Chopping with Ace-Jack

I caught the action on the flop. There was 95,000 in the pot. The flop was {A-Spades} {Q-Hearts} {3-Diamonds}. Chris Wolters bet 50,000. Eric Liu called. The turn was the {6-Clubs}. Wolters moved all in for 163,000. Liu called. Both players showed ace-jack. The river was the {5-Clubs} and both players chopped the pot.

Max Pescatori Eliminated in 15th Place (£19,576)

Arggggggggh!
Arggggggggh!
Michael Martin obviously did not know that today was "Be Nice to Italian Pirates Day." Max Pescatori raised preflop and Martin called. The flop was {A-?} {K-?} {J-?} . Max Pescatori bet 52,000. Martin called. The turn was a {9-?}. Pescatori bet 60,000. Martin moved all in and Pescatori called.

Pescatori: {K-Hearts} {K-Diamonds}
Martin: {A-Diamonds} {A-Clubs}

The river was a {5-?} . Pescatori busted out on a nasty, dirty, filthy set over set. Down to 14.

Marcin Horecki Doubles Though Eric Liu

On the first hand back from dinner break, Marcin Horecki moved all in for 103,000 and Eric Liu made the call.

Horecki {Q-Diamonds} {10-Clubs}
Liu {A-Spades} {9-Spades}

The flop was {9-Diamonds} {8-Diamonds} {2-Diamonds}, pairing Liu's nine, but giving Horecki outs with straight and flush draws. The turn was the {6-Clubs}, but the {Q-Clubs} fell on the river, making Horecki top pair and doubling him up to 224,000.

A clearly frustrated Liu is down to 384,000.
