Right after serving a one-round penalty, action folded to Anthony Kennedy in the small blind. Kennedy moved all in and was quickly at risk when Yucel Eminoglu called in the big blind.
"What can I do?" asked Eminoglu as he turned over his cards.
Anthony Kennedy: 10♣5♦ 
Yucel Eminoglu: A♥A♦
Kennedy found some help on the 8♥10♥8♠ flop, while the 9♦ turn left Eminoglu in front. The dealer then revealed the 8♣ river, giving Eminoglu and full house and sending Kennedy to the rail.
Level: 9
Blinds: 800/1,600
Ante: 1,600
Paul Trotter opened in middle position before Stephen Mckay three-bet to 10,000 in the small blind. Trotter then moved all in and was quickly called.
Stephen Mckay: Q♣Q♦
Paul Trotter: J♣J♦
Mckay was looking to dodge a jack, but the 10♦8♦J♦ saw Trotter take the lead. The rest of the 8♣K♠ runout was no help, as Trotter saw his queens come up second best to hit the rail.
Fan Longmao was all in and at risk against Ben Miller on his right.
Fan Longmao: A♥Q♥
Ben Miller: A♦6♦
Miller was in bad shape until the 8♥6♣2♦ flop delivered a pair of sixes. Longmao was unable to improve on the 5♣ turn or 8♣ river, ending his run as Miller raked in the pot.
