Level 25 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Yunkyu Song opened to 80,000 in middle position and Pablo Beltran three-bet to 175,000 in the small blind. Song, who had just raise-folded the previous hand, pushed out a stack of time banks and proceeded to sit back in an attempt to ladder.

After using six time banks, Song was informed he needed to act. He raised all in for 690,000 and Beltran called.

Yunkyu Song: A♣Q♦ All in
Pablo Beltran: Q♠Q♥

"Three outs. Ace is coming!" said Song.

"Queen is coming," Beltran replied cheekily.

The 6♣5♥2♥ flop and 10♦ turn didn't change anything, but the A♠ landed on the river to give Song the winner for a big double up.

"And I still have some time banks!" Song cheered.

Level 25 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

A huge three-way all in just took place at the secondary feature table resulting in the demise of Nick Palma.

Palma was all-in for approximately 600,000 on the button versus Tomasz Krzesinski in the small blind who had the covering stack, with Javey Timmer all in from the big blind for about 1,300,000.

Nick Palma: 6♥6♠ All in
Javey Timmer:K♦K♣ All in
Tomasz Krzesinski: A♥K♠

The flop came Q♥J♠10♠, immediately giving Krzesinski Broadway to leave both opponents on the verge of elimination.

The turn A♠ however saved Timmer, also giving him Broadway. Palma was dead to a chop and the Q♦ river confirmed his elimination while his two executioners chopped up his chips.
