Level 12

Ante: 500
Low Card: 1,000
Completion: 2,500
Limits: 2,500-5,000

Robert Stevanovski: K♠6♠/10♠A♠7♠6♣/J♣
Benny Glaser: 10♥10♦/8♠Q♦J♦10♣/2♠
Christian Rice: XxXx/2♣ - folded on third street
Brian Hastings: XxXx/8♦ - folded on third street

Brian Hastings called the bring in before Robert Stevanovski completed. Benny Glaser raised to two bets, committing most of his remaining stack. Christian Rice folded from the bring in and Hastings folded before Stevanovski three-bet. Glaser called off with his remaining stack and was at risk.

Glaser had a pair of tens to start while Stevanovski had three spades and a live king. Stevanovski made his flush on fifth street leaving Glaser drawing very thin, but Glaser improved to trips on sixth street giving him outs to a full house. The 2c Glaser caught on seventh street was a brick and he exited the tournament area while Stevanovski took down a decent pot.
