Khalil Abujawdeh was all in against Nick Binger after a 
flop. Abujawdeh held 
for a pair of nines and multiple straight draws and Binger opened 
for a myriad of better straight draws and pair draws.
The turn and and river were big fat bricks for Binger; 
, 
.
Abujawdeh's nines miraculously held and he doubled through to 77,500 chips. Binger is left with 26,000.
With a call before him, Jason Morgan raised it up to 12,000 from the button, only for Nick Binger to move all in for 24,400. The action folded round to Morgan who made the call.
"You got aces?" asked Binger. "Almost," came the reply.
Binger: 
Morgan: 
Board: 
Binger climbs to over the 50,000 mark, whilst Morgan absorbs a slight hit and drops to 163,000.
Alexi Yuzikov double through John "Tex" Barch over on Table 374.
Yuzikov's 
held when Barch's 
couldn't draw out on the 
board.
Tex slipped to 102,000 chips and Yuzikov doubled to 80,000.
Former WPT finalist Matt "All in at 420" Stout has been eliminated from today's event. He takes home $4,647 for a stout performance..
Jordan "Ims0Lucky" Morgan opened to 9,000 from the cutoff and Khalil Abujawdeh raised to 30,000 from the big blind. Morgan called.
The flop fell 
and Abujawdeh shoved all in. Morgan called.
Showdown
Abujawdeh: 
Morgan: 
Morgan was in bad shape with a worse flush draw and a gut-shot straight draw and couldn't improve on the turn or the river. Abujawdeh doubled to 114,000 chips and Morgan is down to 99,000.
Brian Smith has increased his stack two-fold courtesy of James Akenhead who drops to 132,000 as a result. It was Brian Smith who blew the starting whistle, raising to 6,000 from the hijack. Akenhead three-bet to 16,000 from the cut-off, Smith moved all in for 27,500 and Akenhead called.
Akenhead: 
Smith: 
Board: 
As if the ghost of Barry Greenstein was lurking on the rail, it's an "Ace on the River" and Smith doubles through to 75,000.
Just a couple of hands after doubling up Brian Smith, James Akenhead showed the same courtesy to Steven Burkholder by calling his all in for 19,800 on the river of a 
board. Burkholder slid 
across the baize, which was enough to win the pot. He now has 89,000, whilst Akenhead slips another rung to 72,000. Akenhead sliding downhill quicker than a champion bob-sleigh team!
