Level 20 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Michael Aspell raised to 20,000 in the cutoff, Majid Iqbal moved all in from the small blind, and Aspell called.

Michael Aspell: K♥K♦ All in
Majid Iqbal: A♣Q♥

Iqbal was looking for an ace against Aspell's kings, but he missed the 4♥J♣9♥7♠5♠ board and began wishing his tablemates good luck. A count of the chips, though, showed he had Aspell covered by just 10,000, and he sat back down to an extreme short stack.

At another table, Vasileios Kontogiannis and Martin Byrne tangled in another all-in pot as Kontogiannis had his last 80,000 in from under the gun.

Vasileios Kontogiannis: Q♥J♥ All in
Martin Byrne: A♦K♠

Kontogiannis again took the lead on the J♦8♠2♣ flop, then improved to two pair on the Q♣ turn. Byrne couldn't hit the 9♥ river this time, and Kontogiannis doubled right back.
