Level 19 : 1,500/3,000, 375 ante

"supertied" raised to 6,000 from early position, "Dendaa" three-bet jammed 25,328 into the middle on the button. "KwiacurVr6" pushed in 194,189 in the big blind and the original better folded.

"Dendaa": {k-Spades}{j-Diamonds}
"KwiacurVr6": {a-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}

A {q-Spades}{9-Spades}{4-Hearts} flop gave "KwiacurVr6" a commanding lead and a {5-Diamonds} turn did not change that as "Dendaa" was drawing to the river. An unlikely {k-Hearts} completed the board, hitting "Dendaa" with a pair of cowboys to take down the pot.

Level 18 : 1,250/2,500, 300 ante

"100Kprofit" raised to 5,000 from middle position, "barrybarry15" called in the cutoff and "Doked" raised to 10,000 on the button. "Ripleyy1" four-bet to 22,500 from the big blind and action folded around to "barrybarry15" who called. Doked" who called for their remaining 359.

A {q-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} landed as a flop and "Ripleyy1" led out for 20,000. "barrybarry15" folded. The remaining two tabled their hands.

"Doked": {10-Spades}{10-Hearts}
"Ripleyy1": {4-Hearts}{4-Clubs}

"Doked" was ahead and the {a-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} runout changed not a thing, sending the main pot to "Doked".
