Tyler Foran

Level 19 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Pedro Garagnani raised 160,000 in the cutoff and Justin Kindred three-bet all-in from the big blind. Garagnani went into the tank and asked for a count. The dealer broke down the stacks to show him it was 1,650,000, and after a couple of seconds more, he called off his stack of 1,400,000.

Pedro Garagnani: A♠J♣
Justin Kindred: 7♦7♣

It was a coin flip until the K♣J♦7♠ flop hit the felt, giving Kindred a set of sevens. The 4♠ turn sealed the fate of Garagnani and the K♥ river was just a formality.

Heimiller Dusts as He Loses Flip

Tyler Foran

Level 16 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Dan Heimiller was seen in the tank as he already had 245,000 across the line and was faced with an all-in jam from Stanley Tang for 860,000. Heimiller had 790,000 total and tanked for his entire allotted time bank before saying, "I think you have ace-king, I call."

Dan Heimiller: 10♥10♦
Stanely Tang: A♣K♠

Heimiller was correct but the A♥9♠7♠ flop paired Tang's ace as Heimiller let out a quiet "F*Ck."

The 7♦ turn and 5♦ river were no help as Heimiller exited the tournament.

Weissman Goes All In Twice In A Row

Maxime Taldir

Level 13 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Down to 50,000, Joey Weissman moved all in from early position. He was called only by Nacho Barbero on the button.

Joey Weissman: A♣7♥
Nacho Barbero: A♦2♦

Barbero hit a pair of deuces on the flop 9♥2♥4♣, but the turn card 9♦ and the river card 4♦ put two pair on the board. Both players had two pair with an ace, resulting in a split pot.

On the next hand, Weissman put all his chips in the middle for the second time from under the gun. His 75,000-chip stack was called by Barbero again and by Steven Miranda in the small blind.

On 4♦4♣6♦A♠5♦, Barbero and Miranda checked all the way through. At the showdown, Weissman showed Q♠8♠, but couldn't do much against Miranda's A♦J♥. Barbero looked at his cards one more time and mucked them to let the pot go to Miranda.

Player	Chips	Progress
Steven Miranda	1,370,000 810,000	810,000
Nacho Barbero	1,200,000 -105,000	-105,000
