Level 7 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Erich Tedeschi limped from early position Jacob Stone raised to 2,600 from middle postion. Samuel Ju called from middle position and Tedeschi called as well.

The flop came 2♥J♣7♥ and action was checked to Stone, who bet 2,200. Tedeschi folded, but Stone then check-raised to 7,500. Ju called.

The 4♦ fell on the turn and Stone continued for a 9,000 bet. Ju raised all in for just under 30,000 and Stone called all in for less.

Samuel Stone: A♣J♥
Samuel Ju: 7♦7♣

Ju had Stone drawing dead with his set of sevens and a meaningless 4♦ completed the board — eliminating Stone from contention late in the evening.

Samuel Ju	85,000 85,000	85,000

Level 5 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante

Adrian Dan opened to 1,100 from early position and was three-bet to 2,000 by Adrian State in middle postion. Action folded back around to Dan, who shoved, which was enough to put State all in for his last 25,000. State called and hands were revealed.

Adrian State: J♣J♠
Adrian Dan: 9♦9♣

State was in good shape to double up, but the 4♠10♠2♦9♥K♦ runout provided Dan with a winning set of nines on the turn and State was sent to the rail.
