Level 17 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante
Alan Findlay
Alan Findlay

Action folded around to the player on the button, and he raised to 15,000. Alan Findlay was in the small blind and moved all in for his remaining 85,000. The button thought about it and eventually decided to call.

Findlay tabled {q-Spades}{q-Hearts}, while his opponent showed {a-Clubs}{9-Spades}.

Findlay was on his feet and watched as the board ran out {10-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{8-Spades}{k-Hearts}, giving him the double and leaving his opponent with just one big blind.

Varun Palackan and Brian Bordinaro had the exact same stacks and got them both in the middle before the flop.

In a classic race, Palackan held {10-Spades}{10-Clubs} and Bordinaro tabled {a-}{k-}.

Bordinaro pulled ahead when the flop came {k-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}, but the turn was the {10-Hearts} and he was drawing dead to the {3-Hearts} on the river.

Daniel Wagner has built up a tower in front of him and acquired many of those chips from Sandra Boyle.

Boyle lost a chunk of her stack with pocket kings after losing to Wagner's bottom pair and flush draw. The very next hand, Boyle got her remaining stack in the middle with ace-queen but ran into Wagner's pocket aces.

Boyle finished on the bubble in 64th place.

All remaining 63 players are now in the money.

Carol Leonardi
Carol Leonardi

Andrew Fitting was all in for the last of his short stack and he got a call from two players - one of them being Carol Leonardi.

The flop came {7-Spades}{5-Spades}{5-Hearts}, which was checked to the turn.

The turn was the {2-Hearts}. Leonardi led out for 5,000 and got a call from her opponent.

As the river came down, Fitting stood up from his chair. Leonardi led out for 10,000 and her opponent eventually folded. She turned over {5-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} for quad fives, and Fitting hit the rail.
