Prince Jams at the Wrong Time

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

A raise to 15,000 was in front of Jonathan Prince and Lam Van Trinh three-bet the button, then snap-called the four-bet shove by Prince for a very specific reason.

Lam Van Trinh: {A-Spades}{A-Diamonds}
Jonathan Prince: {A-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}

Prince had some chop outs on the {8-Spades}{5-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{4-Spades}{J-Hearts} board but ultimately ran blank to lose a big portion of his stack, as Trinh doubled for 176,000.

Lewis Doubles Through Merfeldas

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Down to 53,000, Romain Lewis moved all in and he jokingly tossed two time bank cards to Arvydas Merfeldas in the big blind, as he was waiting for a pay jump. However, that wasn't needed anymore as the field has been reduced to 63 already when Merfeldas made the call.

Romain Lewis: {A-Spades}{4-Hearts}
Arvydas Merfeldas: {A-Clubs}{8-Hearts}

The board came {9-Hearts}{5-Spades}{4-Spades}{K-Hearts}{Q-Hearts} and Lewis spiked a double.

Yi Doubles; Allera Bubbles

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Florence Allera
Florence Allera

Mark Yi had shoved for 110,000 first to act and Orpen Kisacikoglu reshoved from late position to isolate. Once all other tables had finished their action, they proceeded with the showdown.

Mark Yi: {A-Diamonds}{A-Spades}
Orpen Kisacikoglu: {Q-Clubs}{Q-Spades}

The board came {10-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{3-Clubs} and Yi doubled.

One other showdown was ongoing and the board over on table four had already been completed and showed {A-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{4-Spades}{Q-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}. With more than 250,000 in the middle, Fuad Serhan bet 51,000 and Florence Allera shoved for around 110,000. Allera was already on her way out and the cards had been exposed, the Frenchwoman knew she would end up empty-handed with {4-Hearts}{4-Clubs} for a set.

Serhan had {Q-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds} for the superior set and let the bubble burst.
