After Justin Zaki raised from the hijack, a short-stacked Tim Duckworth moved all in from the small blind for 43,000. The big blind got out of the way, Zaki made the call, and it was off to the races.
Showdown
Duckworth:
Zaki:
Duckworth was ahead, but not after the flop. Zaki paired his ace and was in a great spot to eliminate his Australian opponent. The turn left Duckworth in need of a five on the river, and wouldn't you know it, "Lucky Ducky" caught the to keep his tournament life alive.

Marc Etienne Blais, known as "Guacamole Poker" in Quebec (a fact confirmed by 2010 World Series of Poker Main Event champ Jonathan Duhamel as seen below), opened for 5,100 from early position only to have Nicholas Verkaik three-bet to 13,300. Blais made the call and then checked the flop.
Verkaik took the opportunity to bet 8,500, and then called when Blais woke up with a check-raise to 29,200. When the peeled off on the turn, Blais simply moved all in and put Verkaik to the test. The latter spent a solid eight minutes in the tank before conceding the hand.
