Three players, including a player in the cutoff who was all in, had built a pot of 45,000 up and saw a {9-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{4-Hearts} flop together. Joe "Stapes" Stapleton bet out the other opponent in the hand, and Stapleton and the cutoff tabled their hands.

Opponent: {a-Spades}{10-Diamonds}
Joe Stapleton: {7-Hearts}{7-Clubs}

Stapleton's sevens survived on the {k-Clubs} turn and {k-Diamonds} river to earn the elimination and the bounty.

Patrick Tardif jammed for 26,500 from the cutoff, and Sarah Sherman called in the big blind.

Patrick Tardif: {a-Hearts}{6-Clubs}
Sarah Sherman: {k-Hearts}{q-Hearts}

Tardif improved to two pair on the {9-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{9-Spades} flop, but Sherman picked up a flush draw on the {3-Hearts} turn. The {9-Diamonds} left Tardif with a full house, and he doubled up.

Owen Hits a Queen to Crack Pal's Kings

Level 13 : 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante

A player had his last 29,000 in from the cutoff, Adam Owen had his last 73,000 in from the small blind, and Carlos Pal had them both at risk on the button.

Opponent: {8-Spades}{8-Diamonds}
Adam Owen: {q-Spades}{q-Hearts}
Carlos Pal: {k-Spades}{k-Hearts}

The {7-Spades}{9-Spades}{5-Spades} flop gave all three players a flush draw, but it added a straight and straight flush draw for the pocket eights. The {j-Clubs} turn gave the eights a double-gutter straight draw, but Owen found a queen on the {q-Clubs} river to earn the cutoff's bounty and double through Pal.

Level 13 : 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante

William Fayant won two bounties and eclipsed the 100k mark in chips after getting the best of a four-way preflop all in.

William Fayant: {a-Clubs}{k-Spades}
Opponent 1: {5-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}
Opponent 2: {10-Hearts}{10-Spades}
Opponent 3: {q-Spades}{q-Diamonds}

Board: {8-Clubs}{q-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{j-Clubs}

Two of the four players hit sets on the flop, but it was Fayant taking down the pot in the end, with the broadway straight coming in on the river.

Level 13 : 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante

Lucas Hill is sitting on a 140,000 chip stack, and around 20 green bounty chips after knocking out Josh Gindi. The elimination hand saw Hill open raise and Gindi three-bet all in from the small blind. Hill made the call.

Josh Gindi: {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}
Lucas Hill: {k-}{10-}

Board: {j-}{3-}{2-}{10-}{j-}

Gindi told PokerNews the details of the bustout soon after heading to the rail, and Hill continues to hold on to a big stack as Level 13 plays on.

Gindi Hangs On

Level 13 : 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante

Andrew Smith opened to 6,000 from the cutoff, and Josh Gindi called with his last 5,000 from the button.

The small blind called, and Andy Milonakis called from the big blind.

Milonakis led out for 10,000 on the {3-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{j-Spades} flop, and the two remaining live players folded.

Josh Gindi: {k-}{k-}
Andy Milonakis: {10-Clubs}{10-Spades}

Gindi's pocket kings had Milonakis dominated, and the turn and river were unconsequential. The hand more than quadrupled Gindi's stack.

Level 13 : 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante

Dan Coen jammed for 28,000 from under the gun, Jake Irvin called off his last 17,000 in middle position, and Melissa Bryne called in the big blind to put both players at risk.

Jake Irvin: {a-Clubs}{7-Clubs}
Dan Coen: {q-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}
Melissa Bryne: {5-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}

Coen's queens held on the {9-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{6-Clubs} flop and the {7-Spades} turn, but he couldn't hang on when the {a-Hearts} river gave Irvin aces-up. Irvin tripled up, while Coen won the small side pot. Bryne was left with 30,000 and busted a short time later.
