In a pot of 15,700 to the 10♣10♦4♥9♣ turn, Jaron Kavnat bet 6,000. Christopher Dean then raised to 17,500 only for the larger stacked Kavnat to move all-in with the covering stack. Dean went deep into the tank and used two time banks before folding.
Kavnat scooped the pot without showdown and reached six figures in the third level of the day.

A hefty pot of more than 38,000 was created on a board of K♥Q♣6♠8♥J♣ when Jedd Kossew bet the river for another 12,000. Diane Walker reluctantly called and Kossew declared ace-king, then showed his A♣K♣ for top pair and top kicker. Walker exposed her A♥Q♠ before sending them to the muck.

Heads-up to the 8♠7♦5♦ flop, Christoper Dean checked and the button bet 2,500 for Dean to call. They checked the 9♠ turn and Dean then bombed the Q♦ river for 11,500.
"Why so much?" his opponent asked and then later mentioned "remember, in the first hand we played I said to trust my instinct. I want to call," he declared but eventually opted to fold the A♦7♣ face-up. Dean didn't show any of his cards and instead collected the pot.
