Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

The board read 8♥3♣8♦A♣ when Shannon Stangis checked in the big blind and Maria Konnikova bet 6,000 on the button. Stangis made the call.

The river was the 5♦ and after another check from Stangis, Konnikova bet 15,000, with just a few chips behind. Stangis announced all in and Konnikova snap-called with J♦9♥, but Stangis took down the pot with 9♠8♣ for trips. Konnikova announced she was going to reenter the event.

Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Nali Phommavong opened to 3,000 from cutoff and got a three-bet from Seina Asagiri to 6,000 in cutoff. Elfin Lin in the big blind called. Phommavong, however, decided to four-bet shove for 23,400 pushing Asagiri out of the way. Lin asked for a count then made the call taking them to showdown.

Nali Phommavong: A♥K♠ All in
Elfin Lin: J♠J♥

The flop dropped 3♠Q♠Q♦ which maintained Lin's lead. Phommavong could still turn things around if she hit one of her cards on the board but the runout 4♣9♦ didn't help her at all. Phommavong left the table as the pot was pushed towards Lin.

Elfin Lin	76,000 76,000	76,000
Seina Asagiri	48,300 48,300	48,300

Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Diana Yang limped on the button, and Laura Neuhauser raised from the small blind. Yang called to see the flop, which was 9♣7♦8♣. Both players checked.

On the turn 7♠, Neuhauser bet out 2,500, and Yang made a hesitant call.

The river K♣ brought out another bet from Neuhauser, and Yang made the call again.

Neuhauser flipped over 10♦6♥ for the straight, and Yang showed the K♥ and stated aghast, "You raised with that?"

Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Thanh Hoang started the action with a 2,000 bet which Alexis Gavin in the big blind called. The two players saw a 4♠7♣2♦ flop.

Gavin check-called Hoang's bet of 2,000 leading them to the turn. Gavin initiated action on the 3♣ turn and Hoang called.

On the river 3♠, Gavin checked once again. Hoang put in 6,500 which was enough to make Gavin let go of both her hand and the pot.

Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Jordan Handrich opened to 2,300 and got called by Nikki Vongvone and Marguerite Spagnuolo on the button before Shirin Oskooi squeezed in the big blind for 56,000. Handrich called all in with a smaller stack and after some thinking, Vongvone and Spagnuolo folded:

Jordan Handrich: A♠J♥ All in
Shirin Oskooi: K♣K♥

Oskooi didn't find any bad surprise throughout the board 4♥10♥8♠10♠7♠ and took down the pot while Handrich joined the exit.
