Level 7 : Limits 2,500/5,000, 0 ante

Joe McKeehen raised in the hijack and was called by Corel Theuma in the cutoff and Eli Elezra in the small blind.

McKeehen continued with a bet on the 10♥4♣2♥ flop and both opponents called. He bet again on the 10♦ turn, and only Elezra called this time.

The river was the 3♦ and McKeehen bet once more. Elezra tanked for a moment, but he eventually gave up his hand and McKeehen took the pot.

Theuma Triples With Kings

Level 6 : Limits 2,000/4,000, 0 ante

With the board showing 5♦8♣3♦5♥, Corel Theuma got the last of his chip in from the button with Christopher Vitch and Charles Thomas both calling to have him at risk.

There was still a small side pot available for Vitch and Thomas as the 7♦ completed the board. Vitch bet from the hijack and Thomas called in the cutoff.

Vitch showed 9♠9♣ for an overpair to win the side pot, but it wasn't enough to bust Theuma, who revealed K♣K♠ for a higher overpair.

Chad Eveslage was already all in from under the gun as Michael Falk and Kyle Ray went to the turn on a board of 6♣4♣6♦7♠ and around 20,000 in the pot. Ray then bet in the hijack, and Falk called in the big blind.

Ray bet again on the 7♦ river, and Falk called. Ray showed Q♠Q♥, and Falk mucked A♠J♣. Eveslage also tossed away K♦10♠ as he made his way to the rail.
