Gareth Smith was all-in for a mere 9,000 and Danh Cong Tran called in the small blind.

Gareth Smith: {k-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}
Danh Cong Tran: {a-Clubs}{a-Spades}

Smith was with one foot out of the door already but the board came {9-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{q-Hearts} to secure his double.

Shortly after, Smith raised to 1,600 and called the shove of Leon Louis for 10,600.

Leon Louis: {k-Spades}{q-Diamonds}
Gareth Smith: {9-Spades}{9-Clubs}

On a board of {j-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{4-Spades} the pocket pair held up and Louis was gone.

Action on Table Three

Level 8 : 400/800, 800 ante

Francois Pirault raised and four-bet shoved for 45,100 to get an instant call of Lukas Gloor from one seat over, who had three-bet to 6,000.

Pirault tabled the {a-Clubs}{k-Spades} and failed to hit anything against the {k-Clubs}{k-Hearts} of Gloor on a board of {9-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{j-Spades}{10-Diamonds}.

Just a few moments later, the flop showed {q-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} and Irena Macesovic checked. Keith Hoang bet 2,600, Stefanita-Catalin Buzatu raised to 7,500 and Macesovic shoved for 17,000. Hoang reluctantly folded and Buzatu sigh-called.

Irena Macesovic: {q-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}
Stefanita-Catalin Buzatu: {q-Spades}{9-Spades}

The {a-Hearts} turn and {k-Hearts} river run out let the kicker play.

"I folded ace-king," Hoang mentioned in table chat.

Buzatu Doubles; Busts After

Level 8 : 400/800, 800 ante

Stefanita-Catalin Buzatu was all in for 2,300 and Lukas Gloor on the button min-raised to 3,800 in order to isolate.

Buzatu turned over the {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts} and held up versus {k-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} thanks to a board of {j-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{7-Spades}{9-Clubs}.

He was then all in again with the {k-Hearts}{j-Clubs} and Gloor put him at risk for the second time, revealing {4-Spades}{4-Clubs}.

On a board of {9-Spades}{6-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{8-Spades}{3-Spades}, the pocket pair held up to eliminate Buzatu.
