Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Gerald Hanes raised to 2,200 from early position. Joshua Norvock on the button three-bet to 7,000 and Hanes called.

Norvock continued for 6,000 on the 984 flop. Hanes check-called and checked the Q turn. Norvock then moved all-in and Hanes went deep into the tank before calling off his last 18,500.

Gerald Hanes: 1010 All in
Joshua Norvock: QQ

Hanes ran into a set of queens. A jack could save him but the 7 landed on the river and he was eliminated.

Frankland Collects Brady's Crumbs

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Matthew Frankland opened from the cutoff and Mike Brady committed his last 2,600 into the middle from the big blind. Frankland called and a showdown was held.

Mike Brady: 42All in
Matthew Frankland: 66

The 4AJ flop gave Brady a glimmer of hope after pairing his four, but the 6 turn left Brady drawing dead after improving Frankland to a set.

An irrelevant 4 completed the board, making Brady's elimination official.

Jattin Jams On Limeira

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

With 9,800 in the middle and a board reading 987 Jattin checked to Roberts who bet 4,000 to see Limeira call. Jattin raised to 12,700 to see only Limeira call.

On the turn 5, Limeira folded after Jattin moved all in for 18,500 effective.

Setera Doubles in the Blinds

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

The action was joined as Michael Setera was all in for 21,100 from the small blind, with big blind Gabriel Karlsson the player who had him at risk.

Michael Setera: AQ All in
Gabriel Karlsson: A6

The QJ6 flop saw both players improve to a pair, but crucially Setera kept hold of his lead across the 8 turn and 10 river, improving to a flush to secure a double-up.

Nelson Can't Find Another Bullet Against Chen

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

With around 15,000 in the pot on a flop of 643, Michael Nelson bet 5,500 from the big blind and Huabao Chen called in middle position.

The turn was the J and Nelson bet another 9,000. Chen again called to see the 6 river, and both players checked it down.

Chen turned over 54 for two pair, and Nelson mucked AK. "You think I could've gotten him off the river, there?" Nelson asked his tablemates after the hand.

Thomas Heinrich: AQ All in
Jason Wheeler: AK

Wheeler faced no issues on the 710356 runout, sending Heinrich to the rail.

The flop came A510 and it was checked to Harris, who continued for 6,000. Both Rivero and Negreanu folded in turn and Harris dragged the pot.

Snowmen Good For Bona

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Daniel Defreitas came in for a raise from early position, and only Thomas Bona called on the button.

Defreitas bet 1,600 after the dealer fanned the A44 flop, and Bona stuck in the call.

Both players checked the 9 turn before the 9 completed the board.

Defreitas tabled K7 and was playing the board, but it was no good against Bona's 88 for a pair of eights.
