Late registration remains open until the start of Level 10.
Ethan Erdeljac opened to 5,000 from under the gun before Justin Wong slid out a three-bet to 18,000 on his left. Justin Tsui was next to act and he fired a four-bet to 36,000.
Action folded back around to Erdeljac, who moved all in. Wong followed by shoving his larger stack, and Tsui quickly called covering both opponents.
Ethan Erdeljac: A♠K♥
Justin Wong: A♥K♠
Justin Tsui: Q♠Q♦
Tsui's pocket queens were in good shape until the 7♥10♣K♦ flop gave both opponents top pair. The A♦ turn only improved Erdeljac and Wong, while the 8♣ river left Tsui behind.
Erdeljac and Wong chopped the main pot, with Wong also taking the side pot and leaving Tsui much shorter.

Jessica Byrnes had her stack in the middle and was at risk against Amador Bermejo, with both players tabling their cards.
Jessica Byrnes: K♠10♠
Amador Bermejo: 7♣7♥
Byrnes found a pair in the window of the 3♣J♣K♥J♥A♥ runout, besting Bermejo's pocket pair to double up.
Ehsan Amiri moved all in from the small blind against Belinda Oosthuizen's short stack in the big blind, and the call was made.
Belinda Oosthuizen: 8♥7♥
Ehsan Amiri: A♥6♣
Amiri made two pair on the 6♥5♥5♦ flop and Oosthuizen stood up and prepared for her exit. She quickly sat back down when the 9♥ hit the turn, giving Oosthuizen a straight. The 4♦ river changed nothing, leaving Amiri short while doubling Oosthuizen's stack.
