Andrew Hulme raised to 1,300 in the cutoff and Haoran Dai called in the small blind. Inaki Angulo then three-bet to 5,000 in the big blind and Hulme moved all in for 25,800. Dai folded, but Angulo snap-called and instantly stood up from his seat as the Spanish YouTuber began filming the action.

Inaki Angulo: K♠K♥

Angulo had woken up with kings and took an even bigger lead when the K♦10♥9♥ flop gave him top set. The 6♦ turn left Hulme drawing dead, while the J♣ completed the board on the river and sent Hulme to the rail.

With around 10,000 in the pot on a flop of 8♥3♦4♦, Tianyi Jiang and Lucas Alexander checked to the turn.

At another table, Jack "JaackMaate" Dean was recently eliminated for a second time today by Richard Schneiderman. "He has the most reach of the entire team, so you're in trouble now," Aaron Barone told Schneiderman.
