Play was in Level 10 with blinds of 1,200/2,400 and an ante of 300 when "BokeemSpades" opened to 4,800 under the gun. "eatmealive" three-bet all in for around 46,000 from middle position. Action made its way back to "BokeemSpades" and they called.

"eatmealive": {k-Spades}{q-Hearts}
"BokeemSpades": {6-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}

The two found themselves off to the races and the flop {10-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{8-Spades} meant that the pot could still go either way. The turn {8-Diamonds} gave "eatmealive" a grand total of 20 outs to the river, and one came as {k-Hearts} rolled off to give them kings up and score them the double.

In Level 9 with blinds at 1,000/2,000 and an ante of 250, action went three ways to a flop of {3-Clubs}{q-Spades}{10-Diamonds} with 14,250 to show for it.

"All-in7" was in the small blind and checked to put action on "Jaggyboy13" in the big blind, who bet 7,100. "mos7884" was in the cutoff and called, as did "All-in7" to keep three-way action as the turn came {j-Hearts}.

"All-in7" checked again, and "Jaggyboy13" fired out another 17,800. "mos7884" raised all in for 70,200, and "All-in7" folded before "Jaggyboy13" called off their remaining chips, totaling slightly less.

"Jaggyboy13": {3-Diamonds}{3-Spades}
"mos7884": {q-Hearts}{10-Hearts}

The two players found themselves having gotten chips in the middle with what was a flopped bottom set versus a flopped top two pair. "mos7884" would need a queen or a ten on the river in order to win the pot, but it came {9-Spades} to leave "Jaggyboy13" with the best hand, earning the double with their set of threes.

After the hand, "mos7884" was left with just over 12,000 but has spun that up to 61,156 in a couple of hands. "All-in7" also won a pot, bringing their stack north of 235,000.

One of the other tournaments to wrap up on Thursday night as the $10 buy-in Event #9 Low: $1,000 GTD PLO8, a tournament that drew 195 runners and offered up a $1,755 prize pool.

"JackDoyle102" found themselves down to 22,375 in Level 6 with blinds of 500/1,000 and an ante of 125. "RiverMan" opened to 2,275 in early position and was called by "CreateReality" in the hijack before "JackDoyle102" went all in on the button. "RiverMan" called and "CreateReality" folded.

"JackDoyle102": {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}
"RiverMan": {10-Diamonds}{10-Spades}

"JackDOyle102" was way out in front and the flop {9-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{6-Clubs} kept them in great shape to double. The turn {q-Clubs} brought "RiverMan's" number of outs from two down to one, and the player was unable to make like their screen name as the river fell {6-Clubs} to result in "JackDoyle102" earning the double with the nut flush.
