In Level 17 with blinds of 2,500/5,000 and an ante of 625, "WBMRC99" was all in for 4,200 in the big blind. "Jolanta" limped in the hijack and "Steelman14" went all in on the button to require any remaining players to commit the remainder of their chips if they wished to have any further part in the hand. Nobody obliged.

"WBMRC99":
"Steelman14":

Both players picked up a pice of the flop , with "Steelman14" needing to fade a flush draw to earn the bounty with their top pair of aces. They were able to do just that as the turn and river completed the runout and the small pot was shipped their way along with an accompanying bounty, their eighth of the day.

"Lisa07":
"slumpadubz":

"Lisa07" found themselves in a coin flip for their tournament life and the flop came to firmly plant them out in front. They needed to only fade running Broadway outs, and had "slumpadubz" drawing dead by the turn . The river completed the runout and they saw the pot of more than six figures shipped their way.

In Level 15 with blinds of 1,800/3,600 and an ante of 450, there was a three-way all in between "Doylest925" in the hijack, "EataHoagie" in the cutoff, and "Steelman14" in the big blind, who barely covered both players.

"Doylest925":
"EataHoagie":
"Steelman14":

"Steelman14" spiked a king on the flop and held as the turn and river completed the runout to score the double knockout and earn two bounties as a result.

Afterward, "EataHoagie" re-entered and quickly found a double. On the following hand, the person they doubled from was short and shoved. "Eatahoagie" reraised to isolate the remaining players out and wound up with the best hand by the river, earning the double to make quick work of their new starting stack and chip up to 84,000 in no time.

However, it wasn't long after that before they got all in against "HitChaser" with ace-king and found no help on the runout against pocket fours. "HitChaser" earned another knockout, bringing their total up to 11 for the re-entry period as they find themselves with a commanding chip lead of over 460,000.
