Trevor Reardon had a raise to 5,200 in front of him from the button before small blind Sheng Zheng moved all in. Reardon tanked for a minute before calling for his last 53,000.
Trevor Reardon: J♦J♣
Sheng Zheng: K♣K♦
Reardon had run right into Zheng's pair of kings and found no miracles on the 9♥5♥7♦K♥2♥ board. Zheng finished with a set as he sent Reardon to the rail after their massive confrontation.

Miroslavas Zdanovicius raised to 1,600 on the button, then called when small blind Keith Littlewood moved all in for 28,200.
Keith Littlewood: A♠J♥
Miroslavas Zdanovicius: Q♠Q♦
The flop came 2♥A♣4♦ and Littlewood jumped into the lead with a pair of aces against Zdanovicius' queens. The board ran out 4♣6♦ and Littlewood doubled up.
Heads-up on a flop of 10♣2♥Q♠, Jamie Walden bet 2,000 from the hijack and Andrew Christoforou called on the button.
The turn came the Q♣ and Walden bet another 5,000. Christoforou again called to see the 5♦ river, where Walden slid forward a stack of yellow 5,000 chips, putting Christoforou all in.
Christoforou quickly called off his last 18,000 and Walden turned over K♥Q♥ for trip queens. Christoforou mucked and headed off to the rail, while Walden raked in the pot.
David Algarra got his last 19,000 in the middle from the hijack and the always active Terry Jordon, seemingly involved in every pot at his table, called in early position.
David Algarra: 4♦4♥
Terry Jordon: Q♥6♣
Algarra needed his pocket pair to hold up to survive, and he managed to navigate the 8♣5♠J♦A♥J♥ board to double up.
"That was as fair a fight," Jordon said.
More than 20,000 was in the pot as Shapiur Rahman and Christopher Wood went to the turn on a board of A♦3♥7♦10♠. Wood bet 15,300 from the big blind, but Rahman came back with an all-in shove under the gun.
Wood tanked for several minutes until he called and Rahman confirmed the bad news, showing A♠A♥ for top set. Wood nodded and turned over A♣3♦ as he was already drawing dead by the J♠ river.
The stacks were counted down and Rahman had 54,000 remaining. Wood had him covered by just 5,000 and was left on a short stack, while Rahman doubled to move up among the chip leaders.

Jay Villegas raised to 1,200 in middle position and Terry Jordon called on the button before Zackery Liversedge moved all in for around 12,000. Villegas folded, but Jordon called.
Zackery Liversedge: A♣9♣
Terry Jordon: A♠2♦
The 9♦5♠9♥ flop gave Liversedge trips and a big lead in the pot, but Jordon picked up a straight draw on the 3♣ turn. "Please, no," Liversedge pleaded, and he witnessed the harmless 6♦ fall on the river to double up.
A few hands later, Jordon bet 16,500 on a board of 8♠6♥3♠5♦ before Cosmin Penescu moved all in for 35,000. Jordon called with 7♣4♣ for a straight, while Penescu threw his J♣J♦ into the middle of the table and prepared to stand up from the table.
The river came the 2♠ and Jordon sent Penescu to the rail.
Heads-up on a flop of 10♣5♣8♠, Tuan Le bet 2,000 from the cutoff before Niall Farrell raised to 6,000 in the small blind.
Le came back with a reraise to 12,000 and Farrell responded by moving all in. Le only had around 10,000 remaining and tanked for a minute before mucking.
A queen was exposed preflop before Daniel Laidlaw raised to 1,300 in middle position. Yucel Eminoglu then three-bet to 4,300 in the cutoff and Laidlaw called.
The flop came 7♠2♥3♣ and Eminoglu bet 4,000. "I thought that was a queen on the flop. I lost two outs. I thought the queen was out first and the rest was coming," Eminoglu said.
Laidlaw called and both players then checked the 7♥ turn. "Queen," Eminoglu pleaded, and he got his wish as the Q♦ fell on the river.
"Whatever you do I'm betting," Eminoglu said, holding his chips up in the air. Laidlaw checked and Eminoglu bet 10,000.
"The queens love me. That's why I have to bet when they come," Eminoglu said. But Laidlaw then came back with an all-in shove for around 50,000 and Eminoglu snap-folded.
