Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Kevin Gerhart raised to 3,000 in the hijack and Alex Lynskey defended from the big blind. The flop came Q♠J♠4♣ and Lynskey check-called a bet of 3,000 from Gerhart.

The K♦ landed on the turn and Lynskey checked again. Gerhart tossed in a bet of 8,500 and Lynskey hesitated before making the call. The 8♠ hit the river and both players knuckled the table. Lynskey whipped over Q♦2♠ for a pair of queens and Gerhart sent his cards into the muck.

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Gilad Rubinsky limped from early position, and Tabatha Hilliard raised to 3,000 from middle position. Action folded to Andreas Berggren, who called as did Rubinsky.

The flop came A♥5♥8♥, and Berggren checked to Rubinsky, who bet out for 23,000, Hilliard called, and Berggren folded.

The turn brought the 7♣, and Rubinsky continued the aggression by betting out for 47,000. Hilliard called. The river saw the K♣ peel off, and Rubinsky bet out for 82,000, and Hilliard snap-called.

"Flush" announced Rubinsky and tabled 10♥9♥. "Nice hand" came the reply from Hilliard as she flashed her A♠K♠ before dumping into the muck as Rubinsky started stacking up the monster pot that sent him over 600,000 in chips.
