
