Level 29 : 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

A player in middle position moved all in for 1,570,000 and Aaron Massey re-shoved all in for about 1,600,000. The rest of the table quickly folded and the hands were shown.

Aaron Massey: {a-Clubs}{q-Clubs}
Opponent: {j-Clubs}{9-Clubs}

The board ran out {k-Clubs}{10-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{4-Hearts} and Massey's ace queen high was enough to earn him the knockout.

Level 29 : 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante
Arnaldo Gordon
Arnaldo Gordon

The board showed {10-Spades}{8-Clubs}{5-Spades}{2-Spades}{2-Hearts} and there was 1,450,000 sitting in the middle of the table. Ronit Chamani fired in 800,000 and Arnaldo Gordon took a moment to think.

Ultimately Gordon elected to call and Chamani tabled {k-Clubs}{j-Spades} for king-high, Gordon turned over {8-Spades}{7-Clubs} for two pair and more than enough to take down the pot.
