Mcminniman Takes Out Dawley

Level 8 : 250/500, 75 ante

There was a cutoff open to 1,100 and Kevin Mcminniman three-bet from the button. Current Ladies Champion, Jessica Dawley, was sat in the big blind and she moved all in for 10,000. Only Mcminniman called and they turned their cards on their backs.

Kevin Mcminniman: {a-Hearts}{k-Spades}
Jessica Dawley: {k-Clubs}{q-Clubs}

Dawley was the one who needed to hit as they went to the flop. The dealer laid out {4-Clubs}{8-Spades}{6-Diamonds} and Mcminniman still needed to dodge a queen. He faded the {7-Hearts} turn but it brought straight outs to chop. The {k-Diamonds} river was safe and Dawley headed to the door as Mcminniman scooped up some more to add to his already hefty stack.

Unlikely Runout Saves Lavi

Level 7 : 200/400, 50 ante

It started with a cutoff open to 1,100 and a call on the button. The small blind came along too, before Viktor Lavi three-bet all in for 4,575. The initial raiser folded, but it was a call from the button, and the small blind took a couple of minutes to think before passing.

Viktor Lavi: {a-Spades}{3-Spades}
Opponent: {10-Spades}{10-Clubs}

Lavi was in bad shape as they went heads-up to the flop. It fell {4-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} and only a runner-runner straight would be able to save Lavi's tournament life against his opponent's set of tens. The {5-Diamonds} turn was one card he needed, but there were still only four outs left in the deck to help him. The river did bring a {6-Hearts}, though, giving him the straight and netting him the chips.

Gerhart Climbing After Dinner Break

Level 7 : 200/400, 50 ante
Kevin Gerhart
Kevin Gerhart

An opponent in the hijack moved all in for 5,250 and Kevin Gerhart made the call from the small blind. Players then turned over their hands.

Kevin Gerhart: {a-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}
Opponent: {9-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}

The flop came down in favor of his opponent as the dealer fanned out {7-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{10-Spades}. Gerhart would need to connect on one of the next two streets.

The turn did just that as the {q-Clubs} was flipped over, giving him a pair of queens, and when the {q-Spades} hit on the river, it went from bad to worse for the hijack opponent as Gerhart's trips took down the pot, eliminating his opponent.
