Level 10
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Jhonny Ortiz moved all in for around 400K from the button and Susan Pell called off for 195,000 from the small blind. The player in the big blind got out of the way and the hands were turned up.
Susan Pell: A♣Q♣
Jhonny Ortiz: A♥Q♦
Both players had the same hand, but Pell was suited. The 5♣A♠K♣ flop gave her a freeroll to a club flush, and she didn't have to wait long to hit it as the dealer burned and turned the 7♣.
The meaningless 2♠ was run out on the river and Pell scored the double.

Andre Proctor moved all in from under the gun for 121,000, with Jhonny Ortiz taking some in the big blind before announcing a call.
Andre Proctor: J♠J♣
Jhonny Ortiz: Q♥J♦
Proctor was in great shape until the Q♠K♠K♥ flop, where Ortiz connected to take the lead. The 9♥ turn and A♥ river changed nothing, sending Proctor to the rail.

Brian Rota moved all in for 170,000 from middle position and Ron Burke looked him up from the cutoff. The button and blinds all folded and the hands were turned up.
Brian Rota: K♦9♠
Ron Burke: A♥Q♥
Rota took the lead on the 6♣4♣9♥ flop, but it was only temporary as the dealer burned and turned the Q♠. The 7♥ river was no help to Rota and he exited the tournament with just four tables remaining.

Ryan Meleedy opened in middle position, finding calls from Les Mildenberg in the small blind and Jhonny Ortiz in the big blind.
The dealer fanned out the A♥8♦K♦ flop, with all three players checking to the 6♥ turn.
Another trio of checks saw the 6♠ fall on the river, where Mildenberg led out for 30,000. That was enough to take down the pot, as Ortiz and Meleedy both slid their cards into the muck.

Slade Edmonds limped from early position and Yianni Emmanouilidis raised all in for around 140,000. Chris Nichol called next to act and the rest of the players folded, including Edmonds.
Yianni Emmanouilidis: A♥3♣
Chris Nichol: A♦K♥
Emmanouilidis had a kicker problem and it got worse when the K♦J♠6♠ flop paired Nichol. The 5♣ turn left Emmanouilidis drawing dead and he headed for the exit after the meaningless 5♦ was run out on the river.
