Action was picked up with Saleh Assi all in for 30,000. Simone Andrian and Sven McDermott had already called a reraise to 10,500 before Assi moved all in. Saar Wilf moved all in to isolate Assi's stack. Andrian and McDermott folded.
Saleh Assi: 8♣8♥
Saar Wilf: A♠A♥
The flop of 7♣9♠6♣ gave Assi an open-ender, but Wilf's aces held across the 4♥ turn and 9♥ river to secure Assi's stack and the dead money.

One of the most entertaining shows in poker is stepping it up a notch as PokerStars announced that the next season of Big Game on Tour will feature four-time Super Bowl champion and NFL star Rob "Gronk" Gronkowski.
Gronkowski, who spent 11 seasons as a tight end in the NFL and is now a sports analyst, will compete on the upcoming The Big Game on Tour season alongside the pros, Loose Cannons and sports media personality Nick Wright, whose appearance was also confirmed on Thursday.
“I’m always up for a challenge, and diving into the world of poker is going to be an amazing new adventure for me," Gronkowski said in a press release. “I’m beyond excited to play alongside some of the best in the game and tackle the high-stakes action. Just like on the football field, I’ll be bringing my competitive edge and giving it everything I’ve got at the tables.”
Daniel Rezaei started things off in middle position with a raise to 1,000, getting a call from Peng Chen in the hijack. However, Oleg Ustinovich in the cutoff had other ideas and three-bet to 3,500. Rezaei wasn’t backing down and responded with a four-bet to 8,500, which only Ustinovich called.
Rezaei continued to take charge on the 2♥5♣Q♦ flop, leading out with a bet of 4,500 that Ustinovich called.
He kept the pressure on with a bet of 9,000 on the 6♠ turn, and once again, Ustinovich called.
When the J♦ hit the river, Rezaei checked after burning a time bank card. Ustinovich took his time, using one of his own time bank cards before shoving all in, prompting a quick fold from Rezaei.
