Level 14 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Satoshi Ikeda moved all in for 80,000 from early position and Sanjay Haran called in the hijack.

Satoshi Ikeda: J♥J♦
Sanjay Haran: A♣A♦

Ikeda was at serious risk of elimination after seeing the two aces of Haran and found no help on the 6♥K♥10♥6♦K♠ board, sending him to the rail a few spots short of the money.

Ariel Galactico raised to 11,000 on the button and Mark Buckley defended his big blind.

The flop came 9♠7♣A♣ and Galactico continued for 11,000. Buckley called and both players then checked down the 5♦ turn and 4♥ river, Galactico taking the pot with a flopped pair of nines.

The next hand, Galactico bet 7,000 on a board of 5♠3♥5♣K♥ and Buckley called in the small blind. Both players then checked the J♦ river.

"Ace-high," Buckley said, turning over A♠8♠ that was good enough to win the pot.

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Mark Buckley and "Rothman" were heads-up in a blind versus blind confrontation and the board showing 5♣A♣K♥J♦.

"Rothman" then moved all in for his last 115,000 and Buckley quickly called with K♣3♣ for a pair and flush draw. "Rothman" turned over Q♥10♠ for the nut straight.

The river brought the 10♣ and a collective gasp arose from the table as Buckley completed his flush. "Rothman" could only shrug and wish his tablemates good luck before heading to the rail.

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Yossi Ifergan raised to 8,000 under the gun before Peter Freden three-bet to 24,000 in early position. Cedric Jaby called from the big blind, as did Ifergan as they went three-handed to the J♣3♠5♥ flop.

Freden continued for 27,000 before Jaby moved all in for 145,000. Ifergan called off his last 100,000, while Freden got out of the way.

Yossi Ifergan: 5♠5♦
Cedric Jaby: J♠J♦

Ifergan had flopped a set of fives, but Jaby showed him the bad news when he turned over a set of jacks. The board ran out 3♦7♥ and Ifergan couldn't hit a one-outer to stay alive, sending him crashing to the rail.

Jaby Doubles Off Nicoli Amid Controversy

Level 12 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

The rest of the field had already gone off on dinner break as Cedric Jaby and Antoine Nicoli became involved in a controversial situation at their table.

Jaby had moved all in for 55,000 on a board of 9♣5♥10♣2♠. Nicoli turned over 10♥6♠ and flung them into the middle of the table as Jaby showed 5♠5♣ for a set.

The dealer heard Nicoli say call and went to turn over the river before Nicoli insisted he had said fold. An argument ensued that took nearly 10 minutes as Nicoli passionately asserted he had folded.

Jaby demanded that Nicoli pay off the 55,000 and the floor had to be called over. It was ruled that Nicoli had to put in the chips, much to his disagreement as the river came the J♦, giving Jaby a double up.
