Level 8
: 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Tamas Lendvai opened from middle position for 2,800. He got calls from late position, the cutoff, the button, and David Lascar in the big blind.
The 
flop was checked through before Lascar fired for 5,100 on the 
turn. Lendvai and the button folded while late position and the cutoff called.
On the 
river, the late position player fired for 6,000. The cutoff folded before Lascar made the call. His opponent showed 
, good for second pair, while Lascar flipped over 
, good for top pair and the pot.
On the next hand, a raise from middle position to 3,000 got a call from the cutoff, and from Lascar, now in the small blind. On the 
flop, the aggressor continued for 6,000. The cutoff got out of the way before Lascar made the call.
The 
turn was checked by both players, but Lascar bet 15,000 on the 
river. After a moment or two, his opponent folded, and the pot was his.

Action was caught with three players on a 
flop. Nathan Gamble checked, a player bet 5,000 with almost 10,000 into the pot, before Kenny Robbins announced all in for 37,500. Action was back on Gamble and he also announced all in. The third player finally folded.
Kenny Robbins: 
Nathan Gamble: 
Two pair for everybody, but Robbins had two better pair. The dealer completed that board with a turn and 
river and Robbins was good for a full double up. Gamble still has a decent stack for this stage of the tournament.

by Moraeas, a hand she could not beat, giving the Brazilian Team Pokerstars Pro a full double.

Tiffany Michelle took a great start today, as she can be seen with 260,000 right now.
She explained that she recently received a lot of chips from a player. Michelle raised to 2,500 after a limp and this same player reraised to 13,000 when action was back on her.
Michelle called and both women saw a 
flop. The opponent bet and Michelle raised to put her at risk. She had around 50,000 and made the call. When cards were shown down, Michelle had a set with 
and was against 
, for ace high. The 
turn and the river secured another elimination for Michelle, who could not believe it.
"But...what did she just do ?" reacted Michelle.

After a limp from under the gun, Bala Patur raised to 3,000 from early position. Middle position moved all in for 20,700. Action folded back around to Patur, who, after a count from the dealer, made the call fairly quickly with his opponent covered.
Opponent:
Bala Patur: 
Patur was already ahead, and improved to a pair on the 
flop. The turn and 
river changed little, and Patur's pair of queens was still best. He scooped the pot while his opponent headed to the rail.
