Level 9

Joshua Chudnovsky: Q5 / 8738 / 6
Ryutaro Suzuki: A7 / AJ22 / K
Kane Kalas: AA / 42Q10 / J

Ryutaro Suzuki and Kane Kalas were already all-in by the time fifth street was showing with Joshua Chudnovsky holding an eight low. Suzuki made two pair on sixth to pull ahead of Kane Kalas, who couldn't improve anymore on seventh street. Chudnovsky remained with the low and Suzuki won the high, leaving Kalas on four antes.

Mark Rubbathan: 558 / 593A

Chudnovsky then completed with an ace and called a three-bet by Mark Rubbathan. Chudnovsky bet all the way to sixth street for Rubbathan to call, then check-called seventh. Rubbathan showed a set of fives to win the pot.

Joshua Chudnovsky: XxXx / 42Q10 / Xx
Ryutaro Suzuki: Q76 / 37410

The frustration of Chudnovsky grew further when he completed and called a three-bet by Suzuki soon after. Suzuki bet from fourth to sixth street picking up calls, then checked behind on seventh street to scoop the pot with a pair of sevens only.

Kalas had been down to as little as 3,000 but won two hands to get back into contention.
