Sitzoukis Catches Lightning on the River to Bust Klinger

Level 11 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Daniel Klinger opened to 8,000 from the hijack and it was folded to Paris Sitzoukis on the button, who announced he was all in for approximately 90,000 total.

"Don't slow roll me!" Sitzoukis shouted as it was folded back to Klinger.

Klinger obliged and quickly called all in for slightly less when the action was back on him.

Daniel Klinger: A♦A♥All in
Paris Sitzoukis: 10♦10♠

Klinger was in great shape to double up with his rockets and remained that way on the 5♥K♠3♣ flop and 3♥ turn. However, a fateful 10♣ landed on the river — improving Sitzoukis to a full house to eliminate Klinger from Day 1d.

Level 10 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Shengfeng Ma opened to 6,500 from early position and was called by Stylianos Makariou in the small blind and Ryan Hall in the big blind.

All three players checked on the J♣K♥Q♠ flop and then Makariou led out for 8,000 on the 5♥ turn. Hall called, but Ma then squeezed to 24,500. Makariou and Hall both called.

The Q♥ completed the board and Makariou led out for 18,000. Neither of his opponents wanted any part of it and folded — awarding the pot uncontested to Makariou.

Brutal Cooler Ends Ajez's Day

Level 10 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Ryan Hall opened to 6,000 from middle position and was called by Najeem Ajez in the hijack, Shengfeng Ma in the cutoff, Jarrod Thatcher in the small blind, and Banipal Babana in the big blind for a five-way pot.

It was checked to Ajez on the Q♦Q♠7♥ flop and he bet 10,000. Ma called and everyone else folded.

Ma called an 18,000 bet from Alez on the 5♣ turn and then shoved all in facing a 32,000 bet from Ajez on the 8♠ river.

Ajez looked pained and re-checked his hole cards before calling all in for approximately 30,000.

Ma turned over 7♦7♠ for a flopped full house and Ajez showed he held KxQx for trip queens before exiting the tournament area.

Babana Catches the Turn to Double Through Lin

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Banipal Babana shoved for his last 33,000 on the button and just behind him, Gary Lin also went all in for more in the small blind. The big blind got out of the way and a showdown was held.

Banipal Babana: A♥3♦All in
Gary Lin: A♣J♦

Babana would need some help, which didn't come on the K♠10♣7♥ flop; however, the 3♣ turn paired his trey to vault him into the lead.

The 4♥ river bricked out for Lin, who grimaced and nodded his head — seemingly accepting his fate before surrendering the majority of his stack.
