Henry Gingerich opened to 6,000 on the button, and Justin Gardenhire put him all in from the big blind.
"F***, Gardy, you always do this s***," Gingerich said, shaking his head. "I don't think I can fold this hand. You just 10x me like that?"
The two exchanged some banter as Gingerich continued thinking.
"F****** sicko," he muttered. "I think I'm gonna fold."
He slid his cards to the dealer, and Gardenhire just smiled but didn't show.
Steve Pham and Drew Woodke were the two chip leaders, and they just clashed in a huge pot.
The board read 
on fourth street, and Pham checked to Woodke, who bet 7,000 on the button. Pham made it 19,000 to go, and Woodke called. On the 
river, Pham bet 31,500, and Woodke snap-called.
Pham showed 
and Woodke couldn't beat the trips.
"Tried to go hero on that one," Woodke mused. "All I had was a seven."
Cody Bartlett raised to 4,800 under the gun, and both blinds gave him action. They checked to him on the 
flop, and Bartlett bet 7,000. Big blind David Hengen put in 12,000 and was informed he would need to make it 14,000, which he did. Bartlett quickly called. Hengen bet 16,000 on the 
turn, and Bartlett called. He bet 17,000 more on the 
, and Bartlett snap-called.
"I have a jack," Hengen said, showing 
.
That was good, as Bartlett mucked his cards.

Kevin Berthelsen check-jammed for 24,000 or so in the big blind after Dylan Meier bet 5,400 from middle position on a 
flop. Meier called.
Meier:
Berthelsen: 
"Give him his jack," Berthelsen urged the dealer.
It wasn't to be, as the 
then 
fell.
JR Reiss, a veteran of the game with $650K in tourney cashes dating to 2000, just went bust. He moved all in for 22,400 on a 
flop, and Chunlei Yuan tank-called him.
Yuan:
Reiss: 
Reiss was drawing, and the turn increased his outs by bringing a flush draw. The 
river was a brick though.
Thirteen is the magic number, according to the tournament director. The tournament will play until 13 players remain or 13 levels have been played.
Just before the new level, we found Kipp Smith firing 11,000 out of the big blind on a 
flop. His opponent in middle position called, and Smith bet 16,000 more on the 
turn. He was called once more, so he finally checked the river. The middle player tossed 20,000 in, enough to put Smith all in for his last 17,400. Smith shook his head but called right away.
His opponent threw 
into the middle, and Smith showed 
for tens and sixes.
"You're crazy, man," he said with a smile.
Level: 10
Blinds: 800/1,600
