Cullen Falls Victim to Cracked Aces
Level 25
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Benedict Cullen raised to 80,000 under the gun before Karel Havelka three-bet to 220,000 in the small blind. Cullen then moved all in for 600,000, and Havelka snap-called.
Benedict Cullen: A♠A♥ 
Karel Havelka: K♥K♠
Cullen was on the right side of the cooler and poised for a double up, but Havelka spiked a set on the K♣8♣3♥ flop. The 3♠ turn improved him to a full house, while the 9♠ fell on the river and Cullen was sent to the rail.
At another table, Yael Pilo Raz had moved all in for 690,000 on the button and Luis Moreira put her at risk in the hijack.
Yael Pilo Raz: 6♣6♥
Luis Moreira: 10♦10♣
Raz was dominated by Moreira's tens, and she couldn't catch up on the A♠5♥7♥Q♦5♣ board as Moreira scored the knockout.
