Five players went to the turn on a board of Q♥8♠5♣Q♠ when the big blind bet 1,600. Ibrain Rueda called under the gun, while Josep Valls then raised to 4,700 in the hijack. Terry Jordon called in the cutoff and action folded back to Rueda, who moved all in for 28,500. Valls folded, but Jordon called to put him at risk.

Level 6 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Ibrain Rueda limped in from the cutoff before the button raised to 2,000. Josep Valls then three-bet to 7,000 in the small blind, and both opponents called.

The flop came A♥9♥K♦ and Valls bet 6,300. Only the button called to see the 6♠ turn, where Valls bet another 18,500. The button again called.

The river was the 3♠ and Valls moved all in. His opponent tanked for a minute before calling for his last 23,000 with A♠Q♦, but Valls had A♦K♣ for two pair to win the pot and earn the knockout.

At another table, Michael Falcon moved all in for 25,000 from the hijack on a board of 7♦5♣9♦7♣, and Claudio Dos Santos called under the gun.

Falcon showed K♦J♦ for a flush draw, but he was already drawing dead as Dos Santos turned over 9♥9♣ for a full house. The river was the 6♦ and Falcon was sent to the rail.
