Level 15
: 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Shortly after doubling with aces, Mike Allen shoved in the small blind and a short-stacked player called in the big blind.
Big Blind: 
Mike Allen: 
Allen had his opponent pipped, although the 
flop made a chop likely. However, the 
hit the turn, and the 
confirmed the result as Allen chipped up and his opponent hit the rail.
Level 15
: 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
A player in middle position shoved for 65,000 and Andrew Ostapchenko re-jammed his larger stack from late position. The remaining players got out of the way and the middle position player was officially at risk.
Middle Position Player: 
Andrew Ostapchenko:
Ostapchenko had his opponent dominated and looked set to win a big pot. That all changed after the 
flop, causing Ostapchenko to raise his arms in frustration. He found immediate redemption, however, on the turn, with his opponent standing up even before the river card was dealt. The river completed the board and Ostapchenko managed to avoid the bad beat to build up a stack during the the final level of the night.
Level 15
: 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Mike Allen ended up getting his stack of approximately 230,000 in from the big blind and was at risk against Pavel Plesuv in the small blind.
Mike Allen: 
Pavel Plesuv: 
It was a huge cooler in the blinds, and the 
flop left Plesuv needing running cards. The 
turn brought chop possibilities, but the 
completed the board to confirm Allen's double.
Level 15
: 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
A player in middle position opened to 8,000 and faced a three-bet to 32,000 from Jonathan Lawson out of the small blind. The big blind got out of the way to send the action back to the original raiser, who moved all in. Lawson snapped it off with the larger stack to put his opponent at risk.
Middle Position Player: 
Jonathan Lawson: 
The race was on but quickly grew very lopsided after Lawson paired up on the 
flop. The 
turn and 
river changed nothing, giving Lawson the knockout and a big boost to his stack.
Level 15
: 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Doug Lee had gotten his stack of roughly 160,000 in from the small blind and was at risk against Adria Diaz Dalmau in the hijack.
Doug Lee:
Adria Diaz Dalmau: 
Diaz Dalmau looked to be on the wrong side of the classic cooler as the dealer fanned the 
flop. However, the cooler was instantly flipped around as the 
spiked the turn, and the 
completed the board.
Diaz Dalmau added the chips to his stack after turning a fortunate set, while Lee made his exit following the brutal beat.
