With a pot of around 25,000 already in the middle, Jon Friedberg was tanking on the river before firing out a 8,500 bet with the board reading 



. His opponent grimaced a bit before counting out the bet, having only around 18,000 back if he were to make the call.
Finally, with a certain amount of resignation, he threw the chips into the middle and Friedberg turned over 
- but his opponent flipped 
for a chop.
Friedberg's foe said, "I'd have been happy if you'd shown me aces but unhappy if you'd flipped ace-king..."
Jamie Kerstetter opened with a raise to 2,000 from middle position and got one caller from the cutoff. The flop came 

, and Kerstetter continued with a bet of 3,700. Her opponent quickly called. Both then checked the
turn.
The river brought a fifth black card, the
. Kerstetter took a quick look across the table out from under the brim of her baseball cap, then set out a bet of 11,200. Her opponent thought a moment, then let his hand go.
Kerstetter sits with about 130,000 as we near the end of Level 8.
We're not sure of the betting as we stumbled upon the table a tad too late; however, we did see that Tim West got his stack of 24,500 all in preflop against an unknown opponent.
Showdown
West: 

Opponent: 

West was in a dominating spot and looking to dodge a king to keep his Main Event hopes alive. The 

flop did nothing to diminish his hopes, and neither did the
turn. West sat quietly as the
fell harmlessly on the river and he doubled to a little over 50K.

We recently saw Alexandre Gomes get crippled all the way down to only 7,000 when he was up against a pocket pair of tens that made a straight. Gomes hung onto his shortstack for a while before we finally just saw him make his exit although we didn’t catch what happened.

We caught up with the action heads up on an 

flop where Chad Batista bet 4,000 from middle position and the cutoff called. On the
turn, Batista checked to the cutoff who bet 8,100 and now Batista made the call. On the
river however, Batista went back to being the aggressor and moved all in. The cutoff folded as Batista took down the pot.

We caught up with the action heads up between two players who have been pretty familiar with each other so far today. On the 

flop, Ryan D’Angelo who was in the small blind checked to Jean-Robert Bellande who was under the gun and bet. D’Angelo then came in with a check-raise to 14,200 which Bellande called. On the
turn, D’Angelo fired 21,300 and Bellande went into the tank before he folded. D’Angelo showed 
for just seven high with an inside-straight draw and clearly got away with the bluff to take down the pot.
