Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

In a blind versus blind battle, a player in the small blind got his last 25,000 in the middle as Jonathan Wolter put him at risk.

All-In Player: 8♥8♠ All in
Jonathan Wolter: A♦J♠

The small blind was racing for his tournament life but instantly fell behind on the A♥A♠6♠ flop as Wolter made trips. The rest of the board ran out 7♦A♣ and Wolter spiked quads on the river to secure the pot and send his opponent to the rail.

The dealer fanned a flop of K♣K♠10♦ and once checked to, Toole continued for 5,000. His opponent quickly mucked his hand as the dealer pushed the pot toward him.

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

John Karavas raised and Colby Covington three-bet to 8,000 on the button. Peter Sanneblad got his last 12,400 in the middle from the big blind. Karavas squeezed to 30,000 only for Covington to push all-in for 141,800.

That instantly sent Karavas into a frenzy and he spun out of his chair.

"Do you have aces again, buddy?" he asked but eventually called with the covering stack.

Peter Sanneblad: J♥9♥ All in
Colby Covington: K♥K♠ All in
John Karavas: K♦K♣

The suited one gapper found no help on the A♦Q♣10♥6♣9♠ board and the short stack of Sanneblad was chopped up.

Cottrell van Wingerden

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Brett Coltman opened to 2,500 from middle position and received calls from Vanessa Selbst in the small blind as well as Thomas Drivas in the big blind.

Selbst and Drivas checked following the 8♠3♦2♣ flop, prompting Coltman to continue for 3,000. Only Selbst called to send the two players to the turn.

Action checked through the 8♥ turn to the 9♠ river at which point Selbst checked once more. Coltman moved all in for his last 11,000 and, after some thought, Selbst made the call. Coltman tabled K♠K♦ for the overpair, sufficient to take down the pot, earning him a full double while putting a dent in Selbst's stack.

Vanessa Selbst	80,000 35,000	35,000

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

A player in the cutoff raised to 2,500 before Max Kingstone moved all in for 22,000 on the button. Luigi Curcio called in the big blind, while the cutoff got out of the way.

Max Kingstone: A♥K♦ All in
Luigi Curcio: Q♠Q♥

Kingstone pulled into the lead on the K♥J♦8♦ flop with a pair of kings. The 10♠ turn gave Curcio outs to a straight, but Kingstone held on through the 3♠ river to earn a double up.

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Nathan Forrest had open-raised preflop and Oleksii Ievchenko and Gabriella Spallone called in the blinds. The K♠9♠5♦ flop then checked through before Forrest bet 3,600 on the 5♠ turn after two more checks.

Ievchenko raised to 9,000 and Spallone called. Forrest had seen enough and laid his hand down as the A♥ river to complete the board.

Ievchenko slowed down and checked, prompting Spallone to bet 21,000 chips. Ievchenko quickly called and was shown J♠7♠ by his opponent.

Ievchenko played the higher flush with his A♠8♠, however, and raked in the sizable pot.

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

A player in early position opened 2,500 and the hijack called before Nicholas Peterson called in the cutoff. Dylan Lemery was on the button and put in a three-bet to 12,000. The early position player put in another raise, making it 25,000, forcing the hijack and Peterson to snap-fold, while Lemery made the call.

When the J♥8♠7♥ flop hit the felt, the early position player continued for 22,000, and Lemery matched the bet.

The dealer rolled the 3♦ on the turn, and the early position player slowed down with a check. Lemery fired 22,500, and that was enough to earn the pot.

Dylan Lemery	340,000 89,600	89,600
