Ji then bet another 30,000 and Shaw came back with a raise to 110,000. Ji used a time bank as he tanked for a minute before mucking A♠9♠. Shaw showed him K♠10♦ for the flopped straight as he took the pot.

Carl Shaw raised to 18,000 in the hijack and Sinead Priestley then moved all in for 160,000 on the button. "This is a close one," Shaw said as he tanked for a moment before calling.
Sinead Priestley: A♣A♠
Carl Shaw: K♣Q♣
The flop came 10♠10♦8♣, while Priestley remained in front on the 9♠ turn but Shaw picked up a straight draw. The river came the J♣.
"No. Happens every time. So annoying," Priestley said, still smiling despite Shaw completing his straight to send her to the rail. She stopped to take a picture of the board before heading for the rail.

Mark Reed was already all in from the hijack as cutoff Martin Donoghue and Pablo Rojas in middle position went to the flop with around 120,000 in the middle.
The flop came 7♦2♥A♥ and Donoghue bet 25,000, forcing Rojas from the pot.
Mark Reed: A♦9♦
Martin Donoghue: A♠8♠
Both players had flopped an ace, but Reed was ahead with his nine-kicker as the Q♣5♥ completed the board.
Reed raised both his arms in the air as secured the double up. "Only one nine left," Rojas said.
"Look at how happy he is," Donoghue added.

Blind versus blind, Fabian Donovan and Martin Donoghue got the rest of Donovan's 360,000 in the middle before the flop.
Fabian Donovan: 6♦6♥
Martin Donoghue: A♦J♦
It was a massive flip with more than 700,000 in the middle, and Donovan emerged ahead as the board came 3♠3♣5♦10♣10♦, leaving Donoghue on an extreme short stack.
At the same time on another table, Adam Wilkinson was all in for his last 160,000 from the big blind and up against Yiannis Liperis in the hijack.
Adam Wilkinson: A♦K♦
Yiannis Liperis: J♦J♠
"We need an ace," Wilkinson said heading to the 3♣8♣9♦ flop. "That's not good," he added before the 2♣ fell on the turn.
"Shit," he said, watching the 7♣ river seal his elimination.

Charles Chattha moved all in for 117,000 in the small blind and Nathan Jones called in the big blind.
Charles Chattha: A♦9♦
Nathan Jones: K♣K♥
Chattha needed an ace to stay alive, but none came on the 5♠2♥7♣J♦ board as Chattha stood up from his seat. The river, though, came the A♣.
"There it is. Good ole' get up," tablemate Teodor Evstratiev said as Chattha sat back down.
"I had to try that one," Chattha said, collecting his fortunate double up.

Heads-up on a board of 4♥9♦7♦4♥, Mihail Popa moved all in for 100,000 from early position and Dooley snap-called in the cutoff.
Popa had Q♠Q♥, but Dooley turned over K♦Q♦ for a flush. Popa was already out of his seat by the time the 10♥ fell on the river and was sent to the rail.

Martin Donoghue and Fabian Donovan just tangled in another all-in pot, this with Donoghue's last 150,000 in the middle on the button.
Martin Donoghue: J♦9♦
Fabian Donovan: 7♣7♠
The 10♣2♦3♦ flop gave Donoghue a flush draw to go with his overcards, but he missed the 2♥ turn. "I'm going to use my one time," he told his tablemates.
It worked, as the 4♦ arrived on the river to complete his flush.
"Now at the final table you can't use it," Pablo Rojas joked as Donoghue doubled up.
