Hand #1  –  Randy Pfeifer raises from middle position to 115,000, Shawn Cunix reraises from middle position to 290,000, and Pfeifer four-bets it to 610,000. Cunix folds, and Pfeifer shows KK as he collects the pot.

Hand #2  –  Aaron Mermelstein raises under the gun to 110,000, winning the blinds and antes.

Hand #3  –  Barry Leventhal raises from the hijack to 140,000, and Esther Taylor-Brady calls from the small blind. The flop comes 1088, Taylor-Brady checks, Leventhal bets 150,000, and Taylor-Brady calls. The turn is the 6, and both players check.

The river is the Q, Taylor-Brady checks, Leventhal bets 150,000, and Taylor-Brady calls. Leventhal shows A10 for two pair, tens and eights, but Taylor-Brady turns over JJ to win the pot with a higher two pair, jacks and eights.

Barry Leventhal  –  2,600,000  (52 bb)
