Level 17 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Ryan Mandara raised to 12,000 in early position and Saymon Dias called in middle position. Chin Wei Lim then moved all in for 38,000 in the hijack and Mandara reraised to 65,000. Dias slid forward 100,000 and Mandara quickly folded.

Chin Wei Lim: 8♠8♣ All in
Saymon Dias: A♥A♦

"There are eights left in the deck. You can get a full triple," tablemate Nick Palma told Lim heading to the flop. Lim caught the 8♦, but it was followed by A♠9♦ to give Dias a higher set.

"Eight one time," Palma said, but Lim's miracle didn't arrive on the J♦ turn or 2♦ river as Dias improved to a flush to send Lim to the rail.

Action was picked up on the river with around 150,000 in the middle. Brock Wilson checked in the cutoff to Thomas Eychenne on the button.

Rough Beat for Torelli as Tammel Doubles

Tyler Foran

Level 17 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Tarmo Tammel opened to 55,000 on the button, leaving just 4,000 behind, Nichan Khorchidian called in the small blind and Alec Torelli snap-jammed jammed in the big blind for about 180,000. Tammel called off his last 4,000, and Khorchidian tanked for nearly two minutes before making the fold.

Tarmo Tammel: A♠5♦ All in
Alec Torelli: A♦K♥

"I folded a pair," claimed Khorchidian.

"That's why I snap-jammed. So you would fold a pair," Torelli responded.

The 3♦2♦2♥ flop missed both players, and the 3♠ turn suggested they were likely to chop the pot. However, the 5♥ river improved Tammel to fives and threes, securing the double.

Player	Chips	Progress
Nichan Khorchidian	320,000 85,000	85,000
