Ali Sets Up Opponent for Big Double
Level 14
: 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante
Three players each committed 35,000 preflop and saw a flop of 
. Donald Ali was first to act and bet 40,000 from middle position, which his two opponents in the hijack and cutoff both called.
After the dealer burned and turned the 
, Ali bet 85,000 and left himself about 50,000 back. That drove out the player in the hijack but not the player in the cutoff, who wound up raising all in. Ali quickly called off his remaining stack and the hands were revealed.
Ali: 
Cutoff: 
Ali had flopped a set and just needed to dodge a king on the river to stay alive. He did just that as the safe 
peeled off to give him the double.
"Yes, finally," an excited Ali said as the dealer confirmed the stacks.

Goldberg Sends Opponent to the Rail
Level 15
: 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
A player in early position moved all in for 95,500 and Mike Goldberg responded by jamming over the top for around 120,000 from the hijack. Everyone else got out of the way and the hands were turned up.
Goldberg: 
Opponent: 
The 
flop paired the at-risk player but Goldberg's kings were still out in front. Neither the 
turn nor 
river changed a thing and Goldberg scored the knockout.

Maurice Hawkins, a 13-time WSOP Circuit ring winner, raised the hijack to 21,000 and Jon Lane, who is decked out in a flamingo shirt, defended his big blind to see a 
flop.
Lane check and Hawkins continued for 28,000. Lane thought long and hard before making the call and the 
peeled off on the turn.
Lane shifted gears by moving all in and Hawkins snap-folded his hand.

Yi Claims Larger Side Pot
Level 16
: 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
An extremely short-stacked player got his last 5,000 all in preflop from early position and Yi Wei moved all in over the top next to act. Action folded around to the player in the big blind you called off for 53,000.
Wei: 
Big Blind: 
Short Stack: 
Wei had the best of it but the short stack took the lead on the 
flop. The turn paired Wei but also meant a queen would give the big blind Broadway.
The dealer burned one last time and put out the 
. The short stack tripled up with two pair while Wei took down the much larger side pot.
