Easy Knockouts for Costa and Cimbolas

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Felipe Costa is making a strong bid to become the overnight chipleader after knocking a player out. It was Eric Vallee who was all in for his last 17,500 with {K-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds} and Costa called with {A-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}. The {A-Clubs}{A-Spades}{10-Hearts} flop instantly ended it for Costa and Vallee let out a hearty chuckle.

Matas Cimbolas also added a scalp to his arsenal. The colorful Lithuanian called a 16,500 shove from the small blind in the big blind. Cimbolas was holding {K-Clubs}{Q-Hearts} and leagues ahead of his opponent's {Q-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}. The {A-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{A-Diamonds}{2-Spades} gave Cimbolas the win with his king kicker to move up to over 150k.
