Level 1
: Blinds 100/100, 100 ante
Jessica Teusl, winner of the 2022 Ladies Event, raised two pots in a row preflop and picked up the blinds both times.
On the third hand, Samantha Weiss raised to 300 and only got called by Teusl in the big blind. Both checked all the way throughout the board 2♣A♣4♥5♦3♥ and Teusl led out for 400. It was enough to get a fold from Weiss.

Level 1
: Blinds 100/100, 100 ante
Kim Ng limped under the gun and got a raise from Dawn Moscoe to 300 on the button. The blinds: Jennifer Klauschie in the small and Vidhi Seem in the big, joined in, as did Ng when action went back to her.
The flop came 2♠10♦8♦ and all the ladies checked. The turn 7♥ fell and after a check, Seem shot out 200.
Ng went beyond and made it 800. Moscoe folded and Klauschie followed suit leaving the two ladies to the river.
The dealer peeled Q♦ on the river and both players checked.
Seem showed A♦4♦ for a flush on the river making Ng muck her hand.
