Scott Seiver raised under the gun, getting called by Yuval Bronshtein in early position and Bradford Albrinck in the small blind.

The trio checked through the 3♥7♦9♥ flop, prompting Albrinck to bet on the 10♣ turn. Seiver instantly tossed in a raise, folding out Bronshtein. Albrinck called to the A♠ river, where he check-folded to another bet from Seiver.

Level 9 : Limits 3,000/6,000, 0 ante

Elie Nakache raised from the cutoff and Justin Saliba three-bet from the button. After the blinds folded, Nakache called.

Nakache checked the K♦7♦8♣ flop and Saliba bet, Nakache raised all in for 3,500, and Saliba snap-called.

Elie Nakache: Q♠J♦10♠4♦ All in
Justin Saliba: K♥J♥3♦2♦

Saliba had top pair, but Nakache had a lot of outs with two cards to come. The rest of the board came A♣3♠, and Saliba's pair of kings was enough to send Nakache to the rail.

In the hijack, Brian Battistone got his last 20,000 in on the 3♣5♠7♥ flop against Noah Bronstein in early position.

Brian Battistone: A♣K♥8♥2♦ All in
Noah Bronstein: A♥K♣4♠2♠

The players had the same high and same low, but the 8♠ turn made Battistone a pair. The J♥ river changed nothing as the all-in player received three-quarters of the pot.
