Jordan Saccucci raised from the cutoff to 4,500. The small blind joined with a call, before Paul Tirnovean reraised to 21,000 in the big blind. Saccucci then four-bet all in, with Tirnovean covering him by 5,000 chips. The small blind folded and Tirnovean made the call. He showed A♦K♣, but Saccucci was favourite to win a huge pot as he tabled K♥K♦.
Kings was still comfortably out in front on the J♥9♦3♦ flop.
No help was offered on the turn either, with the 6♥ hitting the felt, leaving Tirnovean with just three outs on the river.
He missed them all, as the river ran out the 8♣, leaving Tirnovean with just 5,000 left. Meanwhile, Saccucci climbed among the chip leaders, winning a huge pot.

The flop came 5♦4♦3♣. Dja Daouadji checked and Hand bet 6,500.

Alex Keating was in a heads-up pot against Bernat Carreras and faced a decision for his tournament life on a board of 2♦4♣8♣J♦.
With around 75,000 already in the pot, Carreras bet a stack of 5,000 chips to put Keating all in for his final 60,000 or so.
"My ace-high might be good. It would be crazy," Keating said. "You're about to have a lot of chips after this hand."
Someone at the table called the clock and Keating eventually called as his 30 seconds wound down. "Don't report this," Keating told PokerNews.
Alex Keating: A♦K♣
Bernat Carreras: 9♥9♣
Carreras was ahead with a pair of nines but Keating had overcard outs before the 8♠ bricked off on the river to mark the American's elimination.
