Level 8 : 300/700, 700 ante
Gabriel Podovei
Gabriel Podovei

Chipped down to a mere 4,200, Kian Khaleghian was all-in with the {a-Hearts}{9-Clubs}. Melika Razavi made the call with the {7-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} and her undercards failed to knock out Khaleghian on the {a-Clubs}{8-Spades}{7-Clubs}{k-Hearts}{2-Spades} board.

At the same time, Gabriel Podovei flipped with pocket jacks against the ace-king of Tomasz Brzezinski and the overcards got there to send Podovei to the cashier.

Devito Eliminated by Pyke

Level 8 : 300/700, 700 ante

Tony G crowned the phrase "on your bike" but there may be a new version known as "on your Pyke" as the Brit just scored a knockout.

"He didn't even have the ace?!" Danny Pyke was somewhat confused but happy as his {3-Clubs}{2-Clubs} had turned trips on the {a-Spades}{6-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{k-Hearts} board. Angelo Devito had been his opponent and he somehow got it in after the river with the {k-Clubs}{j-Spades} for kings and treys only.
