Cole Swannack was already all in for approximately 130,000 against Shengyu Zhao, who had Swannack covered.

Cole Swannack: A♦7♥All in
Shengyu Zhao: K♥K♦

Swannack was in rough shape against Zhao's kings, and the 8♥4♥Q♥8♠10♦ runout changed nothing to eliminate Swannack late in the evening.

Players were heads up on the 8♦10♥8♥ flop with Jennifer Cassell in an early position and against an opponent from under the gun.

Jennifer Cassell: A♦A♠All in
Under the Gun: A♥7♥

Cassell had woken up with aces, and was looking at two pair. There was a sweat of a flush draw for her opponent, but Cassell held on the J♦ turn and 3♣ river, securing her a full double up.

The cards were already on their backs with the dealer just peeling the river card. Sam Ruha was all in for his remaining ~60,000 and at risk from the big blind against Ricky Vikas on the button who had him covered.

Toby Joyce and Denis Jankovic were heads-up in what appeared to be a three-bet pot on a flop of A♦6♥9♦.

Joyce checked from under the gun and called a 35,000 bet from Jankovic on the flop and then Joyce led out for 42,000 on the 9♥ turn. Jankovic called.

The 5♥ completed the board and Joyce went back to checking, prompting a 110,000 bet from Jankovic.

Joyce went deep into the tank and burned up two time extensions before deciding to lay his hand down, conceding the pot to Jankovic.

Level 18 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

After an early position open, Michael Gathy called from the hijack, along with the button and Andrew Hinrichsen in the big blind.

The players went four ways to the 10♠4♦7♦ flop and action checked to Gathy who bet 40,000. The button made it 80,000 and all other players folded. Action went to Gathy who topped up to call, and they went heads-up to the 6♣ turn.

Both opted to check to see the 7♥ river and Gathy bet out 175,000. There was a quick fold from the button, leaving Gathy to pick up a sizeable pot.
