Stefano Maresca: Q♥Q♦ All in

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Steven Jones moved all in for 250,000 in the hijack and Ahmad Niazi called in the big blind.

Steven Jones: K♣10♣ All in
Ahmad Niazi: Q♣J♣

"Why do we have to do this right now? Not like this," Jones said as he awaited the flop, which came J♦10♠7♠. Both players hit a pair, but Niazi was ahead with his jacks as the rest of the board ran out 8♥3♠ to send Jones to the rail.

"That's a shit hand. Your favorite hand sucks," Jones joked with Niazi on his way to the exit.

Shenghe Yang: 4♠3♠ All in
Ibrahim Kiriakus: J♣9♠

Level 23 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Parker Talbot and Darren Rabinowitz were heads-up on a 8♣2♦4♥ flop. It appeared Rabinowitz had check-raised a bet from Talbot from the big blind to 160,000. Talbot, who was in middle position, responded by making it 275,000 to go, which sent Rabinowitz deep into the tank.

Talbot eventually called the clock and Rabinowitz announced he was all in for approximately 500,000 total. Talbot snap-called having Rabinowitz covered and hands were revealed.

Darren Rabinowitz: Q♥8♠ All in
Parker Talbot: 8♦4♦

Talbot had a commanding lead with his two pair and the 7♥K♠ runout provided no help to Rabinowitz — eliminating him from contention.

Level 23 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Stephen Song had already opened from early position and Shiina Okamoto three-bet for a bit under 300,000 — leaving herself just a few chips behind. Song announced he was all in and Okamoto called to put herself at risk.

Shiina Okamoto: K♥J♥ All in
Stephen Song: Q♣Q♦

Okamoto would need some help, but the 4♠9♣5♥J♣10♣ runout wasn't enough and Song collected the rest of Okamoto's chips.
